Week 26 (very late!)


26 Weeks


How far along? 26 weeks 6 days.  We barely had time to even take the picture this week!  Three doctors’ appointments, a chiropractor appointment, and dinner with a friend made for a very busy week.
Total weight gain: 25 pounds. Ekk, I have to keep reminding myself that I’m carrying two babies
Maternity clothes? Yep, still a mixture of regular (stretchy dresses and skirts) and a little more maternity
Sleep:  Getting more and more uncomfortable each night.
Best moment this week:  Seeing the babies during the ultrasound, sorry no pictures this time.  Baby A is 2 pounds 2 ounces and Baby B is 2 pounds.  Four pounds of baby is getting heavy and we still have a long way to go! And also finally finding an app for multiples was pretty exciting, it’s the little things!
Miss Anything?  My shoes and rings.  I hit an all-time low this week when I wore tennis shoes to work with a maxi dress.  I know there are worse things in the world, but it was pretty embarrassing.  It helped, so I know I’ll end up doing it again. My feet have been very swollen and my hands aren’t very attractive either. 
Movement:  Yep!  Lots!  Feeling hiccups now too
Food cravings:  This week it was been fruit.  I’ve finished 2 pints of blueberries, half a watermelon, and I can’t count how many smoothies!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope
Wedding rings on or off?  Off, my fake one doesn’t even fit. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Probably moody
Looking forward to:  Going to a mothers’ of multiples consignment sale next weekend.  I’m hoping I can find some twin specific items. I have to get my list ready!  Luckily we have had a good amount of hand-me-downs and gifts already. We now have 2 swings, 2 bouncers, and 2 play mats, and a double snap and go- just to name a few of the big things.  Not to mention a TON of clothes, I’ll be skipping the clothes section at the sale!

Week 24 (just a little late!)

24 Weeks


How far along? 24 weeks 1 day (when the picture was taken, I just didn’t sit down to post until now)
Total weight gain: 19 pounds
Maternity clothes? I wore my first maternity dress and shirt last week, so yes, the time has come. 
Sleep: Still waking up various times throughout the night
Best moment this week:  A district math coach, who I have met before, but don’t really know, asked me when I was due  Exciting because maybe I do look pregnant and not just fat?!?
Miss Anything?  Being able to eat and drink (water) as I please, without having acid reflux ALL THE TIME.
Movement: Lots of kicks, turns, and jabs 
Food cravings:  No strong cravings
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Wedding rings on or off?  Off, I need to find a replacement.  My fingers are very swollen.  My feet are now swollen too after working in my classroom for the past few days.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I guess happy?                 
Looking forward to:  Well I can’t say I’m really excited to be back at work, just because I’ve been so tired, but I am looking forward to my new position as an Early Intervention Program teacher, and not having to do all the classroom teacher stuff!

I think Porter might be getting a little jealous, or maybe he wants everyone to know he was our first child!
