Oh Heavens , even carrying twins (and with a very short torso

I might add) at 37 weeks, my kiddos were still kicking and wiggling.

Our son even had room to turn head down the night before delivery.

Both kids were a pretty decent size at birth.

Our little babies are pretty darn flexible and most still have

plenty of time to move and turn at 35 weeks.

HAHAHA...'Fork Lift' I'll have to remember that description. I

usually refer to myself as 'Mack Truck' or 'Jabba the Hut' when

talking about my pregnancy with my son.

These responses make me feel better...thanks!

Just yesterday, while lunching with my sis-n-law, the waitress

retrieved our plates and commented, " Boy...you're expecting and THIS

is all you ate? You best get some major meals for Christmas and

Thanksgiving! "

I told her that he would be here BEFORE Thanksgiving...but that

everything seemed fine with tests and ultrasounds.

Then she acted like someone walked over her grave when I told her how

far along I was. She said that she assumed I was somewhere between 6-

7 mths. Ugh!!!
