24 Weeks/6 Months!!!!!

I know, I know.....two days late! Horrible blogger I am!

How Far Along: 24 weeks/6 Months! Wow! Hello Viability! :)

How Big are the Babies: The girls are each the size of a papaya, (the last week of being a papaya!) Watch what you say -- the babies are now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that each baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and those little faces are fully formed. And, they are starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop (thebump.com).

Weight Gain: Starting weight 126 lbs. and currently still right around 150 lbs......EKKK, never in my life did I EVER think I would be 150 lbs!!! But of course I don't care and I hope to put on lots more weight for these girls before they are born!

How Big I am Measuring: I totally forgot to go back and add that in last week, so I apologize! This week I am measuring at 36 WEEKS...about 40.5 inches around as of last night!

Symptoms: BACK PAIN! Tired, worn-out, out of breath easily, HEARTBURN (every single day, and it hurts), leg cramps, contractions (everyday, all day, still about 40 a day), swollen feet and ankles (you should have seen them after my shower on Saturday, WOW), tingly fingers. I can't get up off the floor or bend over hardly at all, without a big contraction at least afterwards.

Emotions: Getting more and more excited to meet these little girls! Now that their room is really coming together, ah, I am so excited!

Also, having moments when I think about how this might be my only pregnancy and that really saddens me. I know I am so blessed to carry these beautiful little girls, I just so hope I will be able to do it again, with just one baby though. I can never see this being my only pregnancy and my only babies. We will see, it's in God's hands, and I trust him completely to do what's best for our family.

Best Moment of the Week: My shower on Saturday (post coming), it was so great! I was so overwhelmed with all the stuff, I can't believe how generous people are, and I am sooo thankful!

Also, we finally purchased a dresser to fit into the closet in the girls room and Tim put it together last night and it's awesome! It's just a cheaper one, basically just to hold stuff for the next year or so, like socks and tights, onesies and sleepers. I didn't want to get one that was super expensive to fit into a room we have no where to put it!

Movement: All day, they seem to sleep late and then around 2-3:00pm, they wake up and are swimming around all afternoon and evening. I LOVE it and so does Tim.

Maternity Clothes: Everything, except my UGGS.

Stretchmarks: Still just a few on my chest, nothing more!

Sleep: Still the same, terrible during the night. Peeing a lot and still not really falling asleep until around 5:15am, and then I sleep til almost noon. Naps (when I do take them) during the day are great, I can sleep forever.

Food Cravings: This week definitely has to be BLT's! I cannot get enough of them! Also, double stuffed oreos! And of course lots of water, OJ and whole milk.

Genders: Three little princesses!

What I Miss: Wine, good sleep and being comfortable with NO back pain!

What I am Looking Forward to: My second shower this weekend!! SOOOO excited!

And here are my photos for this week:
