30 Weeks!

I've made it to 30 weeks!  I can't believe it!  I've been so scared of going into preterm labor and am still a little nervous about everything, but I've made it to a point where I feel comfortable that if I were to go into labor then they have a great chance at survival.  I had an appointment yesterday and baby A is measuring 3 lbs 8 oz and B is 3 lbs 1 oz.  I can't believe I have 6 1/2 lbs of baby in me already!  Well, I can believe it....I feel every ounce of it in my pelvis and hips, but it still seems very surreal.  My cervix is over a 4, which is great!  That isn't exactly an indicator that I won't go into preterm labor anytime soon, but it is a good place to be, considering most doctors like to see it at a 2.5 at least.  So we are hoping they can hang in there at least another 5-7 weeks!  Hopefully not ANY longer!  I was under the impression that I would have a c-section or be induced at 37 weeks and yesterday I found out that if I want to try for a vaginal delivery, then we will be leaving them in there until I go into labor on my own.  So all this time I've been worrying about preterm delivery and now, knowing my luck, I will be the freak that makes it to 40 weeks with twins.  :/

Last week, we finally decided to get out and take a stab at our own maternity photos with the help of Alex's dad.  It's not easy doing your own photo shoot!  I kind of wish we would have hired someone to take them, but I never like pictures of me anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.  Here's a peek at some of the images:

We also had a small baby shower this past weekend and it was a couple's shower.  It was so nice to celebrate with our family and friends.  But now, I have realized that it is getting down to the wire and we have lots of shopping to do!  Yikes!!  We did get the cribs together recently and seeing two cribs in the nursery is slightly overwhelming!   I am still very anxious and excited to meet these sweet little boys very soon (but not TOO soon....or TOO long!)
