Pregnancy Update:

How Far Along: 30 weeks 2 days

Size of Babies: Estimated 2 lbs 5 oz each 2 weeks ago at the growth scan. They are probably over 3 lbs each now.

Maternity Clothes: I am getting a bit too big for most of my shirts, and pants in general are uncomfortable. Bring on the muumuu's!

Genders: We should know in about 6-8 weeks when these little peanuts arrive.

Movement: I feel quite a bit of movement especially at bedtime. I still have a hard time distinguishing which baby is moving unless it is far to the side of my stomach.

Sleep: Sleep? What is that? If i'm not dying of heartburn, I just can't get comfortable. Most days I feel exhausted all day but when bedtime hits I seem to catch a second wind and can't fall asleep. I usually take a nap sometime during the day so i'm getting at least a little bit!

Worries: How am I going to take care of 2 babies at once? I'm also deathly afraid of going into labor too early and having the babies in the NICU, especially because we don't have one so if there's time I will be transported to SLC, if not they will be sent to SLC and I'll have to wait until I'm released from the hospital.

Appointments: I'm going once a week, starting in a few weeks I will have to start having weekly Non-Stress Tests as well.

What I'm looking forward to: Um finding out whether we have boys, girls, or one of each!

Something I've Learned/Realized: Benjamin was right when he said I was going to get "HUGE"


(Today at 30 weeks 2 days)

Babies and a belly!

My doctors office offers 3D ultrasounds as a "gift" to all they're patients. I have been counting down the days until my appointment. At my 18 week scan the tech told me they probably wouldn't be able to get a good picture of both babies, so my hopes weren't too high.

Yesterday when I told the tech I was having twins she warned us that it might be too crowded to get a good picture of either of them. Benjamin told her they don't like to cooperate so we really don't have high expectations.



It was amazing! We got pretty good pictures of both babies.



Here is Baby A:

Baby B:

Baby B had it's hand across it's face pretty much the whole time so you get to see 2 of baby B.



Here I am at 25 weeks:
