Week 23

Don't mind the pregnancy acne, the hair pulled back, and no makeup.

How Far Along: 23 weeks with twins!

How big are the babies: It depends on the website you go to.  Around 11 inches and either a little less or a little more than a pound.  About the size of a papaya.

Maternity Clothes: Yes

Weight Gain: 16-17 pounds.

Belly:I "think" I'm measuring about 28 weeks.

Stretch Marks: They have arrived.

Sleep: What sleep?  I find myself staying awake at night just to feel them move and kick.  Then when I do get to sleep, I wake up to a braxton hicks because I have to pee.  I get those almost every time I have to pee.

Best Moment of the Week:  Watching my belly move.

Movement: All of the time.

Symptoms:  Sore boobs. Acne on my neck, chest, etc. Hair growth on my belly. Major heartburn, which I feel like is causing my bad breath. And I'm gassy now. Got to love hormones!

Food Cravings: Any grilled meat.

Genders: A boy and a Girl!

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

What I'm Looking Forward to: Our next ultrasound in 1 week.

Weekly Wisdom: Watching Food Network only makes you hungrier!

Milestones: I'm officially 6 months today!

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.
