17 weeks

How Far Along: 17 weeks

Size of Babies: As of last appt....both babies were 5 ounces.

Total Weight Gain: Let's just say I'm gaining weight. haha Nah....honestly I don't know how much I've gained altogether.

Maternity Clothes: Wearing alot of dresses. {I'm actually tired of wearing dresses.} I'm ready for cooler weather so I can change my wardrobe. :)

Gender: It's one of each! A boy & a girl!!!!!!! We are sooo excited. We're still trying to decide on names. We pretty much have it narrowed down....just trying to figure out the middle names. Picking names hasn't been hard for us. We discuss baby names before we even got married. haha

Movement: Should feel it very soon. Can't wait.

Food Cravings: I have been loving Smithfield's {bbq, french fries & sweet tea -- my husband limits me on the sweet tea...haha} and orange sherbert.

What I Miss: Sleeping on my tummy.


Sleep: Still sleeping with 4 pillows. It's sometimes hard for me to get out of our bed....considering our bed is high up and when I sit on the edge my feet don't touch the floor.

Symptoms now: Cramping mainly on my left side. I also get a few sharp pains here and there. {Probably to much information....but I'll tell anyways....I'm pretty gassy these days! lol} My belly looks wopped-sided alot. I guess those babies are laying all sorts a'ways in there. 
Best Moment This Week: Brandon & I went shopping at Myrtle Beach yesterday with our friends, Chad & Elizabeth. {Pretty obvious Brandon & Chad had fun in Bass Pro Shop. lol}
Today, we went and registered at Target.
{We're gonna register at Wal-Mart too...just didn't have the energy to do it all in one day!}
Next Appointment: Our last appointment was last Friday. It was just a quick checkup. The doctor checked the heartbeats and was surprised how fast he found them. One heartbeat was still slightly higher than the other. Overall, me and the babies are doing great. We're all healthy and we are so thankful. Our next appointment is the beginning of September with the specialist again.
