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.
