Week TWENTY FIVE

Week 25

How far along: 25 weeks 

How big is baby X2: Baby A is a little over 2lbs, Baby B is almost 2 lbs

Weight Gain: hahaha, who knows?!? (It's best to not look at the scale)  

Sleep: Getting a good nights sleep is becoming harder and harder.  Last night before bed I was having the worst pain in the right side of my back, I was almost in tears.  Heath was able to rub my back with Icy Hot and it helped a lot.  A body pillow is my saving grace since I love to sleep on my back, but with pregnancy it is recommended to sleep on your side.  HARDEST THING TO DO. :)

Cravings:  Lately I have been craving a few different things... Swedish fish (colored), Cherry Pepsi or Coke ( I have never been a "normal" pop drinker, mostly a diet coke drinker, I don't want the diet I want the real stuff, and any fruity candy!

Feeling: I am feeling tired!  I am working 4 days a week and its becoming more and more difficult.  This last week I had a patient tell me that he was getting free kicks!  Cleaning teeth is hard to do with a big giant belly, but I am feeling grateful that I am still able to work.  Bed rest would be really hard for me... I'm such a busy body!  My goal is to work through the end of January.

Gender(s): BOYS!!!  SO excited to meet my little guys!

Best Moment of the Week: We had an appointment with the specialist this week and it was so fun to see how much they babies had grown.  When she first started the ultrasound Baby A or B (not quite sure which one) had his mouth open and it was the cutest thing!  We also have a baby that is not bashful at all and loves to remind us each ultrasound that he is indeed a BOY! :)  My sister Jill got to join us at our appointment too which was special.

Missing: Having more energy, exercising more regularly and of course sleeping!

Looking forward to: Christmas! The hubby got Christmas day off this year!  Best Christmas present ever.... AND finishing the nursery.

Random Thoughts:  Next week is my glucose test... considering my cravings... I don't know how this is going to turn out... wish me luck?!?

-Feeling the babies move is THE best thing!!

-Candice and Erin got to feel the babies move last night after dinner ( that's when they are the most active)

-Still trying to fathom having TWO babies! How did we get so blessed?!?
