35 Weeks pregnant with twins

My twin boys were born on October 17, 2007. I know scary after looking at this picture that I actually carried the boys another 2.5 weeks. When I was 24 weeks along my uterus was measuring the same size as a mother who is 9 months pregnant with a single baby. My boys were born naturally 11 minutes apart. I was actually induced at 37.5 weeks because I began to have liver problems. The doctors would not induce before because the ultrasound was showing that the boys were weighing 4 and 5 pounds respectively. To the surprise of all the medical staff, the boys arrived at a whopping 7 lbs 4 oz and 6lbs 8 oz. We spent one week in the hospital and all returned home in good health!! Oh I gained 69 pounds!!
