(How are you supposed to take a good selfie? Where do your arms go?) How far along? 20 weeks, babies are the size of bananas. Actually, mine are a little bigger. They're measuring a couple weeks ahead of schedule. Total weight gain/loss: I'm at 124 Maternity clothes? Mostly, but still wearing a few normal pieces  Stretch marks? Nope Sleep: I've got like a nest of pillows that have to be placed around me just right, and then I'm pretty comfortable. Best moment this week: Last week we had the anatomy scan. It's always fun to watch them moving around. I was surprised by how big they are and how cramped they are already.

How far along? 18 weeks, babies are the size of bell peppers Total weight gain/loss: I'm at 122 now, so we're trucking along I guess Maternity clothes? Yeppers. stretchy pants all the way. Although I still wear my normal shirts, and they make me look less pregnant. Stretch marks? Nope Sleep: Is the worst. I was up from 1-4 last night trying to get comfortable. I even bought one of those giant pillows that wraps all the way around you, but it was too firm.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I'll probably never eat Panda Express again. Have you started to show yet: Yes. There is no hiding it anymore. Gender: They're both girls! We are thrilled! Belly Button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On, unless I'm working out. Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy all...
