7 months prego

I'm 7 months pregnant and going strong! Even though I'm getting super uncomfortable, every day the babies are in my belly they grow bigger and stronger :)

Ever since we found out we were having twins, it seems like I see twins and hear about twins every where I go! And it's weird to think in only a few short months they will be here and complete our little family :)


Jonathan praying over our sweet baby girls <3


And listening to them move around in my belly (or at least he says he can hear them moving around).

Now that the babies are getting bigger, it's getting harder and harder to tell if they are moving or if I'm having a contraction. It's amazing how strong the girls are getting and how much you can see them move from outside my belly! 

I feel like my belly is literally starting to stretch as they get bigger - I never had that feeling when I was pregnant with Jayden so I'm not used to it. I've also been wearing support bands to help with the weight. Even though I've only gained about 20 pounds, I feel like my belly is growing and expanding super fast! And since the twins are getting so big, my indigestion and heartburn is getting worse :( It started a few weeks ago, but I'd only get it at dinner time…and now it seems as if I get it with every meal. I now keep Tums in my purse, by my bed and of course in the kitchen. We've been trying to eat dinner pretty early so it gives me enough time to digest my food before bedtime since laying down makes my indigestion worse.


That's right…I <3 my bump!!


How far along: 27 Weeks

Total weight gain: 19 pounds

Stretch marks: None yet

Sleep: It's getting harder and harder to stay comfortable during the night. Since I can't sleep on my back (and normally I'm a back sleeper), I have to rotate from side to side. Also, now I not only depend on my pregnancy body pillow to keep me from rolling onto my back, but now I need it for a pillow for my belly!

Best moment this week: Watching Jonathan pray over my belly and talk to the girls <3

Miss anything: Sleep!

Movement: The past few days they've been rotating more than kicking, but now the girls will kick and punch at the same time, and usually it's right on my bladder!

Food cravings: None this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: None

Belly button in or out: Out

Wedding rings on or off: Still on :)

Happy or moody: Still happy…just tired

Looking forward to: Organizing all of Jayden's baby clothes that the girls will wear. Jonathan brought them down from the attic this weekend so my project this week will be washing and organizing everything!
