32 week update

Short post, but just wanted to share the news that the twins are each measuring 5lbs. THAT'S A LOT OF BABY!!! With 4 weeks to go, they should weigh 7lbs each by my c-section. Yikes! Thank goodness my neighborhood pool opens during the week starting next Monday - I plan on spending LOTS of time sitting in the shallow end reading a book. I hate the weekends because it's so crowded. Maybe during the week, I'll feel comfortable enough to spend some time there and actually be able to take some of this weight off for a bit. I'm looking forward to it.

The insomnia has gotten really bad. I guess I just need to accept that it will be this way for the next 4 weeks. Every hour, I have to remind myself that it's not much longer now. I have to just hang in there and make the best of it. Not easy to do when you're perpetually exhausted and emotionally raw.

For those of you expecting twins, I found a great website for us: www.twinstuff.com They have great forums with encouragement and answers to pretty much any question you could have about having multiples.

27 days left....(that sounds almost do-able)

"Perpetually exhausted and emotionally raw". Perfectly put.
And wow, that is a lot of baby! Some say twins are double trouble, but I totally disagree - double the fun, double the love.
Crossing off another day....

EACH!! dear lord women. That is terrific news tho. You have some healthy monkeys in there. I am worried mine are too small (they are just in the 50% range).
Pool sounds like a dream. That is exactly what I want to do. Oh so much!

Hang in there. Not long now!!

So with 10 pounds of baby, several pounds of amnio fluid, heavier breasts and increased circulatory blood volume...no wonder you're feeling the effects! But the big countdown is on!
