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!
