Size of babies: Approximately 6 inches long, about half a pound each. The size of an heirloom tomato or a mango.
Weight gain: Up 16-18 lbs.
Size of uterus: 6 finger breadths above my belly button, so I think that is measuring 26 weeks? I am going to ask my Dr to measure me exactly at my appointment in a week and a half.
Sex of the babies: Surprises!!! Although the closer it gets to my anatomy scan the more curious I am. I am kind of tempted to get down on my hands and knees and beg my husband at the u/s. But I will try to be strong. It's not even that I have a preference, just curious!!!!!
Baby prep: I have bought a double stroller, one used bouncer, a twin breastfeeding pillow, swaddlers, muslin blankets, and a breastfeeding cover. I also put together the crib and set it up in my daughter's room. Still to buy: bassinets or something for them to sleep in the first 6 months (ish), 2 infant car seats, bottles, breast pump (may have a lead on borrowing one), 2 baby carriers (may have a lead on borrowing one), pacifiers, newborn and 0-3 month clothing (have exactly none!), 1 baby swing, one more bouncer, 2 changing pads, 2 nursing bras, baby monitor....and I'm sure a million other things I haven't thought of yet.
Movement: Yes, yes, yes!!! More pronounced every day. Can't tell it from the outside yet, according to DH.
What I miss: Well of course the selfless line to that one is nothing, and of course everything is worth it. But I would love a few beers along with some sushi. I have been craving both intensely! Also I started getting heartburn this week every evening, luckily Tums seems to help.
Best Moment of the week: Sitting at Disney on Ice with my husband and daughter, and feeling these miracle babies dance to the music!
Worst Moment of the week: The nurse calling me saying the culture from my urine sample from last week showed a UTI, so I am on a 10 day antibiotic course. Luckily I have very few symptoms, just hate having any sort of issue!
