Total weight gain/loss: Dunno. I have a doctor appointment next Tuesday and I’ll find out.
Stretch marks? Nope, not yet. I am a crazy diligent crazy person about putting on stretch mark prevention cream (I’m using this Bella B Tummy Honey Butter) morning and night. I'm hoping this will help, but I keep reading it's hereditary. My mom didn't get them, but she also didn't have two cooking at once. :)
Maternity clothes? Yep. I think I won’t really need to buy anymore for a while, unless I get way bigger than I think I will. Which I very well might. The only thing I might need is a couple of sun dresses for June/July.
Sleep: So, the snoring thing. I THINK it’s better. I got a humidifier (a super fancy one that can do cool or warm mist), I sleep with those breathe right strips, and an extra pillow to elevate my head. I think it’s working.
Best moment this week: I had a cervical exam on Friday (they have to check it every two weeks since I’m having twins) and I was only expecting them to do that. Instead, I got to see the babies for a good 20 minutes! It was wonderful. :)
Movement: Not yet- but really soon I hope!
Food cravings: Not this week. I continue wanting ice cream, but really, nothing else is a craving. I still think I have more things that don't sound good, rather than cravings. And no, I don’t have ice cream every time I want it. It’s only been a few times, and it’s usually frozen yogurt.
Genders: GIRLS! She confirmed this again at the ultrasound on Friday.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? It's in.
What I miss: Still miss clear skin. And not getting completely out of breath when I climb stairs.
What I am looking forward to: What am I NOT looking forward to??? I’m just so excited about it all.
Weekly Wisdom: I really do have to watch how long I’m out and about and on my feet. I think I’ve kind of been thinking that it was too early to think about that, but on Sunday we were out for many hours and I was on my feet the majority of the time, which included the climbing of many subway stairs. I got home and really didn’t feel good at ALL. So, lesson learned. Won’t be doing that again.
Milestones: We did our registry this week. That was pretty fun! A little overwhelming but mostly fun. It’s not totally done yet, but we’re almost there.
Also, this week, the babies are the size of mangoes- and they weigh ½ a pound each and are 6 inches long! :) That's one full pound and one full foot of baby in there!
