You all look fantastic! I keep forgetting to take a pics of the belly, I need to soon though.

As for shooting pains, I have them occasionally in the groin/labia area. My understanding it that it is likely round ligament pain (apparently the round ligament extends all the way down to the labia), so not to be too worried. I am sure that you can feel that pain in the rectal area as well since it is all very interconnected.

I hope you all have wonderful showers - they are so much fun and it is great to start getting all that baby stuff! We haven't done anything to the babies' room yet as it is currently our home office, but we are finishing the basement and moving the office down there, but thanks to the SLOW contractors, nothing has been happening. So we have unassembled cribs and bedding etc sitting in our hallway along with a toilet, shower, tile etc for the new bathroom. It's hard to walk around. Hopefully it will all be done before babies gets here. I am so envious of all your productivity! Scrapbooking, I would love to do that! But I don't...

Had an US today - babies look good. The boy is 2 lbs 3 oz and girl is 2 lbs 7 oz (and breeech). Otherwise all looked well. Cervix still shortening, now 3.2cm although they say it is normal to shorten at this stage.
