Cantaloupes!

(9/13)  Oof.  Brutal night of sleep.  Insomnia is definitely making a comeback this week and I'm feeling like the old lady living above the frat house. Seriously boys, keep it down in there! 

(9/14) Woohoo!  A non-eventful, quick non-stress test.  In & out in under an hour.  Woot!  Our appointment got bumped to 8am and the boys were good and rowdy for the test. Maybe that's my problem... I keep going during nap time!

(9/15) Prenatal Visit: heart rates today were fast and faster.  All looking good!   Baby A was breech today & baby B is vertex.  I feel a ton of movement right around mid-belly from baby B, and can definitely tell when A is breech because his head is right up under my ribs.

(9/16) 34 weeks!  BabyCenter has this to say about this week:
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies. See what your baby looks like this week.
9/15 ~ close enough to 34 wks!
Got a call tonight that we're on the schedule for a c-section 10/14 at 9am.  We're just 29 days away from meeting the boys!
