27 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

Another week, another update!  This week, I went on a very special shopping trip with my mom & sister (eeeek!) had to get my RhoGAM shot (ouch!) & continued to work on organizing the nursery.  It seems like a never ending project, but I know it will be done/over soon so I’m taking my time & enjoying the process!

How far along: 27 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 29 lbs

Maternity clothes: All I wear are maternity bottoms (aside from my pajama/sweatpants) & a good mix of maternity tops/regular tops.

Stretch marks: None yet…that I can see.

Sleep: Sleep has been overall better this week. Only waking up a couple of times instead of tossing & turning constantly.

Best moment this week: Seeing my sister find her wedding dress!

Worst moment this week: Having a couple of emotional breakdowns out of nowhere…sorry Sean!

Movement: Still feeling movement, some days I feel them nonstop & other days they are really quiet.

Cravings: I can’t stop eating M&M cookies from the Safeway bakery

Queasy or sick: No nausea, just feeling like I have no more room left!  Hip & back pain are getting worse & worse.

Labor signs: Nope!

Belly button in or out: Flat

Wedding rings on or off: I can still put my wedding rings on, but I’ve been wearing my silicone Enso ring lately because it’s more comfortable.

Happy or moody: A little moodier this week…but still happy :)

Looking forward to: Deciding on names...I have a feeling these boys will be nameless until their arrival! 😂

26 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

I can’t believe that tomorrow these baby boys will have been growing for 27 weeks…that means it’s time for my 26 week bumpdate!

This week, I have really begun to notice how out of breath I get by doing simple things (like walking up the stairs, getting in and out of the car, bending over...😳) it’s getting hard to maneuver this big belly!

How far along: 26 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 25 lbs

Maternity clothes: Living in maternity leggings when I’m at home.  I have a few maternity tops & I’m still wearing some of my regular shirts…probably not for long though!

Stretch marks: None yet

Sleep: Sleep has been baaad this week.  I’m always changing positions & can’t seem to get comfortable.  It doesn’t help that we have been out of town this week & I left my pillow at home.  I wake up several times during the night & I always wake up feeling sore!

Best moment this week: Seeing this 😍 (we didn’t get a good 3D picture of baby A, but we did get one of him sucking his thumb!)

Worst moment this week: Being in the car for a long period of time. Not good for my already achey back! (Sean is working out of town & Miesha & I made the trip with him!)

Movement: Tons of movement! I will never get tired of feeling them move.

Cravings: Fountain coke...still

Queasy or sick: A little queasy a couple nights this week, but feeling pretty good otherwise.

Labor signs: Nada

Belly button in or out: Flat

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody: Happy most of the time

Looking forward to: Finishing up the nursery! It’s getting so close :)

25 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

I’m coming to the end of my 25th week of pregnancy & thought this might me a good time to start posting some weekly updates! I have a noticeably bigger belly now (AKA, I’m HUGE) & want to make sure I document all of the changes that have been happening.

The first 23 weeks were rough. At first, it was nausea. When the nausea finally subsided, I had bad acid reflux. Now, I am feeling ten times better! I finally have some energy & have been able to really get prepared for these baby boys to arrive!

Now…to the fun part!

How far along: 25 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 24 lbs

Maternity clothes: I’m still able to fit into most of my shirts. I’ve definitely been rocking maternity pants for a couple of months now.

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: Hit or miss. I have the Queen Rose pregnancy pillow which helps me to sleep on my side, but I often wake up with a sore back & hips.

Best moment this week: Starting on the nursery! My mom & sister came over to paint & put furniture together & my grandpa set up their cribs. I’m in love with how it’s turning out!

Worst moment this week: Sean telling me he thinks I’m as big as a full term woman with a singleton…hmm.

Movement: Lots of kicks! They will be very active one day & a little quieter the next…they must be wearing themselves out ;)

Cravings: Fountain coke

Queasy or sick: Not this week!

Labor signs: Not yet…thank goodness!

Belly button in or out: Still in…but barely. Getting flatter every day!

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody: Happy

Looking forward to: Being 26 weeks on Friday & our next ultrasound.
