25 weeks

How big are they: Baby Center says...

25 weeks: Baby is the size of a rutabaga

Your baby rivals the average rutabaga in weight -- about 1 1/2 pounds. (Length: 13 1/2 inches, head to heel.)

If I had to guess...I'd say they are over 2 pounds this week. They weighed 1 1/2 pounds each at 23 weeks.

Maternity Clothes: I know a lot of people say that they don't like maternity pants, but honestly I love them. I love that despite my large belly I can find pants that fit my legs. I mean seriously in "regular clothes" they think that if your waist is size 14-16 than you have huge thighs...not always the case. Also a tip if you are having issues keeping your maternity pants up get a maternity belt...it not only helps your back but you can put it over the panel on your pants and it keeps them from sliding down. Of course you have to take the belt off every time you go to the bathroom, but the added benefits are worth it to me.
Weight Gain: I have a Dr. appointment today so we will see where I'm at.

Belly:I feel more huge every week. Those boy are definitely growing in there.

Stretch Marks: Haven't really noticed anything major.

Sleep: I've had a few rough nights. Last night I woke up with my stomach growling.

Best Moment of the Week: Everyone really likes the last ultrasound pictures I have. There were a whole bunch of "older" ladies at church are all amazed by them. It's so fun sharing our little one pictures with them.

Movement: They keep moving more and more. You can see them move from the outside from time to time.

Food Cravings: Lemonade

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: All of it really I can't believe that they could be here in 10 weeks or so.

Weekly Wisdom: It's important to rest...

Milestones: We've hit 25 weeks; yet another step closer to having health babies.
