22 Weeks

How far along? 22 weeks

Babies' size and stats? According to the book our babies are now a whole pound and about 8 inches long! They have developing senses. They even say that the placenta changes taste based on what I eat.

Gain? I believe the doctor said 17 pounds yesterday. I asked her about my weight gain and she said I was gaining what I needed to. I should expect to gain a pound a week. I am measuring 29 weeks, which is expected for a twin pregnancy.

Maternity clothes? Pants and some tops.

Stretch marks? None

Sleep? Still not sleeping great which is so disappointing. I asked about my pain when I'm sleeping and my doctor recommended a back brace. I guess they are sold at Babies R'Us and I am planning on getting one this weekend. :-)

Foods I am loving? Well I've really been craving pumpkin scones at Starbucks, apples, and apple cider.

Foods I am hating? Still raw vegetables and spicy foods. I had a salad the other day and my stomach felt bad for a couple of hours after.

Best moment this week? Spending time with my siblings at my cousin's Vegas Wedding. Kevin even offered to carry me back to the hotel. :-)

Movement? Yep... They seem to wake up at about 4:30 or at least that is when I start to notice movement.

Symptoms? I'm tired this week...could have been the trip. I have also noticed that I'm moving a lot slower than I normally do. Takes me a while to get down the hallway. Also space is getting tighter so I've been having to go to the bathroom a lot more often. Luckily I have someone at work that comes to check on me a couple of times during the day.

Gender? One BOY and one GIRL!

What I'm looking forward to? Holidays.

Milestones: Hitting the halfway point!

Emotions: We have A LOT to do before the babies arrive and with basketball season just around the corner we are quickly running out of time.
