Pregnancy Progress ~ Week 27

Had another Dr. appointment today at 27 weeks. I am officially in my 3rd trimester. They did my 1 hour glucose test and a sono of the babies to see how they were doing. All is looking well! Both babies are measuring about two and a half pounds, which is average for a single baby pregnancy. My uterus is at about 34 cm which is normal for a twin pregnancy. Best part is my cervix is still nice and long which indicates (at least right now) that I won't be having pre-term labor any time soon. Other than exercise I still have no restrictions on activity (YEAH). My Dr. always seems surprised by that. Weight is still looking good, though I have reached my pre-pregnancy weight. :( So, my weight gain to this point is technically zero. I know, I shouldn't complain. I am 7 months pregnant with twins, what should I expect. I guess I was just spoiled with Andrew ;) She did say that, unless I go into labor on my own before the 39th week she will schedule my C-section for that week. That makes it July 8th. Baby B which is the boy is still completely horizontal, with his head under my right ribs and she is presenting butt first and her head is over by my left hip. She is facing up and he is facing down, sort of Yin Yang style. It was so great to see them move and know all is going well so far. I go in 2 weeks for my steroid shots and then I will continue to see the Dr. every 2 weeks.
Here a some pictures of my sono pictures. Not the best, but all I got. I hope you all can tell what is what.
