18 Weeks

Today marks 18 weeks, which also means that by the end of this week, I will be half way to June 1!!! The first 18 weeks have gone by fast, but things are starting to grow faster and time is running out.

We went on Sunday to start our baby registry. We decided on Target and Babies R Us and we walked in ready to go! Once we got started, the entire process was extremely overwhelming. While I have no questions on how to love these babies unconditionally, I do have questions about everything we need! The registry bag comes with a "must have" list and we got a "twins-must have" list, which you would think they are preparing us to get in a rocket and go to the moon! 2 of this, 2 of that, 2 of these...REALLY??

Along with the 18 week marker, comes a growing belly, thighs and butt! I am starting to grow out of my beginning maternity clothes already and the sizes are increasing...along with the number on the scale! I'm probably up now 10-15 lbs (depending on the day and time.) Which means I have 35 to go to my recommended goal of 50 lbs! Craving and increased hunger haven't started yet, but I'm sure once they do, that 50 will be easy to get to. But the best thing about getting bigger is knowing that the babies are doing what they are supposed to do...growing! With them growing, it is also making sleeping not as much fun. As a lifetime stomach sleeper, this side sleeping is not nearly as comfortable. I guess they're just preparing me for my future lack of sleep! At least I get to look forward to both of them sleeping next to me pretty soon:)
