Update on Babies

Well I am officially 33 weeks and 3 days today!! I was put on bed rest 26 days ago and was not sure if I would make it to this day with the babies still cooking. I am happy to report that the babies are still cooking away!! We had an ultrasound this morning and I am happy to report both babies are very healthy. Baby A stands in at 4 pounds 15 ounces and Baby B stands in at 4 pounds 14 ounces. The doctor said if I were carrying a singleton baby they would be in the 60th percentile and large. His words exactly were " for twins they are very large. You two don't make small babies". The doctor said it is a waiting game at this point and I could make it to 37 or 38 weeks or I could go into labor in the next few days. I see my actual Doctor this Friday to see if he will take me off bed rest. He told me last visit he would take me off between 34-35 weeks. I will be 34 weeks on Saturday. I am keeping my fingers crossed to get off bed rest and get out of the house. The doctor said as soon as they take me off bed rest they encouraging labor and will do nothing to stop it. Both babies are still head down so I will get the chance to push!! Not sure if I am ready to push out two babies, but I know with Brandon by my side I can do it.
    Since my last update a few things have changed. I am now having more intense contractions. Boy oh boy do they hurt!! Unfortunately my body likes to tease me. I will have 3 contractions 10 minutes apart and think the day has arrived only for everything to stop and go back to status quo. I have a contraction every time I sit up and get up to walk around. The only times I do not have them are when I take a bath or am laying on my right side. The other day I thought we were for sure headed to the hospital as I had a contraction with a shooting pain that I have never felt before. Brandon and my mom said the look on my face was priceless. Brandon said he has never seen me in such pain. I can only imagine what my face will look like during labor. I told them if labor was going to be worse than that pain I quit. I do know one thing for sure is I will probably have a few choice words to say while in delivery. So we are now in a holding pattern. The hospital bags are packed and each night we are prepared if we need to go. It would be nice if someone could give us an exact day the babies would make an appearance, but no one can seem to answer that. The Doctor said my body is definitely preparing for labor with the contractions, but the babies are still content to bake inside at this point. I am torn between wanting them out because I am so uncomfortable at this point, but also want them to be as healthy as possible. And did I mention I am not the most patient person. Below are a few pictures taken recently. Please disregard the stretch marks. I am growing so quick that my stomach is stretched to the max. I will continue to post updates as we get them so keep checking back.
