27 weeks!













How Far Along: 27 weeks....and depending on what reference you are using, third trimester!

Total Weight Gain: I'm not sure on the exact number because I forget to ask after she weighed me and I wasn't paying attention so I can update that next week after my appointment but over 30 lbs I know.

Maternity Clothes: Yup...things are actually starting to get a little tight so I have been living in comfy dresses and sweats.

Stretch Marks: Eh... I have some but they are really faint.

Best Moment this Week: i have two. I got to see the boys on Thursday at a doctor's appointment...they were moving around and are so much bigger! Brayden is measuring 2 lbs 1 oz, Camden is measuring 2lbs 4 oz, both 15 inches long! They grow so quick! Keep growing little guys!! Then B had a long weekend so we did stuff around the house for the babies. We hung the curtains and shelves in the nursery. I sterilized their bottles and pacifiers. I started packing their diaper bag and put a list together for my hospital bag. I am SUCH a planner so I would really love to just have everything done in case I go into preterm labor. We got our carseats in, one of our pack n plays, the clothes in the nursery are all cleaned and put away neatly. We just some smaller items and we are all set!

Movement: Tons...and Camden's head is very low so it feels so strange to feel movement down in my pelvic region.

Food Cravings: Nothing really. I made ham and potato chowder and that's the only thing that has sounded good to me though.

Belly Button Innie or Outtie: A very, very shallow innie.

What are You Looking Forward to this Week: I am just looking forward to being another week closer to have these little guys here!

24 weeks...and nursery



I haven't posted in a couple weeks because I was in Alaska visiting family and had my baby shower. I'll do a separate post for my baby shower because...it was so great it deserves it's own post!

I feel like I got so much bigger while I was up there and that was confirmed when Brett picked me up from the airport and commented about how much bigger I am. And flying...is NO fun while pregnant. None whatsoever! I had a good time in Alaska but I am so glad to be home.
My parents got us our nursery bedding for the baby shower so I've been working on the nursery. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE the bedding. It is exactly what I wanted! And my mom and I saw this tree decal at Babies R Us and it matches perfectly! I decoupaged these letters today and I think they turned out pretty good. I am not a perfectionist so they are not perfect but good enough for me!

And the most exciting thing this week...Brett felt the babies kick last night. They have been moving like crazy lately so last night, I just had him sit with his hand on my stomach while we watched t.v. They were moving but I wasn't sure if they were hard enough kicks that he would be able to feel them. So I felt a kick and asked "did you feel that?" and he just got a huge smile on his face! I know he was so happy because he has been wanting to feel them. Then, he was resting his head on my stomach and he got a little kick on the face :) It made me so happy that he could finally feel what I've been feeling!
