Twins Bumpdate: 15 + 16 weeks

How far along?

15/16 weeks! 

Babies are the size of?

Avocados (about 4-5in each; 3-5oz)

Total weight gain/loss?

Surprisingly only about a pound.

Are you showing?

Clearly.  Haha!  I keep having to remind myself that I'm growing two babies.

Cravings?

Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and french fries with mustard.  Aside from that, just food in general.  Sadly, I still can't drink hot coffee.  It leaves a horrible taste in my mouth.

Sleeping?

I can't seem to get comfortable, but it could be worse.  Right now I'm up every few hours to pee!

Symptoms?

I'm still pretty exhausted, but not falling asleep every time I sit down.  I'm a little nauseous in the evenings, but thankfully not throwing up.  Pregnancy pops seems to help.

Genders?

The ultrasound tech told me what she thinks they are, but it was just for fun ;) Hopefully announcing soon.

Movement?

I think I feel flutters, but nothing crazy. 

Mood this week?

Thankful. I'm so happy we were able to share our news and that everything seems to be going well.  I have another ultrasound next week that I'm so excited for and so grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful people this week.

Best moment this week?

So many this week!  We celebrated Easter, went out boating, enjoyed soccer games and play dates! I even got a morning out and had brunch with a friend.

No comments

• How far along?: 15 weeks
• Baby is the size of a: Naval orange (according to WTE Pregnancy)
• Total weight gain/loss:  -3 lbs I can't seem to gain much weight, which is very surprising given all the food I am constantly eating.
• Stretch Marks? Nothing new so far.
• The Bump: It's definitely there now.  I'm in the "is she pregnant, or just chubby" phase.
• Symptoms: I've started to have headaches towards the evening. :(
• Food Cravings: Just food in general....and root beer.  I've been drinking a lot of root beer.
• Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: I still can't do pizza, unless it's thin crust.  Other than that, no sickness.
• Sleep: I'm going to bed really early and sleeping pretty well.  I just wish I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night!  Oh, and it might be time to break out the pregnancy pillow.
• What I miss: This week it was alcohol.  I'm don't drink much anyhow, but Michael and I went to dinner on the beach and I was really craving a fruity cocktail!  I opted for root beer instead.
• Weddings Rings On or Off: On.
• Any Names Picked Out Yet: We did start throwing around a few names this week.  We haven't agreed on anything yet.
• Gender: It's a.....SURPRISE!  Michael found out and of course, couldn't keep it a secret and told me.  He already blabbed it to a few close friends and his parents, but we've decided to keep it to ourselves from everyone else, including my family!
• Movement: None.
• Maternity Clothes: I knew fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes would be short lived!  I'm not in maternity yet, but I have been wearing more dresses and workout clothes.
• Labor Signs: No!
• Best Moment of the Week:  Getting to spend time with Michael.  We had such a great date night (even though our Garth Brooks concert was cancelled).

Feeling:  Very blessed, excited and nervous!  I can't believe we are expecting another little baby and he/she will be here before the end of the year!

What I'm exciting about/looking forward to: A healthy and smooth pregnancy like I had with Emma.  And a relaxing week with not much to do!
