24 weeks with the boys!

Today I am 24 weeks and 1 day. I can officially say that carrying twins is really hard work. My feet are already way swollen to where my flip flops are tight. No bueno. Anyway, here is my update.

So tired looking.

how far along? 24 weeks 1 day
how are you measuring? I keep forgetting to ask this question but I will next Tuesday when I go again.
size of baby? According to thebump.com our babies are 10.5-11.8 inches long and weigh about a pound - 1lb4.5oz, the size of a cantaloupe. BUT when I went to the high risk doc last Tuesday he said baby A weighs 1lb8oz and baby B weighs 1lb7oz. Which is great and in the 50% so I am not sure how accurate thebump.com is......I am not sure why I asked the question but I asked how much a single baby would weigh at this point and he said around 1lb7oz - you are in the 50% which is crazy because I have two in my belly and for some reason I just assumed that babies grow smaller as twins.
heartbeat? When I went last Tuesday baby A was 143bpm and baby B was 144bpm 
total weight gain/loss? Too much. The high risk doc wants me to see a nutritionist because she said I am not gaining enough but I am huge. I literally feel like I can't fit anything else in my body. I am eating all the time. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, bedtime snack - always eating.
maternity clothes? Um yes  but let me tell you some of my shirts are getting small! WHAT?!? - still the same as last time.
stretch marks? no new ones but my feet are HUGE. Swollen all day everyday. 
sleep? Not a lot. I am always tossing and turning. My calves and hips hurt so so so bad.
best moment this week? Now when Molly kisses the boys goodnight she places her hands on either side and taps softly (for the most part) and says "wake up brothers I love you". Heart melted.
movement? All the time
food cravings? nothing really. i don't think i have time for cravings. ha
gender predictions? 2 boys! Once everything was pointed out to me there is no mistaking. 
what i miss? sleep for sure. i think I will miss this for the next 2 years.
what I'm looking forward to? My shower this Sunday. My sister and friends are throwing a shower to help me better prepare for these boys. THANK YOU!
how are you feeling? house like..... :/ I have to remind myself that there are two babies in there and it is ok to look like a house right now. My goal is to grow healthy babies and so far so good :) So I will take the house......for now.

Comparison with M at 24 weeks

M These Days

She is hilarious. Seriously hilarious. Here are some of the things she is saying.

Her screaming how much she loves Nutella.

We were all having dinner at my parents house.
M: Do I have curly hair like Papa? (I have been telling her that is where she got it from.)
Me: Yes, you are correct.
M: (looking at my dad) It looks like he might be missing some.
I died - it was hysterical.

She will NOT take off this dress. Always a princess!

Danny is rocking Molly to bed and she is trying to take his toothpick out of his mouth but he is moving it around not letting her take it.
M: Honey, honey. I need that.

Molly getting out of her bed after we tucked her in.
M: Hey daddy, it's me Molly. Can you come up here?

22 weeks prego with twins!

how far along? 22 weeks 3 days
how are you measuring? HUGE. I just went to the doc this past Monday but I forgot to ask. I was measuring 28 weeks when I was 19 so I am sure much larger by now.
size of baby? According to thebump.com our babies are 10.5 inches long and weigh about a pound, the size of an spaghetti squash or papaya
heartbeat? When I went on Monday baby A was 143bpm and baby B was 144bpm 
total weight gain/loss? I think I have gained about 25 pounds which is as much as I gained with Molly in the whole pregnancy! I am supposed to gain 52 lbs with twins. Kinda freaks me out..... 
maternity clothes? Um yes  but let me tell you some of my shirts are getting small! WHAT?!?
stretch marks? just my leftovers - no new ones.....yet - hallelujah
sleep? I wake up to go to the bathroom twice a night and I remember how much I am not a side sleeper.
best moment this week? watching Molly tell the boys goodnight. She lifts up my shirt rubs my belly and gives each side of my belly a kiss then says night night little brothers. cutest thing ever!
movement? Oh yes! These boys are active. Every time I go to the doc they say how active they are.....not the best sign for me in the future. yikes!
food cravings? nothing really. i don't think i have time for cravings. ha
gender predictions? 2 boys! Once everything was pointed out to me there is no mistaking. 
what i miss? sleep for sure. i think I will miss this for the next 2 years.
what I'm looking forward to? My long visit with the high risk doc is next week where they measure everything so they can give me very accurate stats of the babes.
how are you feeling? large and in charge!

Just because it is fun to compare.

And that shirt won't go all the way over my belly anymore.
