So some people are speculating on the weight of the babies. The sonographer estimates they will both weigh around 7 1/2 lbs each. Kim feels like they could be close to 8 lbs each. It's all a guessing game. Mom, who has 'been there, done that', thinks that they will be 8 lbs and 8lbs 6 oz. Now for a comparison, when we were born, Kim weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and I weighed 6 lbs 5 oz.
Kim and I found it interesting, and another time waster on bedrest, to research and compare her healthy full term twins weight total to the Octomom's very early 8 babies. You should know that with all the info out there on this crazy woman, it was really hard to find an actual news article that listed this information. Dr. Phil came through for us. As many of you (especially facebook friends) are aware, Kim went on complete bedrest right around the time these babies were born. Hard to make fun when I'm considering these tiny preemie babies but lets move on from them and focus on the mother--this insane woman has given Kim uncountable hours of amusement! From the first news reports that quickly transitioned into questionable ethic and moral issues to the first interview to all that have followed, she hasn't missed (I'm sure she's horrified to admit) a minute of it. Right up to last night's Dr. Phil interview that her afternoon was centered around watching! Crazy Nayda has carried her through bedrest and not only amused her but made her feel like her growing belly didn't look that bad! So the 8 babies weighed 19 lbs 8 oz total. For 8 babies, that is not a whole lot. Many have seen her crazy belly pictures and she did have 6 sacs (Kim has 2 since her twins are fraternal) so she was certainly bigger than Kim but I don't think Kim is too far behind her! Kim's babies will not be close to 20 lbs (My, they better not be!!) but they could be 14-16 total, easily! We will know in less than 24 hours!
I don't think blogs are fun without pictures, so I will leave you with some final Octomom humor. Being on bedrest makes you feel a bit insane so watching the 'play by play' of this actual insaneness happening during this time will forever be a memory of Kim's pregnancy!

To be fair, since she is not too amused with her swollen self, I thought I'd show you a picture of her shortly before this amazing twin pregnancy began! Here she is this past June, right before she got pregnant! I love that this fabulous picture is one of the last pictures of Kim and her only princess at the time, Kate. Now there will be three princesses! We would never have imagined this would be happening 10 months later . . . .
In order to really grasp the size of the belly, do consider the proportion of it to her chest. Yes, that brings this a bit into light doesn't it--her belly is HUGE! Now, in the year of the Octomom, she's totally tiny but otherwise, WOW!
This one shows her mood a bit. She's D.O.N.E.!!!!!!! Based on how much the twins are moving, I think they are too!
Wednesday at noon is when Kim and Eric will finally meet their twins. Kate and Derrick are really looking forward to the arrival and Derrick even said last week, "this is worse than waiting for Christmas". Pretty sweet, right?
