24 - 25 Weeks

23, 24, and 25 weeks

At our 24 week appointment everything looked good! The babies are growing like weeds – both Baby A & B weighing in at 1lb 10oz each. So 3.25lbs of babies total. They both move quite a bit, but I feel 

Baby A more than Baby B due to the placement of the placenta (anterior). They both switched positions this past two weeks and after 4 weeks of being breech, they are now both head down. Heartbeats are still in the 130s – 140s. 

 

I will continue appointments every two weeks and will do my gestational diabetes test within the next 4 weeks. Hope I pass! I don't want to do the 3 hour one like  I had to do with Macyn. It's hard to believe that in 11 weeks (or about 75 days) these little peanuts will be here. Definitely starting to get excited. I don't think the whole "twin" thing will hit me until the doctors hand me both babies. Macyn has named them Minnie and Daisy and will refer to them by their "names." I hope she isn't too disappointed when she realizes we aren't actually naming them that :)

 

I have gained 20 lbs and have consistently been gaining about 1lb per week for the past six weeks. Heartburn is still a challenge, but I seem to manage. I am still sleeping okay, but it gets super hard to get out of bed! Small tasks make me tired, but I guess this is completely normal. My doctor said its due to all the hormones, and since I have double the hormones, it means I get tired way faster. So our yesterday trip to Target and Sams pretty much wore me out. Towards the end of the week I can definitely tell I am getting run down. I take lots of breaks from doing chores, but I still seem to get them done (with DH's help too!)
