7:17am
\nI can hardly believe it, but Brenda has made it to week 37. My original guess was that she would have them at the beginning of week 36.<\/p>\n
She was very uncomfortable last night and had a hard time falling asleep. She had some new pains too but insisted that they were not contraction related. I slept on the couch because it\u2019s been hard to get a good nights sleep with her. She\u2019s always moving and turning and groaning and snoring these days.<\/p>\n
Based on average growth rates, it\u2019s possible that they are not only over 7 lbs. each, but they might be close to 8 lbs. So even if she goes a few more days, they could be some really big babies (for twins anyway).<\/p>\n
I feel like today could be the day.\u00a0 But I\u2019ve been wrong before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
