It's the final countdown...(THANK GOD!!!)

All four of us went in today for our ultrasound, nonstress test and to see the doc. I'm glad it is probably our last ultrasound because that about kills me laying on my back like that. Can't handle the pressure and now I know why! Baby A is weighing in at 4.12 lbs and Baby B is weighing in at 5.5 lbs!!! That's over 10 lbs of baby in me!!!! They are still doing excellent, lots of movements and good strong heartbeats. They are both still breech, with Baby B doing lots of moving around still though. I think she is a bit of a bully in there being she is a tad bigger. Baby A was a little uncooperative during the stress testing, which makes me think she is still a little passive-aggressive! I've started to dialate (fingertip worth) and have been having increased contractions and a tad more painful ones at that! Doc says we could go in 2 days or 2 weeks, who knows! We have entered the waiting game now, as they will not stop labor if and when it starts at this point due to their size. Ideally, we will still not go until at least end of December (better chance of developing those lungs a bit more). They were calling the twins "take home babies," as their size and development thus far has been so good, they aren't thinking they will have too long of a hospital stay, which makes mom and dad pleased and thankful!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!
