18 Weeks


Definitely getting bigger...



How Far Along: 18 weeks with twins!

How big are the babies: Around 5.5 inches and 5 ounces. About the size of sweet potatoes.

Maternity Clothes: Yes

Weight Gain: 10-12 pounds, depends on the morning. It really fluctuates.

Belly: I imagine my uterus is measuring about 21 weeks.  We'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Stretch Marks: None, yet..

Sleep: As soon as I can.  I wake up 4-5 times a night to pee or just because I feel uncomfortable.  I wake up more and more every week.  I guess this lack of sleep is my bodies way of starting to prepare me for the future.

Best Moment of the Week: Our BIG ultrasound tomorrow!

Movement: Once in a while they play on a trampoline in there.  Not daily, but I definitely feel them more.

Symptoms: No dairy and I'm mostly better. My empty stomach still makes me sick every morning.  Growing boobs.

Food Cravings: Chocolate cake for my birthday.  Shawn made it and it was amazing!

Genders: We will find out tomorrow!

What I Miss: Not worrying about what I eat (deli, etc). Sleeping through the night.

What I'm Looking Forward to: The moment when Shawn and the kids can feel the babies move too.

Weekly Wisdom: Don't push yourself when you're sick.  It just makes you worse.

Milestones: Feeling flutters without poking around.

Emotions: I still cry easily. Especially when I'm tired, which is all of the time. Shawn is not allowed to say any slightly snide remarks. They make me bawl.
