Here is a picture of my belly at 34 weeks and 1 day.
I survived my 24 hour urine collection and fasting blood draw (it's so cruel to make a very pregnant woman fast for any amount of time). Went back to see my OB today and the urine and blood work look great. They don't have the evidence they need to diagnose preeclampsia, but the doctor is still concerned. My blood pressure was down today (128/80) so that is a big improvement. The babies heartbeats sound good at 151 and 152 bpm. My doctor wants me to repeat the 24 hour urine collection and blood work on Monday and see him Tuesday afternoon. He said he's planning on taking the babies as soon as it's safe for them which he said would be 37 weeks (July 14th!!!). So no date for sure yet, but a good idea. For now I am on strict, total bedrest with bathroom privileges. That's ok, that's all I feel like doing now that I am so big and probably have over 10lbs of baby in my tummy.

Hi Beth, Wow, you look great! I was bigger than you and I only had one baby. I gained 65 lbs on my first pregnancy.
