20 weeks...

How big are they: Baby Center says...Your babies weigh about 10 1/2 ounces now, but they were already 11oz last week. They are also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana.

Maternity Clothes: I got 2 new pairs of jeans. One is a pair of skinny jeans that I can tuck into my boots. They look super cute.

Weight Gain: About 11#'s I need to gain another 9# in 8 weeks or so.

Belly:I feel a little bigger yet again.

Stretch Marks: Haven't really noticed anything major.

Sleep: Still up quite a few times to go to the bathroom. I've also been tossing and turning a lot...

Best Moment of the Week: We got the new carpet in their room. Now it actually looks like a room. We are going to buy their cribs with Todd's Grandpa Earl this weekend. I will post pictures once the cribs are up.

Movement: They have been active and not at times. The ultrasound tech said that they were using me as a pillow a lot, and unless the get their little legs out to the side it's hard to feel a lot of movement. They are pretty squished in there already.

Symptoms:I am feeling a bit more pain in my hips etc. but nothing major.

Food Cravings: Nothing this week.

Gender: Two little buddy boys...

What I Miss: I'm still missing Eleanna. She'll always be my only little girl...

What I'm Looking Forward to: Getting their cribs set up and just being able to hang out in their room.

Weekly Wisdom: 8:30pm is a great time to go to bed.

Milestones: This is the 20th week. Soon I'll be entering uncharted territory...

Emotions: I'm just trying to focus on the exciting part of reaching this point. Of course there are parts of me that wonder what's going to go wrong this week.

19 Weeks

These pictures did not scan really great, but you'll get the idea...

How big are they: Your babies weigh about 8 1/2 ounces each and measure 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. They actually measured 11oz.

Maternity Clothes: I ordered more pants. They should be here early next week.

Weight Gain: About 11#'s I need to gain another 9# in 8 weeks or so.

Belly:I feel a little bigger yet again.

Stretch Marks:I'm thinking that there are more, but not too bad. Although, I have been reading that a badge of honor for twin Mom's is Twin Skin...nice... Good thing I was never into wearing bikini's... :)

Sleep: These last couple of nights have been rough, but I have caught a cold. So, it's hard to get comfortable.

Best Moment of the Week: I'm thinking today will be a great day we have our long ultrasound so we'll get to see the boys in action for about 2 hours today.

Movement: They have been pretty active. 2-4 pm seems to be when the are most "busy"...

Symptoms:Nothing really. I do think that I have been having a few braxton hicks contractions.

Food Cravings: Right now I can't get enough juice.

Gender: Two little buddy boys...

What I Miss: I'm still missing Eleanna. She'll always be my only little girl...

What I'm Looking Forward to: We will be going to pick out our cribs soon. The carpet in their room will be put in on Monday.

Weekly Wisdom: Take time to rest when you feel icky.

Milestones: We are 1/2 way there, or maybe even closer to the big b-day. Sometimes it seems to have gone by quickly, but sometimes it seems to be dragging on.

Emotions: I have to admit making it to this point is bitter sweet. All along I been comparing Eleanna's posts to my new posts. There are no more update posts for her after this point. I still miss her so much. I know she's here watching over all of us. It's so hard when sometimes I feel like I should be doing more to honor her each day. I hope that doing what ever I can to get her brothers here healthy and happy is enough.

18 Weeks

How big are they: Head to rump, your babies are about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and they weigh almost 7 ounces.

Maternity Clothes: I need some more pants. I'm hoping to get some soon.

Weight Gain: Not sure my next appointment is the 23rd.

Belly: My bump seems bigger this week. I've had less round ligament pain in my lower abdomen. I think that everything has all popped out of that area and has moved farther up. This is causing more heartburn though...

Stretch Marks: Just the ones I've always had. I can't really tell at this point.

Sleep: I'm still getting up a couple times at night. I've been going to bed earlier like 8:30pm so I usually get up one time before midnight and once around 3:00 am.

Best Moment of the Week: We picked out blue paint for their room. Todd has it up on the walls Hopefully we'll get our new carpet in soon.

Movement: They we kind of quiet for a few days. But, at the beginning of this week started wiggling to point where I could feel it again. I love it. I can't wait for Todd to feel it too...

Symptoms: I have had nose bleeds and congestion Morning and night. Not too fun, but not too bad either. I'm not completely sure but I think I've been having a few Braxton-hicks contractions from time to time.

Food Cravings: Nothing really, but I do seem extra hungry again.

Gender: Two little buddy boys...

What I Miss: I'm still missing Eleanna. She'll always be my only little girl...

What I'm Looking Forward to: I'm looking forward to our next ultrasound on the 23rd. I can't wait to see how big they have gotten.

Weekly Wisdom: Take some tissues to bed with you. You don't think you have to blow your nose before, but once you lay down...you will...

Milestones: We've started getting their room together.

Emotions: Excited to be going to our next ultrasound, and still excited about their room.
