25 and 26 Weeks

Week 25:

How far along: 25 Weeks
Total weight gain: 21 pounds
Maternity clothes: yep- and even those are getting a little snug :)
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Not bad this week- Clay says I kick him a lot during the night
Best moment of this week: Healthy doctor appointments. At the regular doctor I had my glucose screening test first thing Thursday Morning. The midwife checked their heart rates and everything was good. The next day I had an appointment at the specialist and they were finally able to see all of the baby boy's heart. Everything looked good!
Miss anything: being able to shop in regular stores :)
Movement: everyday they are moving more and more
Food cravings: nothing in particular
Anything making you queasy or sick: still bad smells
Have you started to show yet: Yes I am measuring "30" weeks on a normal scale
Gender: Girl and Boy
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: Starting to poke out on one side
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: Overall pretty happy, with a few moody moments.
Looking forward to: Working on the nursery more! Clay put up the second bed. 
Here's a comparison of week 20 and 25. I would say it's safe to say we are growing. The boy's estimated weight was 1 pound 11ounces and baby girl is 1 pound 8 ounces.

Week 26:
How far along: 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: 22ish pounds
Maternity clothes: found some great deals this week on new dresses
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: For the most part ok.. I am waking up early on weekends (I guess I am getting ready for the future)
Best moment of this week: Clay felt one of them kick real hard and it kind of scared him. It was neat to see him light up when he felt it.
Miss anything: being comfortable laying out at the pool
Movement: The move a lot (like today when I was trying to take a nap)
Food cravings: still nothing specific
Anything making you queasy or sick: strong smelly things
Have you started to show yet: Still growing
Gender: Girl and Boy
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: the left side has kind of popped out
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: this week I was pretty moody.. :)
Looking forward to: Going to the beach with my mom this weekend.

We worked on the nursery some this weekend. I cleaned the floors and we placed the beds where they would go.
We also got the changing table from my parents house. My grandpa made it for me when I was born. As my mom said, "it's been many things over the past 28 years." It was in my bedroom until we moved to Michigan then Ryan had it in his room. After that Dad kept it in his office with all this flies for fly fishing on it. Clay is cleaning it with some oil that restores the wood. I am excited to use it for my babies.
My mom and dad also got us this rocking horse that has made it's way into the nursery as well.
Slowing it is coming together. My mom is almost completely done with the boy's bedding. So excited to get the bedding on and put baskets in the changing table. Mom is going to help me organize everything so far after my shower at my grandma's house in July.

This morning at church was a reminder that these precious babies belong to our Heavenly Father. I am excited I get to be their mom here on earth but thankful that they ultimately belong to God. Looking forward to another week as we move closer to meeting the twins and praising God for the miracle they are!
