Maternity clothes? Yes and some of them are too small

Stretch marks? Some small ones on each side and hip

Sleep? Sleep is continuing to get more uncomfortable but is not bad most nights.  My belly is feeling much heavier so rolling over is challenging.  The number of pillows I’m using varies each night.   I know this is going to  continue get much worse so I’m just thankful I’m actually sleeping still

Best moment this week?  Getting showered with love at my baby shower.  We had such an outpouring of love and support  and it was so much fun to see all the adorable girl clothing… of course in sets of 3

Miss anything? Still Jimmy Johns italian subs and deli sandwiches in general.  I’m also now missing being able to put on pants and lotion on my legs.  It’s getting harder and harder to bend over or even sit up straight.

Movement? I’ve been feeling and seeing some pretty big kicks, punches, elbows… I’m really not sure what they’re doing in there but I’m feeling them and so is Daddy

Food cravings? Not much still.  I’m still not that hungry usually so I’m forcing myself to eat every couple hours.  I guess I’m craving water because I’m thirsty all the time

Genders? We found out at 18 weeks that they’re identical girls!!  The doctors had  guessed girls at 16 and 17 weeks but couldn’t say for sure.  At 18 weeks they confirmed and at 20 weeks, 22 weeks and 24 weeks.. still girls.  I think Alvin is still hoping that by some miracle, there’s a boy in there haha.  The truth is we just want them to arrive happy and healthy.

Symptoms? Brushing my teeth still makes me want to throw up.  I’ve been having more swelling so I’m trying to stay off my feet as much as possible and avoid sodium whenever I can.   I’m still pretty tired and trying to listen to my body and nap when I get really sleepy. I still get short of breath easily and my belly button is officially an outie.

Wedding ring on or off? Off.  I can no longer fit any rings on my hands.  They get pretty puffy most days

Happy or moody?  Pretty happy.  We’re really getting excited to see what our girls look like and what their personalities are like.

Weight gain? 52 lbs.  The first weight goal was to hit 35 lbs by 20 weeks.  I hit 35 lbs at 21 weeks.  Next goal is 54 lbs at week 28 and I’m almost there.

Looking forward to?  Making it through these next 10 weeks (God willing) and getting to meet our sweet baby girls
