Maternity clothes? Yep.   
Stretch marks? Nope!    
Sleep: Good when I’m not having Braxton hicks or waking up every 1-2 hours to go to the bathroom.
Best moment this week:  Hearing 2 strong heartbeats.  Seems like it has been forever since we have been to the Dr even though it was only 2 weeks.
Have you told family and friends? Yes
Miss Anything?  Standing/walking comfortably.  They are positioned so low.  Sometimes I feel like I’m strangling Miss B with the band on my shorts. 
Movement:  I love my little wiggle monsters.. even though their favorite time to play is when I’m trying to sleep. : /  Just a glimpse of my future I suppose!
Food cravings:  Mexican food & Cappuccino Heath Blizzards.. Yumm!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope.
Gender: 2 Girls!
Labor Signs: BH contractions.
Symptoms: Restlessness, backaches, BH contractions, waddling (is that a symptom? Ha).. their positions are making it really hard to walk!
Belly Button in or out? Always out.. 
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy, Happy, Happy!
Looking forward to:  MFM appointment on Tuesday.  Can’t wait to see the girls!

Miss Anything? I hate to complain because I really am loving this pregnancy.. but a good night’s sleep would be okay with me.  Every once in a while.

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.
Best moment this week:  Received 2 bouncers in the mail from a sweet friend that can’t make it to the shower.  Trying to picture our lives a few months from now.. bouncers, swings, toys, diapers, $hit everywhere…. Makes me smile!
Have you told family and friends? Yes
Miss Anything?  Sleep, sitting comfortably, laying comfortably…
Movement:  I swear I have a gymnastics class going on inside of me.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope.
Gender: 2 Girls!
Labor Signs: BH contractions.
Symptoms: Restlessness, backaches, BH contractions like crazy.  I hate Braxton Hicks.  I now get them all day long no matter what position I am sitting/laying/standing/walking.
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:  Lots of rain in the forecast and my shower next wkd!

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!
