How far along? 33 weeks, babies are the size of pineapples Total weight gain/loss: 37 lbs Stretch marks? Nope Sleep? also a big nope Best moment this week: This week we took a breastfeeding class from the hospital. I definitely hope to breastfeed both babies, and I felt pretty reassured in the class that it is totally possible. Of course I understand that every woman is different, so I'm not going to be upset if it doesn't work out just the way I want it to. Food cravings: Our friends (who are also pregnant) hosted us for a pregnancy craving dinner. It was a fabulous idea. We had reuben sandwiches, greek quinoa salad, lemonade, and guava cheesecake.  Movement: tons, as usual.  Belly Button in or out? out Wedding rings on or off? Off Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm generally feeling pretty happy that things have gone well, and I occasionally have a weird teary moment that I know is totally hormonal. Exercise: I walk the dog, and really it's been plenty ...

How far along? 32 weeks. Babies are getting pretty big. A weighed in at 4 lb 8 oz and B is at 4 lb 2 oz. Total weight gain/loss: Not sure, but it feels like a ton. Stretch marks? No Sleep? I'm not sleeping well anymore. Gone are the days of a decent nights rest. Best moment this week: This past Monday we went to a baby care class at the hospital. It was recommended by my doctor. They covered all of the basics, like bathing, swaddling, signs of illness, etc. Nothing earth shattering, but it was still nice to get a review and it was fun taking a class together. Clayton was asked to demonstrate how to swaddle a baby, and he very proudly went to the front of the room and showed the whole class while providing comical commentary. He's such a cutie. Then on Tuesday we went back to the hospital for a tour. Because I'm having twins we will be delivering in the OR, even if it's not a C Section. I'm kind of jealous. The other delivery rooms looked nice. You...

I decided that I really don't like taking selfies, my faces are too weird. How far along? 31 weeks, babies are the size of coconuts. My next ultrasound is on Tuesday so I'll have more legitimate measurements then. I also am going to start having weekly stress tests done and even more frequent doctors visits. They sure do keep an eye on high risk pregnancies! I feel like I'm always at doctors appointments and always getting some kind of test done. Total weight gain/loss: 32 lbs. That's pretty dang good for twins, if I do say so myself! I'm feeling it though, carrying around all that weight in the front is doing a number on my back and hips. As far as size goes, it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be at this point- counting my blessings! Stretch marks? Not yet. Sleep? I'm sooo drowsy all day and I sleep like a baby at night (minus the 2-4 bathroom trips) Best moment this week: We've gotten half of the nursery set up! I'll post a...

How far along? 30 weeks, babies are the size of cabbages. My friend who is 36 weeks with a singleton is the same size as me. Awesome. Total weight gain/loss: 28ish lbs? I actually haven't checked recently, but if I've maintained a 2 lb increase every week then that should be about right.  Stretch marks? Nope. Though, I've heard from a lot of twin moms that thought they were in the clear and then got tons of stretch marks at 35-37 weeks. But, who cares? Right? Sleep: I'm so tired lately that I have no issues falling asleep anymore. I'm tired enough to go to bed by 5 when Clayton gets home, but I try to wait until 10 to maintain a normal schedule.  Best moment this week: Baby showers! I went to Utah to see my family and they threw me a lovely baby shower, and then when I got home my friends in Ohio also planned one. We were spoiled rotten with baby clothes, these girls are going to be the best dressed little ladies.  Food cravings: water. I'm so thirsty ...
