bumpdate {30 weeks}

HOW FAR ALONG:  30 weeks 1 day with twins! 

MATERNITY CLOTHES:  yes ma'am. im usually in sweats,leggings or pj's, you know being on bed rest. im going to dinner with my sister in law so i put on semi real clothes today, still rocking leggings! oh and sometimes i put real clothes on for the dr's on mondays but, only sometimes! 

WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS: gaining about 2lbs a week i think. i honestly have no idea how much i have gained. like no clue! haha. 

BEST THING THIS WEEK: having another big ultrasound with the tech and seeing these active babies. even got to see baby girl's profile for a second before she moved her face! baby boy wouldn't show us his face. we also learned that the babies have switched sides. baby boy is now on my left and baby girl is on my right. crazy, they had enough room to flip. haha. oh and we found out that baby boy weighs 3lbs 8 0z and baby girl weights 2lbs 6 oz! grow babies, grow!

GENDER: boy & girl!

MOVEMENTS:  all the time. which is normal. according to an app i have, you should feel them move 10x an hour. i definitely feel them move more times than others but, boy are they moving!  

FOOD CRAVINGS/AVERSIONS:  currently craving movie theater popcorn and sees butterscotch lolipops. random huh?

WHAT I MISS: being comfortable when i sleep. baby girl likes to push her back into me right under my boobs. not fun, good thing i love these babies! 

SLEEP: still hit & miss. some nights its great and some its not. they are just prepping me for when they are here. 

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: my baby shower next week. oh and getting through these holidays {still pregnant!} praying they stay put til mid january! 

nothing else real exciting to write down this update. still on bed rest....everyone is like you are so positive all the time. oh trust me im not. i have my days. somedays i go crazy in this house and somedays it doesn't bug me. like since it's been FREEZING i don't mind it too much! 

happy weekend!

bumpate {26 weeks}

worst quality photo. sorry the lighting was terrible! 

HOW FAR ALONG:  26 weeks with TWINS! {26 weeks 3 days in this picture} 

MATERNITY CLOTHES:  yep. all about comfy clothes now that im on bed rest. the top in this photo is actually a tunic from old navy. it's sweatshirt material and amazing. see it here. if youre preggo you need this in your life-trust me!

WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS:  i think i am up another 4 lbs from last time so a total of 15 or so lbs since the start. i am totally guessing i don't remember what the scale was at my last appt. which was only a week ago haha. get to go again today. 

BEST THING THIS WEEK: lets see, feeling them move so much. at times its annoying or even hurts me when baby girl kicks my ribs or in baby boy's case my pelvic bone since he is so low. i still love it. im learning they are already tricksters i saw babe feel and then they stop. already messing with their daddy! 

GENDER: boy & girl :)

MOVEMENTS: oh yes. since the whole hospital adventure they are so active. my belly gets super hard when they move due to my uterus being crazy still. they still are the most active at night or lately in the morning. 

FOOD CRAVINGS/AVERSIONS:  no aversions. although sweets don't usually sound that great to me anymore. so weird. im loving all the foods i used to love before i was pregnant. still crave french fries all the time. haha. 

WHAT I MISS:  being able to do more around the house. i know resting is the best for the twins and i but, still hard not to want to pick up that sock or whatever. thankfully my mom was here and helped so much and dan is doing so well with everything! love that guy! oh and my stretch mark free skin-yep i found my first few stretch marks! 

SLEEP:  last few nights have been get like 3 times to pee and adjust the pillows a million times kind of nights. the babies are stubborn and don't like when i sleep on my right side they move and then my belly gets super hard and SO uncomfortable. silly babies.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: taking these next hopefully 10 weeks to rest and focus on me and these babies. thankfully the nursery is pretty much done well kind of. oh and my baby shower. my aunt and i were talking about it. made excited for when it happens in several weeks! 

there you have the 26 week bumpdate. even though im uncomfortable from the kicking and stretching of my skin i love being pregnant. i also feel so blessed to still be pregnant. gotta keep them in at least 10 more weeks-we can do it! :) 

xoxo

bumpdate {22 weeks}

HOW FAR ALONG:  22 weeks 1 day in the photo with twins!-currently 22 weeks 3 days

MATERNITY CLOTHES:  oh yes. this question is going to get rather silly from here on out. i can wear some non maternity clothes but, maternity are much more comfy. 

WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS: gained about 11 lbs-a little hard to see that scale go up but, i know it will just keep on going up. only for these precious babies. really it's just baby so far, i haven't noticed weight going anywhere else. {knock on wood} people say i don't look pregnant from behind then i turn around and bam. haha. 

BEST THING THIS WEEK: having our 20 weeks scan {a little late} and being able to see our cute babies. even confirm the genders for sure. we were able to see that both babies are healthy and look perfect! it's crazy to see all their little parts their cute little feet melted my heart and their precious little noses. gahh i love!

