I have officially tipped the scale of 150 lbs. Being 5"4 this might not be a good thing, but when you are carrying twins it has mixed emotions. It means the babies are growing and that is a good thing. Don't get me wrong as there will come a time when I fear the scale and will no longer step on it and I sense that to be soon.
I am 21 weeks and the nights remind me that I am pregnant. With twins you never know how long your pregnancy will go and there are moments where I fear 38 weeks. I have a two year old who loves to sit on my lap and read books and cuddle, but already those babies are trying to share the space. We are expecting Identical Twin Boys. Making the ratio of our house 1/4. I have a feeling I might have to start paying attention to the sports channel!
It seems like yesterday that I just got married and was starting a phama sales career and living life large with my husband. It is only 5 years later and my life has completely changed to a full time mom status and becoming a family of 5 in a few months. Life couldn't be more perfect right now.
Not with out it's hiccups though so it is so much more appreciated when things are going right. Our most recent hiccup was the Dr.'s measuring our twins and finding one is 35% smaller than the other. This can be alarming for many reasons but the reasons are still undetermined at the moment. We were recently told to come back in two weeks for follow up. We will be 23 weeks then. So on moments when I feel really pregnant like tonight I remind myself of how lucky I am and a little back ache is nothing when you have so much to look forward to.
Signing off to relax and enjoy a movie, rub my big belly, sit with my fantastic husband while my little guys dreams away in bed. Life just can't get better than this. Goodnight.
