Hey Tony,

The swelling is normal at this stage. Think of the baby weights she's carrying around not to mention the byproducts of pregnancy, placentas, waters, etc. When she lies down at night the body uses up the water and everything generally goes back to normal.
I have the same thing some days when I have been on my feet all day.

My boys are like yours too. They move loads one minute and the next are so quiet. Serious lack of room I suspect. My obgyn says it's normal and I get checked once a week anyway at the hospital. My boys have drained me so much that I now have thin blood and I have to be watched like a hawk. If I don't go into labour by next Wednesday naturally, I will probably be induced because they are so big and I have such a small build. I've put no weight on other than baby this pregnancy and I certainly don't have child bearing hips so I'm sure it's going to be some experience for me this week. Can't wait...

Send my love to Maria and all the best with the birth.

Congrats and holding on for 37 weeks with twins..That is great...
Swelling is completly normal and a pain in the butt.....Mine swell like crazy in the day...I try to keep them up as much as possible but that is not always easy.
Its hard to find any comfort these days...Its hard to do just about anything. rest and relax...This will only be for a short period longer.
Best of luck........

Tony,
Man your wife has been a trooper!
I read that the babies develop sleep patterns by now so I bet that is when she doesn't feel them moving around.
I bet she is ready to see their sweet faces...and so are you!
Take care of your DW and I'll be praying for a healthy delivery soon!!
Big Hugs,
Allison
