I can't believe it, but I am already 36 weeks pregnant. 36 weeks has always been the time that I start having a few minor issues with my pregnancies. And this one isn't any different. My appointment last week revealed that both twins are breech (with their heads together right between my rib cage and directly under my sternum.) So whenever I have a contraction... they somehow get pushed up into my rib cage and..... ouch is all I have to say. They are so tight in there that there is most likely no way that they could turn.The main problem is that both girls aren't gaining weight like they need to be and they're dropping pretty quick in percentages. About 1 month ago they were both 40% now they are in the 15% and 10%, which is pretty concerning and my Doctors are now saying that they will only let me go another week (at most) because these girls are literally running out of "womb" to move and grow. And of course I am still gaining weight. If it isn't too much to ask... please keep us in your prayers.
Come Thursday we should have a rough idea of when these two are coming....so ready or not here they come!
Jacob insisted that we take a shot from the front and back (which I refuse to post) just to show how narrow I still am. I went to Wal-mart last night and everyone kept staring at me, just kind of shocked with how much my stomach stuck out. The best was going to get ice cream because the girl at the counter literally gasped when I turned around and blurted out "when are you due?" And I said "any day with twins." and she said... "you don't even look pregnant from behind so I was quite shocked to see you turn around." I know that I must be pretty big because I am getting a lot of reactions like that lately... something that I am not use to at all.And yes I feel just as miserable as I look in these photos, I have had horrible allergies, and my pelvis hurts so bad I can barely walk. And my stomach is so stretched out that it is literally numb to the touch. So I am physically more than ready to be done, but I'm not sure I'd ever be completely ready for these twins.

ok you look ready to not be pregnant. I am so excited for this week! Can't wait to see these little girls. Good luck!!!!
You poor, poor, Mamma! Thank goodness you only have to endure a little bit more of this torture! Well! I feel your pain! I was never able to have twins, but I birthed three babies that were as big as my brother's twins combined! I was stared at all the time and people in the store used to ask me constantly if I was having twins. When I told them, "No," they would say, "Are you sure?" Keep remembering how "twice blessed" you are! A lot of people out there (like me) wished they could have had twins! We miss you!!!!
PS I'd love it if you could send me or post a picture of Kaylie in her dress? (And Aaron in his tie) How did it work out? I never got to see her in it!
