36 1/2 weeks...I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

We went to the Dr. yesterday for my last soniogram. Dustin got to go with me since he flew out in the late afternoon to Atlanta and had most of the day off. Here's the real shocker - Baby A is 6lb. 9oz. and Baby B is 5lb. 15oz.!!!!! Can you believe that they've gained 2 1/2 and 2 lbs. in the last 4 weeks and that I'm carrying 12 1/2 lbs. of BABY?!?!?! AAHHH! Geez...by the time they deliver they could each easily be 7 - 8lb. - that's more than Abby was! They are both head down which is a blessing because I'm still praying that I don't have to have a c-section. I'm still only dilated 1cm and Dr. Jacob's is going to induce on the 16th if they don't come before that. I am so ready to not be pregnant but it's still not sinking in that we will have 2 more babies in 12 days or less. Dustin comes home tomorrow night and Mom flies back in on Monday so as long as I make it until then I'll be happy. I am so thankful that they are getting big though - that way we have some room in case they drop a bit from their birth weight. That was my biggest concern not being able to bring them home when we came home. I am continuing to pray (and ask for your prayers as well) for good health for all of us and a safe (painless & speedy - hey I can always pray) labor/delivery. My next appt. is this next Tuesday and then no more after that - can't believe the time is already here.
