Baby4 us,
  I probably won't know gender for another 5 weeks or so.  It makes it difficult and that is only if they both cooperate. LOL
  My DH chose the nursery theme, that was what he had as a baby so wants ours to have the same.  I have done it 4 times before and chose everytime so I am letting him choose as much as he wants to. It is pretty rare to have a dh be so involved as to want to pick nursery themes.  The walls in our room are a sky blue, he wants to paint the trim ivory, and we are getting cherry furniture.  If one is a girl on her side I will just do a lot of pick accents. 
  You don't know the gender?  Did you want a suprise?  Hope you have a great day.

Take Care all,
Sylvia

Hello Everyone - I have been away from the board for some time now - it is nice to check back in and see how well everyone is doing!

As for me, I will be 34 weeks on Sunday.  Last u/s (3 weeks ago) showed the boys measuring in at 4 pounds and 4 pounds 3oz!  Hard to believe - but I do feel 'heavy' (figure that's about 10 pounds of baby and 'stuff' in there I am carrying around).

Dr. Took me out of work at week 29 just to be cautious and try to prevent premature labor.  My only issues are back pain if I am up too long or try to do to much and terrible reflux!  After I eat, it feels like the babies are kicking the food right back into my throat! (nice thought, huh?).

So, I sit at home and wait for any signs of labor.  I am excited, but trying not to think too much about exactly HOW they are going to get out of my belly and into this world.  Hopefully, rather painlessly and quickly!

I am experiencing some lower abdominal cramping.  Doc says this is normal.  I think my uterus is just so big it actually hurts!

Anyway, nice catching up with everyone - good luck!

Hey Sussie88....good to hear good news.  I am only 11 weeks with twins and it has already been quite an experience.  I will be glad to know what the genders of my babies are.  I know what you mean about wondering how they are going to get out of you....been thinking along those lines myself. 
  Take care  and gets lots of rest.

lol 

I was just reading about the worries about how the baby is going to get out of you!!  I love it!  This is my second, and I know some of the others of you have other children too, but even though I have done this before, I am concerned about how that is going to happen this time.  You just forget about it.  I mean, I know how it happened and it wasn't that horrid of a deal, but it is hard to believe.  I can only imagine what those of you with twins are thinking, I guess it is the same though.  They are coming out one of two ways!  Crazy!

I go to the Doc tomorrow for my routine exam.  I can't wait to see what position they are in now.  They keep flip flopping around - although I don't know how they are doing it, they have to be running out of room in there! 

As far as delivery - I made it clear to the Doc that I do not want to go BOTH ways.  One way or the other!  So, if there is any inkling that one baby won't be turned the correct way for a natural delivery - then take them both.  I don't really want to be cut open, but I also don't want to be sore in two areas and labor for hours to deliver one and c-sec the other.

Well, the good news about having twins is I'll walk out of there with 2 babies - so if it is bad, no pressure to have another
