24 weeks

Oops I totally forgot to post last week! Well here I am now 24 weeks along! The kicks and jabs are getting a lot stronger and still make me jump! We are getting closer to names, but are still having issues with the middle names. I guess being 24 weeks should be a cause for celebration as many say Happy V-Day. However, I really hate the whole celebrating 24 weeks and Viability Day. I do not want my babies born now and will celebrate and be happier once I reach 30 weeks. For now, I am just growing bigger every day and I have a feeling I am going to need more shirts because mine seem to be shrinking! Oh yeah, we bought a Swagger Wagon! Be jealous!!

How far along? 24 weeks 3 days

Maternity clothes? Loving my maternity clothes, but some shirts are already seeming small and tight around the belly!!

21 weeks

Just got home yesterday and boy is the heat aggravating me! I am not a fan of the heat and am really hating it while pregnant! The girls are moving around like crazy. Their kicks and punches are getting stronger and stronger! I can only imagine how strong they will be as the weeks go on. I went this morning to have my early GD test done. Fingers crossed that I pass! Even if I pass I still will have to have it done again at 28 weeks. Boooo!

In case anyone is wondering how I got my twins, here is your answer! Haha... I just adore these onesies.

Well I am over halfway there now and the girls are starting to move around like crazy!! Lots of thumps and bumps here and there! I am looking forward to our next u/s to confirm they are two girls and get a better look at Baby B's heart! DH and I are also excited because BIL/SIL bought a house so they'll be out in time for the babies! We have a lot of renovating and stuff to do, but we look forward to having double the space we have now! Later today we are off to NJ for the week to visit with family! Should be a fun 4th of July!!
