35 Weeks

Well, we're on our way to having these boys get here! I can't believe we made it this far (neither can my doctor)!  It's been a rough last few weeks.  I've definitely gotten to the "I'm uncomfortable all the time" phase.

Some of my "symptoms":
-Swollen feet/legs! My right foot/leg is quite a bit more swollen most of the time. Thank goodness for compression socks!!
-Braxton Hicks. Happening much more often (but not making any progress dilation/effacement wise).  Particularly bad at night! Which brings me to...
-Not sleeping through the night. Definitely a tough one when still working! I usually get up every two hours between midnight and whenever my alarm goes off (usually around 530).  My boy B likes to shove his arm/leg into my right hip and cramp my muscle/ligament/cut off my circulation (might be a cause of the extra swelling in that leg??).  Sometimes I'll be up for an hour or two because I can't get comfortable.
-Back Aches. Sitting...Standing...Laying down...my belly is huge and it's making my back hurt!
-Stretch Marks...shhh! I do have a few (not very many actually though...and they only appeared in the last two weeks)...
-Numbness. I literally do NOT have feeling in the skin around my belly button. It's sooo weird. I think I'm reaching maximum capacity.

So...those are a few of the things I've been battling over the last few weeks.

As for the boys, last week we had an ultrasound. Baby A was measuring around 4lbs 10 oz. Baby B was measuring about 5lbs 3 oz!  The BIG news was that our Baby A FLIPPED for the first time ever. He was breech. :(  And, baby B was transverse (sideways). So...if they don't choose to behave soon and go back to being head down...it means a c-section.  YIKES! I'm pretty nervous about that prospect, but we knew it was a strong possibility with twins. So, trying to learn about everything c-sections...just in case.

And to finish off...here's my 35 week belly shot:
