I have had weekly appointments and ultrasounds since my 24th week of pregnancy, but this week we gained a lot more information.
Interesting facts:
1. We officially have a date set up... July 31st (3 weeks from TODAY)!
2. Baby A is still breech and Baby B is still vertex. At this point, there's pretty much no way Baby A will move head down, and since he's closest to my cervix, the babies will definitely be delivered by C-section.
3. Baby A weighs 3lb12oz and Baby B weighs 3lb8oz. They are both very small, even for twins. But let's give them a break, I can't expect them to be 7-8lb babies when I was born weighing 5lb8oz on my due date.
4. There are still issues with Baby B's blood flow, which is the reason why my OB/GYN decided to deliver them at 36 weeks. He believes that they will actually grow and develop better outside my uterus than inside.
5. The chances that the babies will have to go into the NICU are slim. If they spend any time in there, it should only be for a few days. They both have been practicing their breathing and their lungs should be close to fully developed by the time they are delivered.
Fun facts:
1. The babies have had hiccups. It's pretty fun to watch on the ultrasound.
2. Baby A likes to kick hard and Baby B likes to move around a lot.
3. Baby A likes to punch and kick Baby B while Baby B likes to snuggle with Baby A.
4. Baby A likes to cover up his face during ultrasounds and Baby B likes to goof around.
5. They both like to show that they're definitely BOYS.

Yea for making it to 36 weeks. That is awesome. They will be small but oh so precious. I wish I was going to be there to hold them. I will expect pictures!
Like Megan said, YAY! for making it to 36 weeks. And YAY! for not having to go longer than 36 weeks! :) I've caught myself wishing that our little one would come early--but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Yay nathalie! I am so excited for you. Come on babies, grow a little more. You can do it!
