Hospital Bag


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.)
