how far along: 27 weeks
how big is baby X2: 10+ inches long and 2.3 pounds each (around this)
weight gain: the same .... A lot! It's all for the babies.
sleep: Last night was rough ( back + hip pain) it is currently 7:00 am and I have already been awake for almost 2 hours but, the 2 nights before were heavenly and I slept great!
craving: not having much of an appetite this week, I have been wanting nesquik chocolate milk and laffy taffys (watermelon flavor)
feeling: So blessed to have healthy babies so far. We got diagnosed with Vasa Previa this last week which can be very dangerous for the babies if it isn't caught, but It will be a challenge that we will be able to face even if I do get to spent some weeks in the hospital, it will be better to be there in case something happens. Its amazing how your body can grown little humans inside your belly. My friend from high school just delivered twin girls at 28 weeks and seeing pictures of her babies brought me to tears... i have 2 of those almost the same size growing inside me!
gender: Sweet baby boys
best moment of the week: Spending Christmas with my husband and family! I love this time of year! My mom and I got to spend the day after Christmas together in Logan shopping for nursery/baby stuff, it was such a fun day!
looking forward to: FIRST baby shower Saturday!! Specialist appointment Tuesday.

-Still taking zofran every other day, only throwing up about 1x per week
-Nursery is coming together! This has been so fun, we found the perfect changing table this week. Pictures to come.
-I hope I will be a good mom!(I have big shoes to fill) This pregnancy has gone by so fast, 7 -8 weeks left MAX!
-feeling so grateful to my heavenly father, I am so blessed to have the family and friends that I do. The Christmas spirit is so real and I have loved feeling it this Christmas season.
April! First of all, you are going to be a great mom!! I don't know anybody as kind and as loving as you. I really wish I lived closer so I could be around more for this amazing experience. These little boys are in heaven watching you prepare for their arrival, and I can imagine how excited and lucky they feel that they picked you! The pain is all worth it in the end. I just love you and your sweet family and I can't wait for the twinners to come!!!
