How big are Frick and Frack? The internets tells me 14 inches long. According to their growth scans they are trucking along in the 45th and 46th percentiles. Fingers crossed we can keep it that way. Somewhere in the 40's or 50's is ideal, I aint trying to have two tiny babies but I'm not trying to carry 15lbs of baby either. a good solid 6lbs or so is what I'm looking for!
Frick and Frack's Health? Everything looks great! Our anatomy scan showed no abnormalities, which felt pretty abnormal for me. I kept asking, "You sure? Nothing we need to keep on eye on? No bright spots? No missing bones? NOTHING?" Everyone still has plenty of fluid and no one is trying to make an early exit.
Health of Momma? Welp. last week I took and failed the one hour glucola test, the one for gestational diabetes. So on Monday I got to take the three hour test. I bitched and moaned about it for three straight days but I did pass. I just hate that it makes you feel like shit for twenty four hours. There is plenty of good news on the health front though. My blood pressure is still behaving itself and my cervix is still nice and long. It looks like these babies and my body might actually cooperate long enough to avoid any serious NICU time *knocks on ALL THE WOOD.
Weight gain? 16 lbs - growing at a pretty nice slow steady rate. crossing my fingers it stays that way.

Stretch Marks? Miraculously, I still don;t have any stretch marks. I do massage my belly every night before with these magical massage bars. Really just because it feels good. It relaxes me and the babies. I just bought two new ones because I used up the two I had. They smell fantastic.
Skin? It's starting to get a little sketchy. Still nothing like with Audrey though. A few extra blemishes here and there. BUT, weird thing. I've gotten two cold sores the pregnancy. I hadn't gotten one in years.

Hair? Super thick! It's greasy but I'm so happy to have hair again and don't even care!
Sleep? Well I'm up to two cloud pillows these days and for the most part can get comfortable to fall asleep. It takes a while but I've got a routine down. I have been having a lot of really vivid dreams though, Usually bad dreams too. It really sets me up for a crummy day to wake up scared and upset. Why can't I have super vivid sexy time dreams? Now that's a way to wake up!
Best moment this week? Passing my diabetes test! That would have been the last thing I freaking needed.
What I miss? anything below my waste. Shaving is getting tricky...
What I am looking forward to? Audrey is officially moved into her big girl bed! Now I just need to make the sheets for the twins and get the dust ruffle washed and ironed. I can't explain it but I'll feel better once they have a place to sleep.
Milestones? I turned 35! I'm officially considered AMA (advanced maternal age).
Thing I'm thankful for? I had a great Birthday! JJ took the day off and the three of us went to the children's museum. Audrey LOVES it! Then we got ice cream at Ted and Wally's. That night we met everyone for dinner at La Mesa. I'm a lucky lady folks!
