Craig and I went to the doctor today. We didn't look at the babies so much as talk about a birth plan although we did do a quick check of their heartbeats.
The doctor reminded me that they consider 38 weeks to be full term for twins so they're not going to schedule a c-section or induce until then. Of course I could go into labor anytime between now and then. For some reason though I was thinking 36 weeks. I know Craig was rejoicing over the idea of the possibility of four more weeks to prepare (as if you can really prepare). Meanwhile I'm secretly telling them (the babies) 36 weeks if fine with me!
Since Baby B is still breech and not likely to change positions at this point the plan is to have a regular delivery and do a "breech extraction". Eek! Because of this the doctor told me that they strongly encourage an epidural. She was very apologetic about it as if I would dissapointed by this. Uhm, no. In fact even if Baby B was not breech I would be taking full advantage of the epidural. My biggest fear is not that I have to get an epidural but that for some reason I won't be able to get one.
Oh I almost forgot the best news of the day...she approved my disability! In fact she seemed surprised that I hadn't gone on disability earlier.

It's about freaking time that you are on disability! I don't know how you made it this far... can't wait for these babies to get here! I can't believe you are so close, I remember when you found out! :)
Lisa: We just LOVE your blog! You are SO funny! I read all of your postings to Marv, and we both agree you are a fantastic writer! What a wonderful gift this will be to give your girls when they are older. We both got "faklempt" when you said that listening to their heart beats was your favorite thing to do. i
