Hello. Everyone as of today I am 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant! My stomach is looking very huge besides the fact that I am carrying twins and I am only 5 feet tall. As some of you may know, not all twins are carried to term, the average timing is around 34-38 weeks. With identical twins the risk is higher so they are usually delivered at 36 weeks. With that being said I already have a schedule date for my c-section ( yes, a section is what they recommend with identical twins). Besides I don't think I would want to push two giant heads out. So I am schedule for my c-section April 15 (two days after my 22nd birthday) at 9:00a.m. This means I have to arrive at the hospital at 7:00a.m. Am I nervous? You bet I am. I don't even know if I will make it another 3 weeks, I am so over being pregnant. Being that I supposedly have 3 more weeks until these babies (by the way their names are Kylie and Alani) come, I am almost done packing my hospital bag. So I would like to share with you future mommies and any one who is interested the things I have packed so far.
Guess Baby Bag (I got as a gift and it's pretty big, so I decided to use it as my hospital bag and use another as my baby bag, which I haven't packed yet.)
Items pictured
- Camera and Camera Charger (To take many pictures of your newborn/s, visitors etc.
- Two toothbrushes for DH & I
- Toothpaste (even though the hospital may provide)
- Palmer's Cocoa Butter for stretch marks
- Ameda comfort lag cream for sore nipples (for those who are breastfeeding, I tried it once and it's works very well. Plus its safe for mom and baby) purchased at Babies R Us, you could probably find it cheaper somewhere else. paid $15.99 for a tube and a bonus tube.
- Lansinoh nursing pads 36 ct. Purchased at Babies R Us paid $7.99 and got breast milk storage bags for half off.
- Overnight Maxi Pads ( I almost forgot what those feel like. :-/ )(Hospital provides them but I rather bring my own.)
- New Mommy Journal by Mead ( I actually been searching all over for this. I came across it ( unfortunately just one) in the clearance section retails at $9.00 purchased it for $4.50!!, boy was I happy!)(My all time favorite find, will make a post about this journal.)
- Make up Bag Yes Yes make up bag, I will be having lots of visitors at the hospital plus I'm sure visitors will try to sneakily take a picture of the New mommy with the twins!
- Comfy Slippers
- Black sweats Gray Sweats, Tank Top ( I don't think they will hurt my scar!)
