Countdown, Day 22: quick update
Well, we went to the OB yesterday. Nothing has changed too much! The babies and my body both seem ready to go, if only I could get regular and strong contractions--to this point, it's usually been one or the other (a regular pattern but not very painful, or painful but not in a regular pattern). They're probably between 6 and 6 1/2 pounds now, a lot of baby to be carrying!!
So, if nothing happens this week, she's going to induce me on Monday morning. We're all praying (and you can too!) that they'll decide to come on their own this week. My OB is great about not interfering and letting my body do things on its own, but it is getting time for them to come out!! She's going to take a very conservative approach to the induction, but still, it would be much better if these little babies would make up their minds to come on their own.
I keep on trying to remember the nickname the little boy was given in Life is Beautiful, translated "stubborn" in English. It sounded so cute in Italian, and would be a great nickname for these silly little twins! It can't be very comfortable in there at this point!!

Bake chocolate chip cookies. No one can resist coming over to the smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies!

I'm with earthgirl.
One other suggestion, which I'm sure you've heard before, is to drink castor oil (sp??). My sister did this and the child was out within 3 hours.
Maybe you get someone to make you laugh really hard???

thanks for the update. I was thinking about you yesterday and meant to call but the day came and went.

At this point, chocolate chip cookies sound much better than castor oil!!!

I've been praying for each of you, thinking of you over the weekend and particularly today, that how blessed these children are to have you both as their parents. I miss you all so very much and am grateful that you both put this blog together:)
I will be returning to check and see of any news of your new arrivals has been posted!!!! Anticipating greatly!!!!
Love,
Tami
