Oh my gosh, you're getting so close! I'm so excited for you!
And how are YOU and the little dudes doing?!
We're doing pretty well! It helps that H and I have switched to splitting the night in two - he's on kid duty from 7 to midnight while I sleep and then he sleeps from midnight until he has to get up at 5am for work. He just went back to work yesterday so we'll see if that schedule holds up.
And I can't believe the boys are 1 month already. Gratuitous cute picture below.
trafficgirl, your boys are adorable! I can't believe it has already been a month! I'm glad to hear that you've worked out a schedule so that you can both get some rest.
Things are good here. We're buying a minivan today (eek) and my MIL arrives this evening to help out until and after the babies arrive.
I spent most of last night in the bathtub with contractions, and I was starting to think that we would have twins with the full moon, but nope. Things subsided. As uncomfortable as I'm becoming, I'd be happy if they would give us another week or two. But no more.

julez - sounds like you're doing pretty well, and getting very very close! What kind of minivan are you guys getting?
@tambcat - 6 hour stretches of sleep sound amazing. I hope the boys are doing that by the time I go back to work! I think at that point I could handle doing a night on/night off schedule. Right now, there's no way.
mekiakoo - I'm doing pretty well. Tired, but that's to be expected. You're also getting really close - I can't wait to see pics of your little one!
YAAYYYY so close! I agree, I think for twins in most cases 38wks is a great balance between good gestation time and "omfg get these babies out of me" time for mama. The boys were 37wks, I was 35 when I first started having contractions. This is awesome! You're hoping for as natural a birth as possible right? Are the kids being compliant with that?
I'm good! The boys are amazing. Our big issue now is keeping their damn mittens on!!! I'm just chugging through this week and I'm in fuck-it mode. I was asked to buy my own thank you/goodbye card, on top of throwing my own going-away party last week, so seriously. Fuck. It. It's kind of freeing. I was accidentally late today b/c I left my phone in my coat (it's where my alarms are) and I panicked for a second and said "Fuck it" lol.
