28 week doctors appointment

Yesterday we had an ultrasound and appointment. Our ultrasound went well...both babies are weighing in at about 3lbs...which is really good for twins. So they are already bigger than I was when I was born (2lbs 4oz) and almost as big as my sister was when she was born (3lbs 6 oz), unfortunately they will not be bigger than John was when he was born (8lbs-ish)
My belly measured about 35 weeks, so I'm measuring about 6-7 weeks ahead. I am starting to feel uncomfortable at times...mostly I just feel big.
We are starting to make final preparations so that everything can be ready by the time I am about 30 weeks because you never know whats going to happen...these little ones will come out whenever they are ready or whenever they think they are ready.

28 weeks

Here are some of the latest belly pictures-28 weeks. Yes the stretch mark monster has attacked me...they are inevitable, no matter what people or products tell you they are genetic and cannot be prevented (although my mom never made it far enough in pregnancy to develope stretch marks apparently both my aunt and grandma had them). You will also notice I have a kind of line going down my belly...this is called linea nigra.

Nursery

We began working on the nursery over the weekend. We received all of our furniture-5 pieces-on Friday and were able to put it all together in 1 weekend without any major incidents...pretty big accomplishment!

Here are a few pictures so far; we will post more when it becomes more organized...we were just excited to get furniture up!

25 Weeks

We recently had our 25 week ultrasound and are happy to report everything looked good! Our little boy is weighing in around 2lbs and our little girl 2lbs 2oz. They are both measuring in the 60-70th percentile for a singleton.
