Our babies are still very small, about 1.5 pounds and about 13 inches long -- although we'll get their exact measurements this week.
Total Weight Gain: 160 lbs (so about 27 lbs gained).
Maternity Clothes: All maternity pants. Very few of my non-maternity tops cover my belly, so pretty much in all maternity tops as well. Even wearing some maternity shorts that a good friend gave me :-)
Sleep: Some positions are starting to get uncomfortable for me or the babies, so I end up rotating alot in my sleep. And I'm still waking up at 2am to take my medicine.
Best Moment This Week: My cervical length went from 26-25...so roughly about the same. The doctor was very pleased to see this. My glucose test came back at 104 -- over 140 is considered abnormal and additional testing is needed for a definite diagnosis. So although my results didn't raise any concern for diabetes, the doctor said that I should increase my sugar intake to fatten up our babies. No problem there, Doc!

The best part of the week, however, was our baby shower. This was our first of two showers that we are having -- this one for family and another one for friends. Jared's parents hosted it and they did such a wonderful job!! It was held at at Hendel's Market Cafe -- a very quaint restaurant that was a perfect setting for this event. It was great to be able to share this day with both of our families. They served crabcakes, chicken brushcetta, and chicken salad sandwiches -- all were delicious! The cake was absolutely adorable too! We ate and played a couple games and then Jared and I opened our gifts. Everyone was so generous - we got onesies, bibs, pacifiers, bath stuff, a diaper bag, a mobile, a stroller, and so much more! Our boys are so blessed! Everything about the day was perfect!
We also got a sneak peek of our maternity shoot from last week. Here is one of the pictures that I really liked. Can't wait to see the others!
Movement: The boys are actively kicking -- mainly during the evening and early morning.
Looking Forward To: I have my weekly appointment with Dr. Paul on Thursday -- hoping for the good news to continue! Plus we get their new weights -- hopefully, they are ahead of schedule!
