So, people are probably wondering how Kathy's doing. Kathy is now 36 weeks and one day pregnant, which is just short of what's considered "full term for twins". Basically, the babies will be coming sometime between now and around two weeks from now.

For those who are wondering, here's what a woman 36 weeks pregnant with twins looks like:


Looks uncomfortable, doesn't it? I'm told that it is, in fact, uncomfortable.

The problem with being in this big and uncomfortable stage is that there are two conflicting things going on:

• You're stuck inside all the time, so you start going stir-crazy with a desire to go out and get some fresh air.
• When you try to go out and get some of this fresh air, you get tired just walking to the corner so you immediately need to go back home and collapse on the bed for two hours to recover. Which means that:
• You're stuck inside all the time, bored to tears but too listless to do anything about it.
  

So, as far as Kathy's concerned, the babies can't come soon enough, if only to alleviate the boredom. Although I guess having newborn twins probably isn't a very good way to solve that whole "stuck inside all the time" problem. Oops -- maybe we need to rethink this.
