Maternity clothes?
 Hoping I don’t have to buy any more clothes.. but my belly feels like it might pop out of some of my shirts. :/
Stretch marks? Nope! 
Sleep: I guess I better get used to not sleeping.  The Procardia has helped a little but not much.

Wedding rings on or off? On for now.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy, Happy, Happy!

27 Weeks

How far along? 27 Weeks
Total weight gain: 23 pounds 
Maternity clothes?
 Tank tops, tank tops, and more tank tops.  It’s a hot mother out there.
Stretch marks? Nope! 
Sleep: Blah.  Blah.  Blah.  Restless legs, Braxton hicks, squirmy girls, restless mind.  I am soo tired!  I haven’t had a problem with naps though, so I am fortunate to be home during the day and be able to catch up on some sleep here and there.
Best moment this week:  3 pool days!  2 at a friend’s house - got to see lots of sweet babies/toddlers and catch up with friends.  The dynamic has changed so much with this group.. love it!  And 1 pool day at nana & papa’s house.  The girls love the pool!  Or my back does anyway.  I can’t wait to get them in their baby bikinis and in the pool next year!
Have you told family and friends? Yes
Miss Anything?  The non-drinking thing really hasn’t been bad at all up to this point… but I would be lying if this heat hasn’t made me daydream about a summer beer or two!
Movement:  The girls are still wiggly worms.  We saw Miss B kicking Miss A’s head during our sonogram this week which was a little funny to watch since she has usually been the calm/cooperative one. 
Food cravings: Watermelon & pineapple.. yumm!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope.
Gender: 2 Girls!
Labor Signs: BH contractions.
Symptoms: Restlessness, backache, millions of trips to the bathroom.. nothing unbearable!  I feel pretty dang lucky actually.
Belly Button in or out? Always out.. 
Wedding rings on or off? On for now.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy, Happy, Happy!
Looking forward to:  My shower in 2 weeks!

26 Weeks

How far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: 22 pounds.  At my 25 week appt I was measuring 31 weeks (in comparison to a single pregnancy)… yikes!
Maternity clothes?  Yes.. even though I don't have a whole lot of places to go that I need to get dressed for..
Stretch marks? Nope.  Although… I can’t exactly see my entire belly/body so I might need Brian to investigate.  I hope they stay away!!
Sleep: Blah.  I still get Braxton Hicks when laying on my sides.  My OB put me on Procardia so hopefully that helps!
Best moment this week:  Realizing that in 11 short weeks (or less if they decide to come earlier) we will get to hold these sweet girls.  My heart flutters every time I think about it.
Have you told family and friends? Yes
Miss Anything?  2 very special angels.
Movement: These girls are nuts.  I love watching my belly all day – it is very entertaining!  We have picked names for the girls but we were having a hard time deciding which one is which so we’ve been calling them Miss A and Miss B.  Pretty sure our feisty one “Miss A” will be Madison and our laid back one “Miss B” will be Miss Landry.
Food cravings: Sweets!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope.
Gender: 2 Girls!
Labor Signs: BH contractions.
Symptoms: Restlessness, backache, and a million trips to the bathroom.. daily.  All totally worth it!!
Belly Button in or out? Always out.. 
Wedding rings on or off? On.  I haven’t started to swell yet.  I’m sure it’s only a matter of time as I get further along and dealing with this TX heat!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy, Happy, Happy!
Looking forward to: Some more pool time with friends.
