20 Weeks Pregnant | Twins

Monday, June 30, 2014

We're officially more than half way there! 
(Full Term Singleton Pregnancies are 40 weeks, Full Term Twin Pregnancies are 38 weeks)
Last week we had another ultrasound and our 19 week checkup, all are healthy and happy!  And we were able to officially confirm genders!!  At our 15 week ultrasound our Dr.s were 90% sure of the sex.  So, it's nice to finally refer to them by their gender rather than by "baby" or "it".  And yes, I'll reveal gender(s) on the blog soon.  I'm feeling good, my appetite is back in full force ~ an extra scoop of ice cream?!  Yes Please!  And I'm finding walking to be super helpful for circulation and my overall well being.  This week was the first week that strangers really commented on my bump.  Even had a couple people say So, due any day now?...ha, not even close.  Brian was able to get away on a fishing trip with his Dad, so I went down to Charleston to spend time with my Mom.  It was fun talking motherhood with her and shopping around town ooing and awing at all things baby...I officially have the nesting bug!  I'm so grateful this pregnancy is going smoothly and everyday it seems more real that our home will soon double in size!  Below are some more highlights from the week:
  20 Weeks Pregnant With Twins

HOW BIG ARE THE BABIES?  Baby A is 10 oz. and Baby B is 8 oz.  They're both around 10.5" long from head to heel, about the size of a banana.

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS THIS WEEK:  They've got working taste buds and they're growing rapidly.

BEST MOMENT OF THE WEEK:  Feeling these two move for the first time!

CRAVINGS:  Peanut Butter Toast for Breakfast, a boatload of Cottage Cheese for a meal and Raspberries for a snack.

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN:  13 lbs

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO:  Finalizing on names and officially starting their nursery.

 

For all you mamas and soon-to-be parents out there, I'd love to hear your must have newborn products!  Comment below with your favorites!

  1. Congratulation on your exciting news! My daughter has 10 year old twins (boy & girl) and is now expecting baby #3 in January --- a complete surprise! She went for a monthly check up today and we heard the heartbeat....the ultrasound reveals only one baby this time! We can't wait to find out the gender!

    Good luck and I can't wait to find out the gender of your twins.

  3. Gorgeous photos! The gender reveal will be very exciting to read as well! I've been told a pack 'n play is really helpful for napping/playing and is easy to cart along when visiting grandparents. I've also heard that the Skip-Hop changing clutch is good to have for day trips (they come in "dad friendly" prints as well), and Bella Tunno stroller blankets are nice to register for.

  5. Congratulations! I remember being told all.the.time that I looked 'due at any moment' when I was pregnant with my twins. With my son, my must-have was a front pack or sling. With twins, having 2 swings/bouncey seats or 2 boppies is a must. Boppies work great if you are breastfeeding. If you have a roomy enough couch, you can set each one in a boppy while you get into position. Congratulations! Twins are SO much fun!

  8. My daughter has 5 month old identical twin boys. She has two mamaroos that are must haves. The boys have just started sleeping all night due to sleeping in these mamaroos. That alone is priceless!
