Here I am today, at the 34 week mark!
Here are the facts and some updates on what's going on!
- As of last Friday, I was measuring 42 weeks. Which explains why my uterus gets irritated sometimes and I cramp.
- So far, we have only been to Labor & Delivery (L&D) one time, for a scare in the middle of the night. Turns out it was as the above mentioned, "uterine irritability."
- At my last ultrasound, two weeks ago, Baby A was measured at 4 lb, 14 oz and in the 90% of weight (aka huge). Baby B measured at 3 lbs 15 oz, in the 32% of weight (aka normal).
- For surgery purposes, they would like baby to be at least 5 lbs. Going by their calculations, that would happen around 35 weeks....and after 36 they most likely won't stop labor!
- Our birth plan is still unsure. If either baby is breech we will get a C-section and if they are both head down with no other complications, we'll go ahead and try natural. Natural with an epidural!
- The doctor here did something crazy the first time I saw him...he took me off bed rest. I am still resting when I can, but its strange to be "free of it completely.
- I have lots more to share, but I'm falling asleep!

Wow, such a blessing that you have made it this far! I think a few months ago that this milestone seemed far less likely! Keep baking those babies for a few more weeks and then we will finally get to meet those 2 precious boys. I wish I were closer so I could help, and hold them when they make it out into this world! I continue to pray for all of you...Very exciting times ahead for the McMenamy clan!!!
You are looking great! Happy to hear that all is going well. You are all in my prayers! Love, Grammy Susan
