Week 23 Ultrasound

Today we went into the ultrasound specialists who will now be doing the girls' ultrasounds.  It was a very comprehensive ultrasound (almost 2 hours!), and we are pleased to say that we got all very good news! The girls are growing.  Baby A is approx. 1 lb 5 oz. and Baby B is approx. 1 lb 3 oz.  Baby A is in the 44 percentile (as compared to all other babies with the same due date) and Baby B is in the 37 percentile (again, compared to all other babies).  All major organs were checked, and everything looks good for both babies!  Here are two of the 3D pictures of the babies' faces today.

Baby A's Face (profile)-  Yep, her mouth is open!

Baby B's face (profile)- Her hand is covering her face, once again!  Surprise, Surprise!

Week 22.5

I'm a little late this week.  I got back from Ohio on Tuesday night and didn't take the picture until Wednesday evening at about the same time we realized our air conditioner wasn't working.  Needless to say, it's HOT and I've been avoiding sitting down at the computer to do anything. 

22 weeks

How far along? 22 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain: I think 16 pounds (yes, I literally ate my way through Ohio, Oops!)

Maternity clothes? No

Sleep: Not awful, not great

Best moment this week:  Hands down seeing all my family and friends in Ohio at my shower.  It was fabulous! I will post pictures soon!

Miss Anything?  For the first time I missed alcohol.  A beer would have been great at the Indians game, or a margarita at a Mexican restaurant.

Movement: Lots! John even felt the girls for the first time, which was super exciting!

Food cravings: Everything I ate while in Ohio!

Anything making you queasy or sick:  There were grilled red peppers in a burrito I ate and they made me want to gag!  They tasted like soap!

Wedding rings on or off? On, but getting much tighter in the heat

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody, little things have bothered me, but I tend to get over them pretty quickly (most of the time)

Looking forward to:  Meeting the new OBGYN on Friday, and getting some relief from this heat

Week 20- (Halfway!)

20 Weeks

How far along? 20 weeks. I absolutely can't believe I'm halfway through, maybe more!  It's going so fast, but I have read that the second half goes much slower than the first.

Total weight gain: 10 pounds, it’s coming on quickly now

Maternity clothes? No, I think that the time is getting closer though so I went ahead and bought a few essentials.

Sleep: Depends on the night

Best moment this week:  Of course finding out that we are having two girls!  Now I feel like I can start planning a little more. Also, getting a fun package in the mail from Grandma Taina and Papa John today. (See pictures below) Thank you!

Miss Anything?  Being able to wear ALL my clothes. My selection is getting a little more limited each day.

Movement: Yes, more and more kicks and turns 

Food cravings:  Diary- milk, ice cream, cheese

Symptoms:  None

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope 

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to:  Going to Ohio for a few weeks to see friends and family, and EAT, I’ve already made a list of everyplace I need to eat while home!

How cute are these?! LOVE navy and pink!

OMG!  Matching Oshkosh Overalls!
