Crossing my fingers

Last December, I met Kevin's relative who's preggo with twins during a wedding social. She just got back from mat leave when voila, she learned she's carrying twins. I remember talking to her at length since we both cant have booze. At that time, she's on her 20th week and will be having twin girls too.

I haven't heard from her since then. But just the other day, mum in law phoned me saying she went into labour and gave birth 4 months early! The babies are lil over 2 lbs and will be staying in the NICU till April.  Maaaan, I was agaped but at the same time I felt so lucky to make it to 35 weeks. For mummies carrying twins, majoirity will go into labour before their full-term. What with two babies inside the belly, there's not so much room for them to move! My OB was even surprised that I was still working at 35 weeks.

So last Friday, I filed for mat leave. I am on my 36th week gestation. If I get lucky, next week my babies are in full-term. I'm hoping and praying they will stay longer. Just one more week. Even if getting a good night's sleep is next to impossible.

my linea negra looks like a prime meridian.lol

34 weeks and pregnant

I am on my 34 gestation weeks. Last time I visit my OB, she said if babies will still be breech, we will schedule a c-section! Since I am having a mono-di twins-- that is they are monozygotic, share the same placenta but with two amniotic sacs, I could go into labour anytime. Now, every kick and pain I feel, it will render me with fear that the girls might be here. I have been praying night and day to get me through 37 weeks. I want my girls to be fully "baked" before they will come out. And I am so determined to make it happen that I am drinking tons of water every fraking minute.

This drove me into a frenzy to prepare everything. Inasmuchas I want the girls' clothes in their pristine condition, I have to wash them before they are here. I haven't packed my hospital bag yet. Oh good Lord, please give me two more weeks ;)

Never thought I've accumulated these stuff.
