Merry Christmas! I was 33 weeks on Tuesday (12/16/2008). January 28 (scheduled delivery date) seems like such a long time away, but I am doubtful that we make it that far. The past week or so has been much harder than before. I am having more difficulty breathing and my feet are swelling. Overall, I am still doing well but I am definitely slowing down. I am working Friday, Monday, and Tuesday after which I will be off until January 2. I am definitely looking forward to having a few days off to rest and relax. The girls, Tommy, and I went back to the doctor today. We received a good report. The ultrasound technican estimated that Twin A is 4 lbs, 12 ounces and Twin B is 5 lbs, 2 ounces. The little girls are getting big! Twin B is breech. I think the girls find this amusing because it allows Twin A to push her butt and feet into my rib cage and lungs while Twin B is pushing with her head. I am now going to the doctor weekly. Since the next 2 weeks have holidays in them, I go back to the doctor on 12/22 and then again on 12/30. Below are 3D the pictures of the girls taken today.

Twin A - estimated 4lbs, 12 oz - still not sure if she is Mary Roberts or Elizabeth Hayes

Twin B - estimated 5 lbs, 2 oz - not in the mood to get her picture taken as we could not get her to look at the camera!
