Week 25: The babies are the size of eggplants.
Hello 25 weeks! That means we are 6 months down and only 3 to go!! It is hard to think that we are well over half way to seeing these boys on the outside and getting to snuggle them. I cant wait to see what the little ninjas look like, and what features they took from each parent.
The babies are growing and so is the bump. Looking back on the last time I was 25 weeks with twins, I definitely feel bigger and maybe lower but I have heard that boys seem to be carried lower. And last time I only gained about 25 pounds (they said to expect to gain 35-50 with twins), while this pregnancy I have gained about 20 pounds so far which is right on track to where we should be. I am focusing on listening to my body, and the boys, and resting when needed to make sure we can keep these boys cooking as long as possible!
What's going on in there? This week their reflexes are developing. Baby fat is coming! Even though the boys are still lean, they are slowly putting on pounds and losing that wrinkly appearance and should now be reaching 13 inches (over a foot long!) in length and more than 1 1/2 pounds in weight.
Next appointment: 4/20/2021 ultrasound and diabetes screening
Feeling: Feeling good! Getting a little less sleep since I wake up every couple of hours to switch sides from sore hips but I can still get comfy most of the time. I run out of breath a little easier but I’m assuming that is from Banana expanding his apartment in there, and pushing my lungs out of the way. All as expected around 25 weeks!
Weight: 178 lbs
15 weeks to go! (13 weeks until the 38 week mark!)
