This past week I finally think I am beginning to understand what all the other pregnant girls have been talking about. I have been having some annoying leg pain all week long. The aches and pains are definitely starting to present themselves, but again, it's nothing that is too hard for me to handle! :)
Here how the girls (and I) are doing as of today!
How far along? 31 weeks
Weight Gain: 25 pounds as of a week ago Friday. I'll find out on Wednesday how much more I need to tack on to that total!
Baby Weight: I'm figuring they are both over 3lbs at this point. I have my next growth scan on Wednesday and will find out for sure!
Fun baby-related activities this week? The people at work threw me a little surprise shower on Friday! It was so nice (especially since about 85% of the people I work with are men!) One of the girls I work with set everything up, and even got a hold of Kevin and made sure he was there too. It was so wonderful of everyone, and they were all SO generous!

Movement: I still get some good kicks here and there, but I think they are starting to get a little crowded down there. Now I feel more rolls and taps than full blown kicks. Although, they definitely like to let me know they are there throughout the day. I realized this week that I am really going to miss this part of pregnancy. I absolutely love feeling them move around.
How am I feeling? The worst part of this prgnancy for me (aside from the morning sickness in the 1st and 2nd tri) has been the acid reflux. It has gotten really bad the past couple weeks, to the point where I REALLY have to watch what kind of food I am eating. Sometimes that even doesn't matter. I seem to get reflux from just drinking water at times.
The leg and back pains have started creeping in this past week as well, and just because of the size of my belly, I've noticed it is a little harder to get around.
All in all though, I really can't complain. This pregnancy has not been bad at all, and I know that keeping those girls in there for another 7 weeks is going to be the best thing for them. :)
What I am looking forward to? Meeting our baby girls. I can't wait! :)
What I’m nervous about: Still nervous about the c-section. As of my last check, Baby B was still breech. I have pretty much prepared myself for one.
Kevin and I watch the show on Lifetime called 'One Born Every Minute', which is filmed at Riverside Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. This is actually where I am going to be delivering the twins. My doctor was on the episode that aired this past week delivering twins via c-section. After watching him do that, I actually felt a little better. I have a great doc and know that I am going to be in good hands!
Here are some pics from my baby shower two weeks ago!

Your mom is super talented! I can't decide which quilt I like best - I had to enlarge them both to see the details, and they're just adorable!
Now I have to know - what was in that long yellow wrapped package at the shower?
She is super talented! The quilts are gorgeous...and as you saw in the nursery pics, we have them both out!
The long yellow packages (from work) were two strollers. It was awesome because we already had the double stroller at home, but these will be nice because they are lighter weight, and if one of us only goes out with one girl, we won't have to lug around the double stroller!
