We are more than ready now – 36weeks in is really good with twins and in only one week they are fully ready to meet the world. Baby A was 2475g (10merkur) & Baby B was 2890g (12merkur) at our 35week sonar, so they are big and healthy. Baby B is in position in the pelvis and our birth doctor think that they will come within a week, so our hospital bag needs to be packed and ready.