GENDER: 1 baby boy and 1 baby girl! so excited.....cannot wait to snuggle them. 

MOVEMENTS: um, yes they love to move after dinner and lately in the middle of the night. the other night they were pretty much boxing each other for 2 1/2 hours. it was great that they were moving but, not so much at 3 am. silly babies. 

FOOD CRAVINGS/AVERSIONS: french fries and a cheeseburger. that seems to be the common craving around these parts. oh and fish tacos. random! no food adversions anymore! huzzah! 

WHAT I MISS: bending over without feeling sooo out of breath-that is something i just have to get used too. 

SLEEP: still hit and miss. i never know how the night will go. lucky me, i still can nap if i want too. sometimes i find myself falling asleep on the couch around 4pm. haha. 

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: getting their cribs and putting the nursery together. i feel like we have so much to do and so little time. hopefully these babies stay cooking until at least 36 weeks! 

this week we were able to see the babies two days in a row. tuesday with the tech for our anatomy scan and wens with my real doctor for a check up. can i just say how much i love our doctor? she is amazing. she makes me feel so comfortable and she is the right fit for us. 

she said i am measuring 25 weeks which is normal for twins and that everything looks great. the next appointment is going to the "dreaded" glucose test. i already have that orange drink in the fridge. wish me luck on the 30th with that. i think after this next appointment we start seeing her more often and then start seeing someone up in labor and delivery for monitoring the babes closer since, i am consider higher risk than a normal single pregnancy. 

we also discussed a little about delivery and she did say if baby a {our baby boy} stays the way he is {fingers crossed!!!} that we will be able to have a {excuse the word} vaginal birth. so let's pray he stays that way. we appreciate the thoughts and prayers from all of you! i feel so blessed that both babies are doing great and i am as well. despite the normal aches and pains. huzzah! 

oh and i got a flu shot for the first time in years and guess what? the very next day i felt so ill. darn you stupid flu shot. its all for you babies!

that is about all that is new so far. i am getting really really excited for my babies to be here. i cannot wait. as much as i am excited i need them to stay cooking for a little longer at least until im 36 weeks! :)

see past bumpdates here. 

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! :)

bumpate {14 weeks}

thats like the worst picture. i look so tired! haha. sorry and the quality sucks. apologies!

HOW FAR ALONG:  in this picture 14 weeks 2 days with twins

MATERNITY CLOTHES:  i can still wear most pants with a rubber band but, their not too comfy for very long. i will be needing a belly band, like stat. shirt wise i like my maternity ones better on. they look better, instead of making look chubby i look pregnant in them which is good. the on in this pic is not a maternity shirt actually! 

WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS: still haven't gained anything. which means wens my doctor will probably get mad at me again. im trying to eat and eat. so we will see. hopefully i have gained atleast something. fingers crossed. that is hopefully the last time i say that about gaining weight. haha

BEST THING THIS WEEK: hitting 2nd trimester, woohoo!!!! :) 

GENDER: not sure yet. few more weeks. still hoping for one of each but, starting to think its 2 boys. we will see! dan is hoping for one of each too! 

MOVEMENTS: sometimes i think i can feel little flutters but only when i lay completely still. my mother in law says it could be possible but idk. maybe its just gas. haha!

FOOD CRAVINGS/AVERSIONS: french fries and anything bad for you. oh cucumbers, tomatoes and grapes those are good for you! 

WHAT I MISS: sleeping a whole night without 2-3 pee breaks. 

SLEEP: night sleeping is still hit or miss. i catch myself sleeping in weird positions which isnt very fun the next day. since hitting the 2nd trimester i take less naps but still am tired. just not as tired. 

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: the babies being here, so we can snuggle them and love them. i also really really cannot wait to know what they are.  so the shopping can begin! {aka spoiling!}

at times it feels like the pregnancy is going slow but, others feels fast. i know before we know it, they will be here. which is so exciting. i think dan is the most excited. the other day we went swimming and dan said "i wish the babies were here, so i can take them swimming!" or he will say "when the babies are here im gonna teach them this..." he loves them so much already! 

he will be the best dad, i just know it. these babies are so lucky they get him for a daddy! let's see anything else new? not really. been missing my momma these days. wish she was closer so, she could see the bump grow in person. hopefully she comes to visit soon. {psssttt.....momma come in september, please!!} 

i hope you all had a wonderful weekend. come back this week to see some photos from lately! 
xoxo

i thought what a better way to track this pregnancy then to blog about it every so often. i know you are thinking "woah, she is already showing" well peoples, there are two babies in there!!! i love my little bump. it is a lot harder and bigger at night but it is still there all day. it's my fave. 

the last few days i have been feeling really anxious to start buying baby things. i am dying to know what these babies are. i want to decorate the nursery so bad. like, way bad. i have so many ideas and cannot wait to put them to use. only a few more weeks {haha. like a lot more weeks} til we know! 

hope you are all having a good monday, im going to take a nap now! :)
