Belly: Big and feels like it is sitting lower to me (as in I sit down and it rests on my thighs, kind of low!)
Belly comment of the week happened when I was riding up the elevator on the way to my OB appointment. Two nice Harley riding gentleman happened to be in the elevator when I got on. One of them loudly exclaimed,you look like you could "hatch" any second! He then kindly asked if I could please wait to deliver until after they got off on their floor. I so badly wanted to feign going into labor just to give them a little scare ;)

Sleep: Same as last week. Hard to get comfortable with a beach ball belly and two little ones moving away on either side!
Best moment this week: Hanging out with Bennie-boy. I am enjoying our last few weeks together before life starts to really change!
Food cravings: Cold beverages again, I feel like a camel! Also, Trader Joe's has these delicious chocolate, sea salt almonds that I can't get enough of (thanks Jess for the introduction!)
Gender: Feeling boys again this week. No particular reason, I just think I am used to boys after raising Ben for the last 4.5 years.

Labor Signs: No change this week, exam at the doctor looked good!
What I miss: Hmmm, things this week have started to get a little tougher as far as the physical portion of being pregnant. I have heard of many twin mamas hitting the so-called "wall." I think I am there. I miss moving around with little effort and not getting exhausted by small tasks. I feel terrible complaining about anything pregnancy related, but honestly, carrying two babies has not been easy on my body.
What
I am looking forward to: Finishing up the final preparations around the house. We are almost there and the house is looking like we could welcome two babies very soon!
Milestones: Another week down, every day that passes means the babies will be born stronger and healthier and for that I am very, very thankful!
