I missed posting last week, but I didn’t miss the pictures. Notice the bunnies have nibbled my sign!  

Last week’s excitement was that I had my glucose test- it didn’t taste nearly as bad as I expected.  More like bad Gatorade.  Luckily the test came back normal, so I can go ahead and keep eating lots of chocolate.

This week is the last of my second trimester- the babies are the size of cauliflower, and they can open their eyes now.  Some doctors think they can dream now too, due to increased brain activity and development.  What they would dream about is beyond me… probably more sounds of beating hearts and images of umbilical chords? 

According to my doctor, I’m measuring 32 weeks, so hopefully they’re getting nice and fat in there!

It’s week 25, and after trying and failing for weeks to get their kicks and rolls on film, I finally caught them with my camera.  Here is a link where you can watch their antics.

And here are the 25 week pictures:

I’ve missed a week since we were busy traveling back to AZ!  We were quite the circus in the airport, and our cavalcade was composed of lots of bags, a pregnant woman, two bunnies, and a cat.  And Joshua, who had to carry all the bags and the cat because all I could really handle were the bunnies!  We all made it, safe and sound.

I missed the week 23 post, but here are some pics:

Last week we had a doctor’s appointment and another ultrasound.  We got some cute pictures out of it 🙂  The boy was measuring 1 pound 7 ounces, and the girl was 1 pound 3 ounces.  So we have a big brother and little sister!

Baby boy!

Baby girl!

Life is getting much more interesting as I get further along.  When I can sleep, I have lots of crazy dreams (I dreamed that a friend found an orphan baby seal, and our bunny Pitu decided to be it’s adopted mother).  I also have to learn to negotiate around furniture, people, etc. with the new appendage that is my stomach.  

The babies can now hear distinctly, and their inner ears are developed, which means they can tell if they are upside down or right side up!  They are still moving a lot, and sometimes I feel like they might be practicing their boxing moves on one another.  They are now the size of a corn cob or a cantaloupe- whichever you like best, I guess!

Week 24 pictures:

 It’s pretty clear they are growing fast!  Lucky us- our families have been spoiling us with plenty of good food!
