They are getting bigger & doing flips!
It is hard to believe, but we just had our 34 week & final growth tracking ultrasound earlier this week. They have been every 4 weeks and 4 weeks from now the babies will be delivered (if they don't come sooner!). The babies have gotten so big since we had our last ultrasound 4 weeks ago. They both increased in weight by about 2 lbs in the 4 week period. The boy is estimated at 5 lbs. 2 oz, while the girl is estimated at 5 lbs. 6 oz! It is hard for me to believe that I am carrying around 10 1/2 pounds of baby! But I guess the picture says it all......
We also learned that the girl has done a flip since the last time we had an ultrasound and she is now in the breech position. If she stays like this, I will end up having a c-section, so we are hoping that she decides to do another flip. We will have an ultrasound at my next doctor's appointment, in two weeks, to check her position. After the 36 week mark, the doctor says there is little chance that she will flip due to the lack of room for her to move about!
We were able to get one picture from the ultrasound which shows the boys head and he has his hand up close to his mouth. It looks like he is trying to bite his nails. Ben and I think he is probably just bothered by the fact that his sister's butt is in his face! So we might not be the only ones who are hoping that she flips!

Jackie,
I still think you look great, girl!!! You are such a trooper! I hope that your little girl flips for you- what a little acrobat- I can't believe she even found room to do that!!!
Keep smiling and enjoy the last part of your pregnancy!!!
