20 weeks

Ahhhh some how I managed to skip the last 5 weeks and I am kicking myself for it!  But here I am BACK at 20 weeks.  My motherly intuition was off this time as we are expecting TWO GIRLS!!!!!  I have to say we both were pretty shocked that there was just one girl in there, but when we found out TWO we were overjoyed!  Our little girls do have names: Selah (pronounced say-lah) and Evelyn Grace (Evie Grace).  We are SOOOO excited!

I have an awesome video of our gender reveal BUT it won't upload.  My MIL took this picture which captures the moment well :)

Now on to 20 weeks update: 

How far along? 20 weeks
Total weight gain?  I initially put 30lbs on here just guessing.  Then I went back and actually counted and it is 26lbs (thats what I gained with my boys total...but I am embracing it!!)
Gender: TWO BABY GIRLS!!!!!!!
Maternity clothes?  Um yea pretty much all maternity now.  I am huge!
Stretch marks? Nope.  Thank you mom for those good genes.
Sleep: Getting up about 3 to 4 times a night to go potty makes sleep not so great.  BUT when I am sleeping it is good.
Best moment this week: Going shopping with my mom to get some new maternity clothes that fit.  I was a little emotional on the fourth of July as I couldn't find anything that fit!  No worries my mom to the rescue.  Feeling much better!
Miss Anything?  I still miss sleeping through the night and wearing my normal clothes.  I really miss running as my doctor has taken that away.  
Movement:  These two little girls have become so active in my belly.  Love feeling their little movements.  Don't worry I'm not naive this will get a lot more uncomfortable!
Food cravings:  Eh it seems my desire for anything specific has really become lessened.  I actually seem to not be as hungry either.
Symptoms:  Just some headaches.  I broke down and finally called the doctor.  They called me in something which I am only trying to take when the headaches are really bad.  The headaches I am having are out of control but no worries they are much better now!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nah
Labor signs: I sure hope not!
Wedding rings on or off?  On
Happy or moody most of the time:  I don't think I'm moody just tired often.
Looking forward to:  Getting ready for these two little girls.  We have begun the nursery redo--which I WILL post pictures of!

I went to the doctor yesterday and had an unexpected ultrasound where I got to see the two little wiggle worms moving all around in my tummy.  The nurse took a guess at what she thought the babies were but we won't find out for sure until a little over 3 weeks! Here are two pictures from yesterday:

I'm glad I could make you laugh (SAID NO PREGNANT WOMAN EVER!)

The doctor warned me at my 6 week appointment as soon as we found out we were expecting twins that I would show rather quickly for multiple (haha get it?) reasons.  1. Being my third pregnancy, your body just kind of knows what to do and does it quicker. 2. for obvious reasons...there are two of them 3. I just show quicker in general.

So I was somewhat prepared.  My yoga instructor was the first one to go out on a limb when I was 9 weeks pregnant. NINE WEEKS PEOPLE.  My jaw almost hit the floor when she asked me if I was expecting.  But she's so sweet and I kindly answered her and then explained I am having twins.

Anyway getting to the whole point of this post...I have had multiple people literally LAUGH, GIGGLE, SNICKER...call it what you like at me when I tell them how far along I am.  I was at the splash pad the other and this sweet mom and I struck up a conversation.  She then proceed to ask me how far along I was.  I said "12 weeks" and literally she laughed and then immediately apologized for laughing.

(excuse that I have no make up and that I am making that awful face)

I know I'm big...just try not to stare. :)

I really am in good spirits about it...just had to share!
