@twodoghouse: Yup, they plan to induce at 34 weeks (Sept 4). So I'm thinking that they'll be born Sept 6th at the latest?
DH seems to be doing well at home. He might be the one who is more of a clean freak than I am. So I know the house isn't in shambles or anything. He's working hard on getting the nursery and new guest room ready. The Doula is coming to our house early next week to see our house and to suggest layout and talk about baby stuff.
I do think DH is struggling with remembering to eat. I was mostly the one who was on top of making sure to buy things when they run out and regularly went to the grocery store. He is also trying to lose weight so some of his meals are bare boned. Otherwise, I think he is doing good considering I'm stuck here.

Thank you everyone! So happy to get to 32 weeks
@T.H.O.U.: I need to write out my birth plan. It has like 5 things on it. Need to give it to my doula and my OB. There's other things on my to do list but aren't crucial.

Well, I'm leaking much more fluid now so I wonder what this means. My nurse and Dr knows. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if and when the laboring contractions will start. Now, I'm a little nervous. I'm still feeling the babies move so just waiting I guess.

@bluestriped bee: Congrats on 32 weeks! When I saw a high risk ob that was the # she said where everything should be fine. So a very big YAY for that. Sorry to hear you're leaking more fluid but you have been doing great. Will continue thinking of you and your los!

@bluestriped bee: Even 3 one-hour scans sound like a lot, but I guess you are in there for a reason! In my imagination all of the antepartum/bed rest ladies would be fabulous girlfriends by the time it's all over. Enjoy your luxurious, pre-babies zzzz's!

@bluestriped bee: Thinking of you. I hope you're doing okay. One thing is for sure, you are in the right place right now no matter what happens.

So I'm still doing fine. No contractions and still leaking more fluid than I have been. (Before it was trace amounts, now it's like getting my period. Not a ton but enough that I have to change my pad more often and now use the larger pads.) Dr doesn't seem concerned. Nurse told me that my dr said my body will know when to start labor. Monitored both babies this afternoon and both have good heartbeats and both are moving around. The U/s I had yesterday showed that both babies have low fluid but not anything to be concerned about. (Fluid level is at a 4 & 5.) DH and I have a running joke that the boy purposely poked a hole in his sisters sac. I told him today that our daughter got back at him and poked his sac. Haha! Both babies are head down.
So, so far I don't see any signs of labor yet. I'm still nervous that things might be coming up soon. DH is very worried. Told him that I don't have any painful contractions yet so the babies aren't coming today, at least.

@T.H.O.U.: Yup, still good. No contractions and still feeling babies move. Babies heart rates are still good. I'm still leaking fluid and it's still clear so everything looks good.

@bluestriped bee: I was thinking about you and your twins and wondering what kind of stroller you've chosen. Since I'm starting IVF soon, I'm always thinking about twins. Stroller selection sort of sucks for twins.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@agold: @littleredhairedgrl: @Crisark: @FancyGem: thank you! No changes. Still moderate leaking and the contractions have gone away. So good sign that I might make it to 33 week or beyond.
@agold: I registered for the contours option tandem stroller because it had good reviews and wasn't too expensive ($300-400). MIL gifted us that stroller. Then a week later, my brother said that he has the City select stroller that he has used for his 3 kids. He has the second seat and glide board and a bunch of other accessories. He said he wants to make room in his garage and would give it to us. (I think the stroller with just one seat is $300-400 start then all the accessories probably adds up to $700-800.) I was really leaning towards this stroller and now I have it. I feel bad returning MILs stroller but the reviews for the city select were so much better and the different options make it so versatile (sp? Autocorrect is going a bit bonkers today). Oh, the seat covers are kinda worn but I heard, I can call the manufacturer and I can buy new ones.
Oh, as for the infant stage, I got a used Joovy twin too stroller. It works with my Chicco car seats and snaps right in. There is the snap and go but I heard with the Chicco car seats they don't snap in and you have to use straps.

@bluestriped bee: Wow! A free double City Select! That's such a great offer I couldn't imagine passing up either.

@bluestriped bee: we love our city select for one and can't wait to add on the second seat for 2! our first seat is pretty worn, so once we get going with the whole set up, i might buy these liners to "refresh" the seats. there are a lot of cute colors and patterns to personalize! https://www.etsy.com/shop/bubbaandblue
