The crazy pregnant hair usually disappears by 6 months postpartum. I'm really not looking forward to all my hair falling out. It's never looked better, ever ever ever, and I'm so in love with it! (yay for vanity?)

Glad Erin's so happy. :) I think I really annoyed her (and Fi and Debbie, too) but she was too polite to say so. I can have such a know-it-all aura that really puts people off. And it's not an ego thing; I just want people to be as informed as possible about stuff. All stuff. Everything! (yeah, it's a little out of control at times *grins*)

The little ones are just fine. They seem to have mostly settled into a head-down position (vertex), but still turn between facing forward and facing backward. Here's hoping they'll be facing my back and will stay that way when labour starts! (tends to make for a shorter labour)

I'm doing ok. I'm soooooo glad I took leave when I did! The following week was incredibly difficult, but now the difficult days are random and I'm not miserable or anything like that. There've been times when I wasn't sure I'd make it to term and now I believe it's totally possible. Definitely happymaking.

Once I get to this time next week, I can coast and feel free with the knowledge that whenever labour starts, it'll likely be just fine. I'm hoping to make it to mid-July, but making it to 36 weeks with twins isn't too bad (in theory!). I'm shooting for sometime between July 14th and July 24th, but it's the babies who initiate labour, so it's really up to them to decide when they're done cooking.
