34 Weeks

This past week I really started to feel like I was getting close to delivering. This weekend I was really tired and didn't feel so great. I tried to rest as much as I could. Sunday night Clay practiced smoking a brisket for our small group. Clay, his brother and my brother are in a BBQ competition the end of September. He is so excited about it, and this weekend was a great way to practice. We are truly blessed with such a great small group.

On Monday I went to the doctor for another ultrasound and follow up visit. The ultrasound went great! The twins are hitting all their measurements, the fluid is good, cervix is long, and heart beats were great. Colton is still breech and continues to be on the right side. I seriously don't think they have much room in there. The estimated weights were 5 pounds 9 oz, and 5 pounds 12 oz. I know this is just an estimate, but it is so strange thinking I could have over 11 pounds of baby in me now. The doctor also said "have your bag packed and ready we are getting close..." Twins are considered full term at 36 weeks. I think we are pretty much ready. Just a few more things to throw in my hospital bag and for Clay to do around the house and we will be good to go! :)
