Happy Thanksgiving!

I saw my regular OB yesterday. The babies are looking absolutely fabulous.

The Dr. was really pleased with our progress. I was measuring about 29 weeks so about 4-5 weeks ahead! That means they are growing great.

Baby A is still head down on my right side, and B is head up on the left side.

Their kicks are getting stronger and pretty much all day long!

We will see the specialist next week to weigh and measure these little guys.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend! We have so much to be thankful for!

24 weeks!

Feeling pretty good. Really starting to slow down, mainly to prevent any preterm complications. These babies are heavy and I feel it by the end of the day.

Luckily, Ashton and Weston are great sports and fine with movies, books, coloring and games here at home.

We are fortunate to have Grandma Bell so close. She comes once a week to play with the boys and take them on outings. It is a great help and they love it.

These babies are extremely loved already. We are so excited to meet them in 3 months!

Bedtime snack

This whole pregnancy sweets have not sounded good. In fact, they often make me gag a little.

This is how it was with my other 2 pregnancies. Hence the feeling that these babies were boys also.

Every now and then I can have a bite or 2 of something as long as it's not too chocolatey.

So instead of a bowl of ice cream or some type of dessert at night I have started having a cup full of cereal-preferrably strawberry frosted shredded wheats.

I also have become slightly lactose intolerant this pregnancy. I don't know why because normally I'm a big milk drinker. So the next best thing (even though it's pretty yucky) is soy milk. It gets the job done when it comes to cereal.

This 9:00p.m. snack has really helped with my early morning hunger pains.

Now instead of waking up feeling nauseatingly hungry at 3:30, I can sleep until about 6:30 before I'm hungry.

I think these little guys appreciate all of my efforts in trying to feed them. It's getting harder and harder as they take up more and more space in my tiny body.

Here's to 3 more months of pregnancy!

22 weeks

These babies are really growing-and behaving.
Our Dr. appt. yesterday was great and you can read about it on our family blog.
We may have names picked out! It's not easy finding 2 first names and 2 middle names that we can both agree on. Who knows if these names will stick, but for now they are sounding pretty good to us. We will reveal the names when these little boys are born (so don't ask)!
We want to keep it a surprise :)
