30 Weeks!!

Something about being at 30 weeks has really made me feel like we've hit a big milestone. I know that getting to 34 weeks is critical and that 37 is ideal, but wow! The average set of twins is born around 36 weeks- time to get the hospital bag packed!! Ok, if I'm being completely honest, I've kind of been getting things put aside for it for a few weeks now. :) It's just how I'm wired... I'm a planner and I'm excited!

Over the last week it's been a bit rough with my emotions; not going to lie. It's a bit nerve racking to think that in a few short weeks we won't have just one, but TWO newborns at home. Thank God I have a husband who is patient with me!

Over the last few weeks I literally cannot remember anything. I have the worst 'mommy brain' which I'm told doesn't go away or get any better after the babies are born. In fact, as I'm typing this, I can't remember if I've already mentioned my lack of memory in prior posts. If I did, let's just pretend like this blurp didn't happen. :)

All in all, feeling good still! And by "good," I mean hot, puffy and tired.

What's Happening in My Body?: The twins' eyesight continues to develop. Each baby will be packing on weight at the rate of 1/2 a lb every week for the next 7 weeks. The babies can now regulate their own body temperature which means they are now shedding the lanugo (the downy body hair that has been keeping them warm until now).

Each Baby Is Now the Size of: a Large Cabbage
