Our Family Update - 24 weeks

Here are some of the pictures Jason and I took today. I want to thank him for being such a great sport and spending so much time trying to get the right shots; it's still hard trying to take pictures of ourselves! Hope you enjoy!

24 Week Update

• During Thanksgiving (23 weeks), Gavin and Wyatt were moving like CRAZY!! It's amazing at how strong they are getting. Then that Tuesday after Thanksgiving, I could tell I started to grow a whole lot faster. The boys became calmer (although still moving plenty) during this growth spurt as well. Just yesterday they started to move more and today they've been having a ball again. I love just sitting and watching my stomach move. No longer does it take a strong kick to get them moving, but a simple movement sends my tummy rolling! They are so strong and I can tell are getting so big. I have another dr appt this week and look forward to seeing them again!
• I've been having some issues with my sciatic nerve this past week, as well as heart burn. I've also been a lot sleepier the past week which has been great seeing how I couldn't sleep much the month before. Laying down is uncomfortable until my body gets used to it. Half way through the night, I normally get pretty comfortable enough to just sleep.
• I haven't been as hungry lately which is also nice! Still eating healthy, but not starving. The doctor said I gained weight too fast last month, but honestly, there is not much I can change to avoid that. After spending some time stressing about it, both Jason and I agreed that it was best for me to stick with my current good habits instead of risking not proving enough for our babies. This month the weight has been increasing normal, which is good! Guess the boys and my body just go through phases.
• We put up Christmas decorations inside and love the way the house looks! As we put up the tree, I couldn't help but smile and cry as I thought that this time next year we'd have 10 month old lil' boys helping us decorate and admire the tree!
• I've been enjoying making a scrapbook to record our 'journey through infertility and pregnancy'! So far I've done about 5 pages and really like how it's coming along! Using my Cricut is wonderful... so much easier than doing it all by hand like we used to have to!
