Those nasty leg cramps are probably making it tough to get comfortable. One way to ease the pain: Extend your leg and flex your ankle and toes toward your knees. Or enlist your partner for a calf (and back!) massage. Good news: Your now-bulging belly should get you a little more compassion from everyone around you.
Size of baby: Mango
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 9 lbs
Maternity Clothes: pants - yes, shirts - no, maternity shirts fit really weird
Gender: we still think it is two girls but we aren't buying anything gender specific until our next ultrasound on September 8th.
Movement: Yes, pretty sure. It's no kicking just flutters when I sneeze or cough and the feeling of shifting going on.
Sleep: Yes - I'm sleeping very well lately!
What I miss: Nothing really comes to mind. :)
Cravings: rainbow sherbert on hot days :)
Symptoms: growing belly!
Best Moment This Week: I purchased the twins' cribs today. There was a sale on Amazon so I went ahead and made the purchase and they should be here by the end of the month. The grandparents have agreed to each buy a crib. Thanks Gma and Gpa Hall & Marshall!
Milestones: Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil, and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Still, just getting our basement done! With the cribs ordered I'm going to get antsy to set them up once they are here.
