26 weeks...


Here are how many of my hot summer days are spent...


How Far Along - 26 weeks...still slowly passing by! ;)

Size of Babies: according to the app 15 in. and 2.2 lbs! 
.
Weight Gain - Let's just say that with twins the whole trying to only gain minimum amount of weight is out the window! I'm glad I'm 5'10" because it "hides" the weight gain well. I think at least 10 lbs of it is in my "girls," sorry if too much info. Then the rest is all in my belly as of now...
.
Maternity Clothes - Continues to be a mix. I still have one pair of pants, and one pair of regular shorts I can button! Not for long! 

Stretch Marks - No...I've warned Matt that I will cry for days when this happens. I lather on the lotion multiple times daily. I'm like a greased pig when I go to bed! 
.
Best Moment of the WeekGoing to Fayetteville and getting to see Matt's family. Sitting in the pool! 

Miss Anything - Not having a face that looks like a 13 year old going through puberty...oh hormones...

Cravings: Citrus! Usually orange juice makes me nauseated in the morning, but I've been craving it often. I also would give ANYTHING to be able to eat a sub sandwich from Firehouse, Subway, and Jimmy Johns...maybe it just sounds so good because I can't eat it. 
.
Movements -Like crazy. Baby B rolls all the time. Baby A stabs me constantly ;) At times it makes me almost feel like I have motion sickness. It's still amazing to feel them and realize how amazing God is. 
.
Gender - Two girls! Kate and Maddie. 
.
Belly Button - Getting flatter...
.
Mood - Good! At times a wave of anxiety hits me thinking about raising 2 babies, but I try not to think about it too much! ;) 
.
What I'm looking forward to: My nephew and sister will be here off and on this week! Also, I got Moms on Call in the mail and I'm looking forward to reading it!

  1. I am so loving this. Amen about the being 5' 10" and gaining more than expected. Woo Lordy I never thought I'd weigh that much EVER! hehe But breastfeeding two made it ALL come off. I'm getting butterflies all over again just reading. ;)

  2. I love reading this too. Brings back so many memories. Keep lathering on the lotion for stretch marks too! I did the same thing and was lucky enough to not get any. I put it on morning and night!!! I keep thinking about ou as I update my blog. I know it's super long and wordy but I hope you can find some of it helpful. Call or email me anytime! I can tell you honestly...totally honestly...having twins is a LOT more fun than I thought it was going to be. I really thought I was going to be so busy and tired that I'd feel miserable but I don't at all. I wouldn't have it any other way! Not much longer now!
