Week 24 Update

It's Week 24 which means it's time to check how the buns are cookin'!  We went to the regular doctor & the sono doctor today and all is well.   The regular doc visit was just that-- a simple check up & check in.  I've gained a total of 24 lbs. now.  Eegads!

The sono appointment is much more fun as we get to see the babies in action.  They are both doing very well.   Baby Girl is weighing in at 1lb. 9 oz. and measuring 3 days ahead of schedule.  Baby Boy is weighing in at 1 lb.  8 oz.  and is 1 day ahead of schedule.  Last appointment, they were under a pound each so they've gained quite a bit of weight too!

They have become little jumpin' beans lately.  I feel them moving a lot more now.  Yesterday I'm pretty sure they thought they were in a bounce house.  Apparently they got worn out because today they were much quieter.  LOL.

We had a pretty quiet week around here-- no major purchases or projects.  I got the curtains up in the nursery and put in the few final pieces.  Now all we really have left are the mobiles.  We also started interviewing nannies.   We've found a good candidate who we like and hope it works out.  It would be a huge help to have someone come into our home rather than drop them at care!  Both for the babies' health and our peace of mind.  Plus, I'm imagining that dropping them at daycare would add at least 2 hours to my morning.  LOL.

I'm definitely showing more.   Obviously, my friends & family are really concerned about my self-esteem, as these are the comments I've heard in the past week:  "I noticed you're moving a little more slowly these days!" (co-worker)  "Yep, she's got the waddle."  (co-worker)  "You know, it's kind of beyond a 'bump' now, wouldn't you say?"  (Dad)  "Oh, look, it's coming around the sides!" (Matt)   As always, I don't know how I'd do it without all of you...  :)

Thanks for checking in & have a great week!
