23 week

How far along? 23 weeks 

Total weight gain: 12 lbs.  (Pre-pregnancy weight 136lbs, lost 3 lbs in the beginning.)

Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way! Baby boy really doesn't like where my maternity jeans hit on my belly, so I am mostly in sweats unless I’m going out of the house.

Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: What is sleep these days? I have been sleeping on the couch the past few nights because it’s the only place that is remotely comfortable. I am still waking up every 2-3 hours. I've just decided that this is only going to get worse.

Best moment this week: Getting to see my sweet babes at my Dr appt

Worst moment this week:  I found out that Baby girl to putting so much pressure on my right side of my ribs that it’s popping the back part of my ribs out of place. Luckily a tennis ball usually gives me a little bit of relief.

Miss Anything?  My Dr said I need to quit any unnecessary activity from here on out.  Good thing I am too exhausted to do much of anything these days anyway. I am just grateful that everything had been going so well with these two munchkins so far.

Movement: They are definitely getting stronger. I am able to feel some harder kicks these days.

Food cravings: Still don’t have much of an appetite. If I find something that actually tastes good, I gobble it down.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I still have a hard time eating anything I’ve cooked. Other than that, I don’t have much else that bothers me.

Gender: Boy and Girl! Little boy is down low and my little girl is stuck up in my ribs.

Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms:  I have started getting a little bit of heart burn. Luckily tums does the trick for now. I am also noticing that I am starting to have a harder time breathing comfortably if I am lying flat.

Belly Button in or out? In for now

Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am happy the majority of the time. Since I’m having a harder time sleeping, I feel a lot more emotional now.

 Looking forward to: Christmas! I can’t wait to have my family come for a few weeks.

22 wks

How far along? 22 Weeks 

Total weight gain: 11 lbs.  (Pre-pregnancy weight 136lbs, lost 3 lbs.)

Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way! Baby A really doesn’t like where my maternity jeans hit on my belly, so I am mostly in sweats unless I’m going out of the house.

Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: This week I have been having a harder time sleeping. I usually wake up around 2-3 and move down to the couch. I am also having a harder time laying flat to sleep.

Best moment this week: Adam was able to feel Baby B for the first time. Both babies were going crazy!

Worst moment this week:  I’m starting to get some mild back pain in between my shoulder blades. I’m not sure if I just pulled something, but I hope it gets better rather than worse.

Miss Anything?  I am starting to have a harder time picking things up off the floor, or doing much of anything without huffing and puffing. I am starting to feel like a bit of a whale.

Movement: These babies definitely let you know if you’re infringing upon their space.

Food cravings: Still don’t have much of an appetite. If I find something that actually tastes good, I gobble it down.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I still have a hard time eating anything I’ve cooked. Other than that, I don’t have much else that bothers me.

Gender: Boy and Girl! Little boy is down low and my little girl is stuck up in my ribs.

Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms:  I have started getting a little bit of heart burn. Luckily tums does the trick for now. I am also noticing that I am starting to have a harder time breathing comfortably if I am lying flat.

Belly Button in or out? In, it looks like it’s on its way out.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say I’m happy most of the time. I do get grouchy if I am tired or hungry though.

Looking forward to: My Dr. appointment this coming Tuesday.

21 weeks



I am too impatient to wait for someone else to take a better "bump" pic

How far along? 21 Weeks 

Total weight gain: 10 lbs.  (Pre-pregnancy weight 136lbs, lost 3 lbs.)

Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way! Old Navy leggings are my best friend. Don’t be surprised if you come to visit me and that’s what I have on.

Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: I am sleeping much better these days. I still go to bed around 8 pm and probably will until these babies come. Best moment this week: I am a little behind on blogging since last week was Thanksgiving.  We had our formal u/s a few days before Thanksgiving so I was able to see them for a whole 2 hours. This is the first time Adam has seen them since they were 11 wks. Everything looked great on both of them, which is such a relief!

Worst moment this week:  It would definitely be having the stomach flu. Oh my… this was worse than anything I’ve experienced before. Yuck. I also had to have a root canal and a crown. Talk about a bad week. I’m hoping things are on the mend, but I have a feeling I’m getting a cold now. Oh well.

Miss Anything?  I am starting to have a harder time picking things up off the floor, or doing much of anything without huffing and puffing. I am starting to feel like a bit of a whale.

Movement: These babies definitely let you know if you’re infringing upon their space. If I move the wrong way or bend to pick something up, I will usually get a kick to remind me that they are still there.

Food cravings: Still don’t have much of an appetite. If I find something that actually tastes good, I gobble it down.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I still have a hard time eating anything I've cooked. Other than that, I don’t have much else that bothers me.

Gender: Boy and Girl! Little boy is down low and my little girl is stuck up in my ribs.

Labor Signs: Nope. I did have a little scare a week ago with some cramping. Apparently I can’t clean the house in one day without paying for it severely the next day.
Symptoms:  I have started getting a little bit of heart burn. Luckily tums does the trick for now. I am also noticing that I am starting to have a harder time breathing comfortably if I am lying flat.

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say I’m happy most of the time. I do get grouchy if I am tired or hungry though.

Looking forward to: Getting everything prepared for these little ones. I can’t wait to get their room put together!

On a non baby note, my whole family was able to come and spend almost a week during Thanksgiving. We always have so much fun together. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews. They always crack me up. I can;t wait until they come back for Christmas!
