Week 35 and 3 weeks to go

So the last week and a half have been very emotionally eventful.  Not too mcuh going on with physical changes, besides a little more swelling if I am on my feet too long, but that is to be expected and actually should have happened weeks ago, so I cant complain.
Last week we went to the multiples specialist and said the twins are growing great. They are actually on track to grow at the same rate of a single pregnancy which is rare, but a great thing.  so at 34 weeks Caysen weighed 5lbs and Price weighed 5lbs 2 oz.  The only thing I didn't like to hear from our multiples specialist is he predicts I wont make it to Jan. 19th he thinks I will go a week early, which is still full term but its also the same wekk/day my regular Dr. orginally tried to schedule our C-section, but I wanted it to be later, so he moved it back as far as he felt semi comfortable with.  So even if I do go early like they predict I am ok with it-to a point, but me being stubborn I set a date and I want to make it to that date.  So I plan on using this weekend to finalize everything and the next two weeks, take bedrest really seriously and just lay around all day and week.
This week we went to our regular doctor, and they are still doing very well. They are starting to not like me laying on my back, even though to me that feels the best, because thats when I dont feel all the weight. But the reason the Dr said that is because their heart rates were a little higher 128 and 126, which isn't high but typically they are in the 110's because they cant move much. So that was interesting.  I have to admit I was al ittle bummed because every two weeks we take a blank DVD in for him to record the ultrasound, and he forgot to record it, but its not that bad, because its getting to a point now that you cant really see what anything is.  You can just mainly see their heads and get their heart rates.
So this next week I go back to the Dr. but I also have what they call, I believe, a bio physical exam.  Basically what they tell me this is, is they look at 8 different things from breathing of the babies, to amount of amniotic fluid, etc. and ideally I would get an 8 out of 8. So I have that on Wednesday and right after that I go to the Dr to go over the results.  I have a feeling what this basically is going to do is give them a better idea of if I can make it to the 19th or not, so I am crossing my fingers!!
Hopefully at the end of this weekend I will be able to put up pictures of the completed nursery, or atleast to my liking.  We still have the swing and everything that goes in different places in the house in the nursery so instead of looking like a nursery it looks more like a storage facility. But again hopefully its done by the end of the weekend... we will see.
