Double Blessings

In case you haven't heard the big news, we are expecting twins in August! We couldn't be happier to be adding a little sister and a little brother to our family later this summer! It is an understatement to say that our lives have been chaotic since we got the news. We decided to put our house on the market and build a new house all at the same time as well. Thus the lack of blog posts lately. I feel really guilty about it, but this might be the theme for the next year or more as we adjust to life with two new little ones. Here are my belly shots along the way! 8 weeks pregnant with twins... still looking normal but I thought I was starting to show. HA!

Almost 10 weeks... notice the big jump in just 2 weeks

14 weeks

19 weeks

22 weeks

We had our 5th ultrasound today (benefit of having twins is getting to see your babies all the time!). Babies are growing WONDERFULLY! Thank you God! Baby girl measured in at 1 lb 6 oz (which is over the 50% for babies her age) and Baby boy measured in at 1 lb 13 oz (which is over 80% for babies his age). This means that both of them measured further along than we currently are (which is just under 24 weeks). The doctor told me that their weights are "impressive", especially considering the fact that they are twins (which typically means they are smaller). Baby B (the boy) had switched positions from our last ultrasound at 20 weeks. Baby girl is head down and curled up in the lower right hand corner of my belly and Baby boy is lying transverse across my belly... his head by his little sister's feet, back running right under my rib cage and then legs/feet hanging down into sister's face. They were consantly kicking each other during the ultrasound :( Poor peanuts are squished! But of course the boy is hogging all the space and taking up 2/3 of my tummy area! My love for them is already overwhelming me. They are the most amazing little blessings in the world! I'm so glad that God gave us this unexpected journey!
