Sorry it's been so long since my last post! I've fallen off the wagon I guess!
To catch up... quickly, we had a great Christmas - nothing major - our normal visit with families, Santa, presents and food. I managed to keep my weight gain in check during the holidays. I've only gained 2 lbs since my November appointment. The babies growing at the normal rate so the dr.s have no concerns there.
New Years was uneventful - we don't normally do much to celebrate the new year anyway. Once the girls get older we might start some traditions but for now it's much easier to just put them to bed (and Mommy too!!)
We've made it to 36 weeks of pregnancy. As of Friday 1-9, I was already 2 cm dilated. As of tonight, I'm starting to really feel like labor is starting, however it may be a very slow process. I keep thinking I might be hitting the panic button, and nothing could develop for days, but based on how I feel right now, I would bet something could start in the next day or two (if not sooner). Look out Owen, you might be sharing your birthday! It's a bit early for the baby to be born now, but the dr's said they would not try to stop labor if it did happen now. They would probably administer a steroid to help the baby's lungs develop faster. They guess she's about 6 lbs now too - so her size will be ok.
Hopefully, you'll get a phone call announcing Baby Beaghan before I can post again!!!
I hope we're ready for this!!!

I'm sure you are ready! Hope everything goes well with your delivery. You are great parents and I have no doubt you will be able to handle it.
Everything kinda fizzled out overnight. I didn't go to work today just in case. But I was probably fooled with some false labor symptoms yesterday!! However, I'm hoping things will pick up during the next few days. I'm still shooting for the 19th of Jan, so that all 3 will have a birthday on the 19th. That would be funny!!
