20 Weeks







How far along? 20 Weeks 5 Days
Maternity clothes?  Yes!
Stretch marks? Only the ones from the previous, so far.
Sleep:  No naps this week but been sleeping like a baby throughout the night!   
Best moment this week:  John finally got to feel some kicks!!!!! We also got to see them again today!  Everything looks great! They looked like they were plotting an escape plan though, they were both head down, silly babies need to stay in there for a while! Their hearts looked good, their cords were pulsating wonderfully, fluid looks aplenty, and placenta looks great. Got to see the lens in Baby B’s eye, that was super cool! Baby A seems to be as lazy as it ever was haha.
Miss Anything? I really had a great week this week so I didn’t have time to miss anything! I guess that’s a good thing!   
Movement: A little more everyday! Daddy finally felt some kicks!     
Food cravings: Really wanted something sweet, but was having trouble trying to figure out what that was.  
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nosir!        
Have you started to show yet?  I’m having TWINS, I’m beyond showing…
Symptoms:  Growing like a weed! Little backache, off balance, constipation this week but nothing 2 and a half glasses of Dr. Pepper didn’t cure- unfortunately that was my first consumption of caffeine throughout this whole pregnancy… I was HYYYPER!  
Gender:  TBA
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? Half exists while the other half, well; it’s been missing for a few days…  
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Super happy this week! 
Looking forward to: The next couple of Dr. Appointments coming up! Things are going by so fast!    
Milestones:  This week, their skin will become covered with a waxy-like substance called vernix, which will protect their skin from becoming scratched or chapped.  They are also starting to produce meconium, the result of digestion, which will accumulate in their bowels and eventually pass during delivery or in their first diaper.  They are approximately 6.5 inches and the size of Small Cantaloupes and weigh around 10.6 oz apiece. 

Thoughts from Daddy: I’m just glad to see them progressing well and healthily every time we return to the doctor.
