How big are B&G? Last growth scan Biscuits weighed in at almost 3lbs and Gravy was at 2.5lbs. They were around the 45th percentile. I'll take it!!
B&G's Health? Good for the most part! Gravy'd fluid was measuring a little high today. Of course it could mean a whole bunch of things or more than likely, nothing. Dr.S doesn't seem too concerned at this point. He says we just need to watch it.
Health of Momma? My blood pressure is still looking good! My cervix has shortened some but that's normal at this point. I'm still well above 2.5cm which is great! My feet has started to swell when I don't wear my compression socks so even though I look ridiculous, I'm trying to be better about it. I really HATE the way they feel when they get all swollen.
Weight gain? 17lbs - slowly but surely. I'm definitely eating more sugar than I'd like but some days I just NEED a slushy!
Weird Cravings? Watermelon slushies from Sonic. Really mostly the ice part. Really mostly ice. That and Audrey's Flinstone's vitamins...I think I might have an iron deficiency...
Stretch Marks? Shockingly, I still don't have any stretch marks. I guess I'm just lucky.
Skin? I've definitely noticed more blemishes but still NOTHING compared to my pregnancy with Audrey. Full disclosure though, the face wash and moisturizer I am using this go around is about 6X more expensive than the cheap Walmart stuff I used to get away with. I tell myself that's the difference nut who knows.
Hair? SUPER THICK! I sure wish it would stay that way...

Sleep? This could be so much worse. A friend of mine loaned me her pregnancy pillow but I'm not sure it's for me. With my back issues sleeping in one position all night makes me stiff. This pregnancy pillow contraption really keeps you in one position all night. So while I'm nice and comfy to fall asleep I wake up sore. I might go back to my strategically placed cloud pillows.
Best moment this week? We went to the drive-in again! It's just really fun. We didn't last for the whole movie. No amount of blankets and pillows can make a pregnant lady comfortable in the trunk of a minivan for long. BUT it's such a fun summer family activity.
What I miss? Wine.
What I am looking forward to? We have a lot fun things planned this summer! Really though, I just want these babies to get here already. I am already so done being pregnant.
Weekly wisdom? This is the BY FAR hardest thing I have EVER DONE. Are you a twin? Do you know a twin mom? Tell her thank you and give her a hug.
Milestones? We are in to the third trimester people!!
Fears? How much harder is this going to get?..?..
