28 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

Hello, third trimester!  I can’t believe that this week was the start of the third trimester…this pregnancy has been going by SO fast.  It’s crazy to think that these baby boys will be here in 10 weeks or less! 

There is no bump picture this week...because I forgot to take one. But I did manage to snap a view from the top!  

How far along: 28 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 30+ lbs

Maternity clothes: Oh yes.  Mostly wearing maternity clothes except for a few shirts.

Stretch marks: None yet

Sleep:  What sleep?

Best moment this week: Getting some goodies in the mail!  Sean ordered me a workout ball & a belly support belt…why didn’t I get these things sooner?!  The belt has really helped relieve some of my back pain & has been great at supporting this growing bump.  The ball is so comfortable to sit on & also helps relieve some back pain.

I may have also bought myself a few belated birthday gifts from my favorite store. Hey, I deserve it…right?? 😂

Worst moment this week: Rolling over in bed & (what felt like) pulling a stomach muscle...ouch!! It’s getting harder and harder to get up from a laying or sitting position. 

Movement: There has been so much movement this week!  They’ve been having hiccups lateley & it’s so funny feeling/watching them.  We went to the movies earlier this week & they were both moving a ton so Sean was able to feel them, too!

Cravings: Yogurt

Queasy or sick: Not sick, just the usual back/rib pain

Labor signs: No

Belly button in or out: Flat, but getting closer & closer to popping out.

Wedding rings on or off:  I can no longer put my wedding rings on 😭 so I will be wearing my silicone Enso ring for the rest of this pregnancy…probably after, too! 🙈

Happy or moody: A good mix of both

Looking forward to: Seeing family & friends at my baby shower on Sunday!  And going to the Harvest Festival this weekend

27 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

Another week, another update!  This week, I went on a very special shopping trip with my mom & sister (eeeek!) had to get my RhoGAM shot (ouch!) & continued to work on organizing the nursery.  It seems like a never ending project, but I know it will be done/over soon so I’m taking my time & enjoying the process!

How far along: 27 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 29 lbs

Maternity clothes: All I wear are maternity bottoms (aside from my pajama/sweatpants) & a good mix of maternity tops/regular tops.

Stretch marks: None yet…that I can see.

Sleep: Sleep has been overall better this week. Only waking up a couple of times instead of tossing & turning constantly.

Best moment this week: Seeing my sister find her wedding dress!

Worst moment this week: Having a couple of emotional breakdowns out of nowhere…sorry Sean!

Movement: Still feeling movement, some days I feel them nonstop & other days they are really quiet.

Cravings: I can’t stop eating M&M cookies from the Safeway bakery

Queasy or sick: No nausea, just feeling like I have no more room left!  Hip & back pain are getting worse & worse.

Labor signs: Nope!

Belly button in or out: Flat

Wedding rings on or off: I can still put my wedding rings on, but I’ve been wearing my silicone Enso ring lately because it’s more comfortable.

Happy or moody: A little moodier this week…but still happy :)

Looking forward to: Deciding on names...I have a feeling these boys will be nameless until their arrival! 😂

26 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

I can’t believe that tomorrow these baby boys will have been growing for 27 weeks…that means it’s time for my 26 week bumpdate!

This week, I have really begun to notice how out of breath I get by doing simple things (like walking up the stairs, getting in and out of the car, bending over...😳) it’s getting hard to maneuver this big belly!

How far along: 26 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 25 lbs

Maternity clothes: Living in maternity leggings when I’m at home.  I have a few maternity tops & I’m still wearing some of my regular shirts…probably not for long though!

Stretch marks: None yet

Sleep: Sleep has been baaad this week.  I’m always changing positions & can’t seem to get comfortable.  It doesn’t help that we have been out of town this week & I left my pillow at home.  I wake up several times during the night & I always wake up feeling sore!

Best moment this week: Seeing this 😍 (we didn’t get a good 3D picture of baby A, but we did get one of him sucking his thumb!)

Worst moment this week: Being in the car for a long period of time. Not good for my already achey back! (Sean is working out of town & Miesha & I made the trip with him!)

Movement: Tons of movement! I will never get tired of feeling them move.

Cravings: Fountain coke...still

Queasy or sick: A little queasy a couple nights this week, but feeling pretty good otherwise.

Labor signs: Nada

Belly button in or out: Flat

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody: Happy most of the time

Looking forward to: Finishing up the nursery! It’s getting so close :)
