bumpdate {18 weeks}

HOW FAR ALONG:  18 weeks 3 days in the picture with TWINS {18 weeks 4 days as i type!}

MATERNITY CLOTHES: yep. with this cooler weather i have been wearing my maternity pants and loving them. while my mom was here we got some more pants and i think i am set for now! just need to get some long sleeve tops for when it gets cold. still a challenge figuring out what to wear. yes, the weather is cooler but not cool enough for all my sweaters i am dying to wear! 

WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS: guys, i have finally gained weight! a whole 4 pounds. my dr isn't worried anymore because the babies look healthy and are growing as they should be. hoping they do through out!

BEST THING THIS WEEK: finding out what these precious babies are and feeling them move around. oh and having strangers ask when our baby is due. we then say, we are having twins and then seeing their faces. so funny! 

GENDER: 1 BOY and a 70% chance baby B is a GIRL. the dr looked and looked for another boy part but didn't see one. she saw three little lines. which means she has girl parts. she looked for a while and said she was 70% sure it was a she. so, we are going with that chance! 

MOVEMENTS: oh yeah, mostly at night after dinner. our little guy is more active then our little girl. i have a feeling we have a hyper boy on our hands and an easy going calm baby girl. haha. 

FOOD CRAVINGS/AVERSIONS: everyday is different. i get cravings that come out of nowhere. currently its a big mac. which is weird because i haven't had a big mac in years! so weird. not sure if should even think about indulging in that craving. i don't indulge in all my cravings, that would be bad! ha. 

WHAT I MISS: being able to walk with our being in pain. lately i have been suffering from back and leg pain. which is normal and will only get worse til they are here. fun stuff! 

SLEEP: some nights are better than others. few nights ago i slept 9 hours with out getting up to pee. i felt like a new woman! ha. 

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: decorating their room. we have gathered a few pieces already and i cannot wait to put it all together. hoping the vision i have in my head will look good in real life. :)

i cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is going. i will be 19 weeks on thursday. say what??! lately with all these aches and pains i am realizing i can't do all i used too. my mom was here for a few days and boy it wore me out. all the walking and such. i still loved having my mom here. she is the best. she helped us so much. thanks momma! 

i work in the nursery in church and after yesterday i realized it is too much for me now at this stage in the pregnancy. it makes me so sad though. i love those kids and really do love working with them every sunday but, i got to take care of my body and know my limits. 

let's see, what else is new not too much. just super excited that we finally know what they are. we love our baby boy and baby girl. cannot wait for them to get here! :)
