Induction scheduled.....
I am beyond flabbergasted that I've made it this far even!
At my OB appt today, she officially scheduled my induction date for 1/24 (38 weeks 1 day) since that is considered term for twins and the placenta stops supporting them as much as they need. My perinatologist recommended it too.
Very nervous, and feeling like a ticking time bomb. I'm REALLY hoping to not need the induction but hope to still make it into next week.
I'm also scared about my water breaking if I am alone during the day while DH is at work. I'm not sure if I should wait for him to come pick me up if that happens or call an ambulance (it just seems excessive to do that). However, I am already 2-3cm dilated, 90% effaced, and the OB commented that Baby A is extremely far down ("like she is going to fall out"). I'm nervous that even with a first pregnancy/delivery, I could go quickly.....
In my ideal world, my water would break sometime when DH is home.....we have a 20-30 minute drive to the hospital. The worst part if I have to call an ambulance is they won't take me to "my" hospital since it definitely isn't the closest one to us. (My OB doesn't have any rights at any of the other hospitals.)
Anyways, hard to believe I'll be meeting these girls soon!!! 
Very excited!

That's great that you've made it this far!
FWIW, my labor started with my water breaking both times, and it happened around 1am both times when I woke up to pee (once conveniently on the toilet, one in bed)
Way to go - it's so great. And it's not common to be able to take twins to full term, right?
Oh and like Schoolsout, I too started both my labors with my water breaking first...both in the middle of the night (closer to 3am for me) and while I was sleeping. From what I was told by my midwives, your pregnancy hormones surge at night so it is pretty common to have your water break in the wee hours of the morning. Oh and even with my second, it was still a 5+ hour labor, so I wouldn't worry about DH coming home in time to help you get to the hospital, but a backup friend or Nestie who could bring you to the hospital to meet DH is not a bad idea either.
Yay for twins at almost 37 weeks already!
