22 weeks

22 weeks! I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone so far. Let’s hope this keeps up as the weather starts to get colder and we move into Fall.

Overall, I’m still feeling pretty good. I went for a long (hilly) walk yesterday and it was definitely more difficult than I anticipated. I took my time and everything, but it really took a toll on my energy level and my hips. That’s one thing that is starting to bother me: my hips/pelvis. I notice when I sleep on one side for a while, I have to get up and walk around because my hip hurts. Sleeping was really great for a while, but recently I’ve noticed that I’m waking up about 6 times a night now. Most times, I can fall right back asleep, but sometimes I’m not so lucky.

My little sunshines are doing awesome. The ultrasound went well even though we had a moron for a tech. She made me nervous that Baby B didn’t have an arm, but don’t worry, it does. Baby A weighed in at 15 oz. and Baby B at 1 lb 1 oz!!! They are both measuring a little above average for the week they’re in. This is great news since multiples tend to come early. Grow, babies, grow!

I get more excited every day. I can’t believe Dennis and I are finally going to be parents.  I feel so lucky.  Dennis has been so supportive and amazing through all of this. I feel like our relationship is the best it’s been in years and I can’t wait to see him as a dad. I know he’d do anything for me and he makes my heart melt all of the time. I can’t imagine how wonderful he’s going to be with our babies that he already loves so much.

I have a doctor’s appointment next week and then the baby shower! I will definitely be blogging after those events!
