twinpack: 22 weeks


How far along? 22 weeks (compare to 22 weeks with my son here)

Maternity clothes? yes

Stretch marks? nope

Sleep: sleeping all night more often than not 

Best moment this week: being in our house, trying to get everything decorated and settled

Miss anything? not intensely 

Movement: yes, a lot more this week

Food cravings: still similar to my last pregnancy, when i see or hear about something and it sounds really delicious, i have to get it soon because i can't stop thinking about it.

Anything making you queasy or sick: just strong smells make me feel kind of queasy. like foods with a strong aroma, perfume/cologne, cleaning supplies, etc. 

Genders: a boy and a girl!  

Labor signs: it's too early for this question

Symptoms: growing pains, being uncomfortable 

Differences at this point between your singleton pregnancy and twin pregnancy: physical discomfort and getting tired easily

Belly button in or out? in/getting flat 

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or moody most of the time: depends on who you ask ;) 

Blood sugar: i see dr awesome soon, things are still relatively calm

Looking forward to: deciding on both names (sister has a name, brother has a partial name) and getting the nursery put together

Bitch of the week: it is NOT NICE or funny to audibly laugh when i walk past you. it's a good thing i have trained myself to keep my mouth shut.
