At 33 weeks, I've outgrown all but three pants and about four shirts. When you think you can't possibly get any bigger, my babies continue to grow and my belly expands right along with them.
I went to the doctor yesterday and was told that I'm already 50% effaced and 1 cm dialated. I guess there's no going back now - but we're ready! I'm hoping to hold out for at least another 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. I've not been assigned to bed rest, but I'm definitely taking it easy.
Our bag is packed for the hospital and so now it's just a matter of time! I can't believe we'll soon be holding our sweet baby girls!

Current Events
Currently at the Keller household, Andy and I are frantically preparing for our baby girls to arrive. The nursery is close to complete and I am almost organized enough that I don't lay awake at night thinking about everything that needs to be done - no, now I just lay awake.
Sleeping is a major challenge and I can't seem to eat anything that by body agrees with. These girls are worth every bit of discomfort - but I'm ready now to transition from incubator to feeding factory.
At my 31 week appointment, the babies were doing great! They are measuring ahead (by two weeks - which is very good for twins) and weigh close to 5lbs each. They are both head down, which is a huge answer to prayer! As you can see from the ultrasound pics, they have beautiful profiles and look as though they will instantly sleep 5hr stretches at night after birth (hey a new mommy can dream, right?).
