Baby A is on your left and Baby B is on your right. Both babies are doing well and "look beautiful" according to the Ultrasound Tech. They weigh 2.1 and 2 pounds, which according to the Ultrasound Doctor is "a little smaller than average." Of course when they're inside of you, nothing feels smaller than average but rather gigantic. Obviously, that Doctor is just stupid.
 
Now you are looking at Baby B's face (left) like he's laying on the floor looking up at you and you are standing over him/her. And both babies (right) with their heads together, again. The Ultrasound Tech seemed surprised that they were head-to-head again, since last time they had their heads together, but I guess that just means they like each other.
  This is Denver's illustration of what I presently look like. While I feel like I look just like that, I look more like this:
I've gained a whopping twenty-seven pounds and measure 43 inches around. My "fundus" measures at 32 centimeters. During a normal pregnancy, at 27 weeks I'd be 27 centimeters, but whoever said this is a normal pregnancy? Even the Doctor was impressed. The Doctor plans on scheduling my c-section the next time I'm in (two weeks from now) and I imagine it will be sometime during the week before Halloween. So technically I have 11 weeks to go, or 77 days. That whole thought makes me want to barf and shout for joy all in the same breath. I'm so totally not ready for them to be out but can't wait to be done with being pregnant. Mark and I have been married for 116 months (almost 10 years.) By the end of this pregnancy, I will have been pregnant for 45 of those months. 30 more of those months I've spent nursing. Pretty crazy if you ask me. Once the twins are born, I will have been pregnant 18 months out of 25. That's just insane. Of course, they've all been worth it and I would never send any of them back. I'm just ready to be done--having babies that is. Of course, as soon as they come out I'll be trying to figure out how to fit them back inside, even if it's just for a day or two.
