don't you think it's time to come out? maybe? ...please? there's warm milk and cute clothes and soft diapers and a loving big sister out here waiting to give you kisses. so yeah... make with the being born, please.
so yeah, i was wrong about this weekend
in fact, i haven't had a contraction since yesterday. a handful of BH, but that's it. there is some body part that has dropped into position in my pelvis at this point- i want to say (and believe) it's a head, but my cervix is still out of reach and posterior so she's not THAT far down, either that or that's not a head wedged in my pelvis (oh gosh, please be a head...)
at the last visit the mw predicted they were about 7 pounds apiece. i'm predicting elephants at this point. fundal height: 54cm. around the widest part of my belly? i can't even get the whole tape measure around me but it's something like 68 inches, i think. that's four inches more than my height standing.
: i look ridiculous. people stare in public like i'm going to squat down and drop a baby on the floor, or something. i am guessing personally that baby boy will be almost 8 pounds and baby girl will be almost 7. apparently all the yummy protein i've been chowing on (i'm HUGE and i really think i no longer have a stomach sometimes- but omg, i'm still constantly, insatiably hungry!) is doing the job. nice fat babies were my goal, and nice fat babies i shall get. gimme some thigh rolls!
these babies are comfy and cozy, apparently. either that, or they hear their sister terrorizing me and say "hey, who wants to go out and listen to THAT?" we're trying to lure them out with bribes at this point. we bought a new swing and bouncer. we didn't need them really, they probably won't get used a ton, but they're cute and we thought maybe they'd want to check it out- no dice the stroller finally came today- it's awesome and nifty but highlights the fact that I HAVE NO BABIES TO PUT IN SAID STROLLER YET (well, my toddler spent an hour sitting in it, and she is so anti-stroller/being restrained it's scary... that's how cool this thing is!)
at this point, hey kids- stay in until whenever you want. whatever. i have a new laptop screen coming so i can repair my computer, dh has outpatient surgery on 2/1 (minor carpal tunnel work) and i don't want to have them on the weekend because like i said, the fam would be peeking in the windows. there are cute diapers stocking here and there this week, so i have to be online for that, right? i have a very busy week planned!
who wants to bet these little monkeys come either when daddy's in surgery or during the patchwork pixie stocking? 
: however, it seems that these babies are going to surpass their sister in gestational age, which is really surprising and really awesome. if i get to 37 weeks AND deliver 7+ pound twins... holy crap. i might have to climb a mountain naked and scream I AM A BIRTH WARRIORRRRR from the top! as uncomfy and miserable and cranky as i am now... i take comfort in the fact that i've already proven everyone wrong and every single day is another day i'm doing that.
...aaaand, i'm pretty sure i'm the only twin mom left on the february board. it's lonely here, guys. i was the one who was told OMG PRETERM LABOR RISK and all that other good fun stuff, those stupid progesterone shots, the works- so i got in the mindset that i WOULD have babies by now... apparently my kids are just as stubborn as i am and want to prove the world wrong. well, they're doing it. i just seriously can't believe that i've made it this far with all my "risk factors" (obesity, 'gestational LIEabetes,' OMGPRETERMLABORRISK!!11, having a previous 36 weeker...) i admire your spunk, kiddos, now please get your feet out of my major organs and let me sleep more than two hours a night!
i hope everyone is well! jude rose's update absolutely thrilled me. i'm so proud of her for sticking to her guns and having those babies HER way and so thrilled her little guys are healthy and happy along with their mama! go jude!
i'm sorry if this is rambly or nonsensical, LOL... like i said, functioning on almost no sleep here
keep having babies girls, i love your birth announcements... they keep me going, because eventually it will be me and i will be NOT PREGNANT! yay!
