Total weight gain/loss: Haven't weighed myself since my appointment last week when I was up a total of four pounds in 16 weeks. I should probably track it at home, but I know my scale won't be the same as the doctor's office.
Stretch marks? Nope. I thought I saw some this morning, but it turns out it was just some temporary wrinkles I got on my skin from the sheets. :)
Maternity clothes? Yep. A lot of what I wear is maternity. Dresses, pants, tights, some tops. A lot of my tops still fit, so I'm getting use out of them while I can. I think I'm actually set for a while! I think I have a pretty decent mix of work and casual clothes that will work for quite a while.
Sleep: Well, recently I've started snoring. I hate this for a couple of reasons. One: No one likes to hear that they snore; especially when this hasn't been something you've really ever done. It makes me feel crummy. And two: I can tell that I'm not sleeping as well. I got those breathe right strips, and it helps a little, but Ian informed me that I still snored a little this morning. It's because of all the swelling inside my nose, and all the congestion I have due to super fun pregnancy hormones. It's sort of been plaguing me since almost the very beginning, but must be worse lately; thus the snoring. I'm going tonight to get a warm mist humidifier. I already started sleeping with an extra pillow to raise my head up a little, but I guess I need the humidifier too.
Best moment this week: Not one particular moment, but I love knowing they can hear now, and talking to them when I get the chance.
Movement: Not yet- soon I hope!
Food cravings: Haven't really had any major ones. Ice cream always sounds good, though I've only had it a couple times since finding out I was pregnant.
Genders: GIRLS! We're going in to get another anatomy scan in two and a half weeks, and they'll confirm the sexes again then.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? It's in.
What I miss: I miss when I didn't snore. I also miss clear skin.
What I am looking forward to: Feeling my girls move! Very excited for that.
Weekly Wisdom: Ummmm... I have no wisdom this week. I tried for several minutes to think if I have acquired any wisdom, but alas, I don't think I have. I'll look for more wisdom for next week.
Milestones: Well, I just looked on my "What to expect" app on my iphone, and it appears my uterus is the size of a cantaloupe. I wonder if mine is bigger because of twins? Crazy.
Also, this week, the babies are the size of sweet potatoes. :)
This is what they look like in utero at 16 weeks, so, one week behind where I am now. They didn't have a 17 week picture: 
They can yawn and hiccup now, and they are moving all around; twists, rolls, kicks, punches. Ninja babies!
Happy Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteJust logged on to read the weekly Wednesday post. Love these!
ReplyDeleteSo, it must be something about all the extra blood or just general preggo puffiness, but I totally remember "sheet marks" lasting way longer than normal. I used to think they were stretch marks all the time too.
That's really cool to see the picture of how they are situated inside you. I still can't believe there are two in there!! Yippee!!
