Week 26


Things are still going well. This week when I measured my belly it had grown 1 1/2 inches but this week I have also grown everywhere else. My butt, waist, and boobs all added about 1/2 inch - I know, I know it's suppose to happen and I expected it to but it is just weird when it actually happens.
I feel them moving around A LOT, in fact they are right now (maybe they know I'm talking about them..haha!). We found out when Joe talks to them, they usually kick or move and if they are moving, if you poke them they will kick or move.

Week 25


This week has been good. My belly has grown yet another inch. The nurse said that my uterus is measuring at 32 weeks. We actually got to hear their heartbeats for the first time in months. One was at 156 and the other was around 143. They are still moving A LOT! We have even started to notice a sleep schedule with them and, so far I like it.

Week 24


This week we went back to school so getting back into a routine was hard but I made sure to get a lot of sleep. We also started our Childbirth class. So far the only bad thing is that it doesn't get over until 9pm so we don't get home until 9:45pm and that is way to late for me (and Joe). It was amazing how many people in the class are from Illinois, including our instructor. The classes are once a week for 5 weeks and they give us a tour of the hospital and get us pre-registered.
I am feeling good. So far I have gained about 15 lbs and my belly seems to be growing about an inch a week. The girls are very active!!! They move around so much Joe can watch my belly move. We are going to have our hands full for the next 18 or so years!

Week 23


As you can see my belly button is starting to pop out a little more! :)

We had a doctor's appointment this week with the specialist again. We are now 99% sure we are having 2 girls. According to their measurements, each baby weighs about 1.5 lbs, but I have gained about 15 lbs so I'm not exactly sure where the other weight is going! :) They said that everything looks good and I don't have to see them again for another month.

Joe & I have been discussing names but nothing definite. Some of the ones we are throwing around are Adina, Sari, Noel, and Shiloh.

Week 22

We traveled to Effingham for Christmas, where my mom and Shelly Bridges threw me an awesome Baby Shower.

I seemed to be getting tired more easily but I still feel great! My belly is still growing and the babies are still VERY active. I think Joe & I might have our hands full!
