24 weeks

How Far Along: 24 Weeks

Size of babies: About the size of an ear of corn

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans, pants and some tops. I can still fit in some non-maternity dresses and tops as well. I'm trying to wear as much non-maternity stuff as I can since I know that I will out-grow it for sure. I can definitely tell that I'm hitting a growth spurt right now. I feel like I grow every 2 days!

Gender: We are not finding out. Can't wait for the surprise(s)!

Movement: I feel flutters- especially after I eat. I've also started to feel some tumbling and something that might be hiccups--there is definitely more force going on than just the flutters now. I think Baby B is going to be wild:).

Sleep: I wish I could say this was going better. I used to sleep on my stomach which of course is out of the question but no complaints here. I fall asleep fine but I have trouble staying asleep. It seems like I wake up every hour or more once it hits 1am. I surround myself by tons of pillows so hopefully this will get better.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, sushi, steaming hot baths (I don't really miss anything too much because I'm so excited:)).

Food Cravings: I've become a sweet tooth! This is definitely a change. I used to crave salt more but I feel like I crave sweets more now. Things like blueberry cake donuts, skittles, chocolate chip cookies, etc. As I mentioned above, I must be hitting a growth spurt because I seem to be ravenous all the time! Up until now, I feel like my appetite has been pretty stable but in the last 2 weeks my stomach is growling obnoxiously every 2 hours. I also crave mashed potatoes. Random.

Symptoms: I feel really good (and lucky because of that). There was a girl in our Multiples class who is pregnant with twins and her due date is 5 days after me---she already feels horrible, bad swelling, high blood pressure, etc. She mentioned that she will most likely go on bed-rest next week. It made me feel so thankful to be feeling so good at this point.

Best Moment of this past week: The Multiples Class, putting together the snap-n-go stroller, taking the car seats out, getting organized at home. Getting prepped to set up the nursery.

Looking Forward to next week:Taking my glucose test on Monday--haha, not really. But it means we are getting closer and closer to the arrival of these babies! Also, I'm headed to Louisiana on Wednesday night--I can't wait to see family and friends.
