And the numbers..... Rachel is now 5 pounds and 12 ounces and her once bigger sister Anya is now 5 pounds and 8 ounces! Of course this is done via a machine with measurements and math and such, so who knows how accurate it is. But, yes both of my girls are over 5 1/2 pounds now. Which means I am carrying more than 11 pounds of babies in me and I am just fine, thank you! I think I could carry 14 if I had to. During the sonogram, Anya was wiggling around and you could see it from outside of my tummy, like in Alien or Aliens or whatever. It looks more like waves, than pushing to get out. So Rachel gained 2 pounds in 3 weeks!

We are now past the crazy scary tiny baby phase. Our babies would not even have to go to the NICU for being too small at this point. If I can keep them in there for a few more weeks, I might have 6 plus pound babies! Now I feel like I wanna compete in some growing babies show or something. "Can she get them to 7 pounds before she is induced!" What kind of a prize would I get on such a show?

Our doctor was very nice and happy. Whoohoo! He said we could induce at 37 or 38 weeks. I would really rather wait to 38 as I would like to just go into labor naturally rather than be induced, but we will see. These people, they want to manage everything! Oh, if you are wondering, twins are induced at 37 or 38 weeks because it is possible that the placenta could stop working under the strain, at least that is what I have read. There might be another reason, but I can't remember.

Tomorrow is our big move across the hall. Dude, I am going to have babies soon. How crazy is that? Super crazy. Nap time, now.
