Thirty-six weeks with TWO!

I never made it to my thirty-six week appointment because the twins were born at thirty-five weeks and five days. We had been hoping to make it closer to thirty-seven weeks, but I was so uncomfortable that I wasn't necessarily disappointed when they arrived a bit earlier. I hadn't stopped working yet, but had started switching to 8 hour shifts rather than 12. My coworkers threw me a little baby shower the evening before I went into labor. Sleeping remained a bit elusive, which added to already being tired from pregnancy. I think the whole family was ready for these two to make their debut! I took the picture above a few hours before heading into the hospital to get checked for signs of labor just in case they ended up coming that day, which they did!
