This pregnancy has come with its up and downs and of course its outs! I continue to grow out and although I'm told that I'm not very big, I feel like I am. I've learned to take it easy during the day and take time to rest on the couch. The discomfort that I am now experiencing is that of being 9 months along. I'm feeling some serious pressure down low mainly because twin A is squished down there. When I lay down in the afternoon and especially at night I get the most agonizing pain when I try to stand up.
I'm now 25 weeks and still have 3 months left. I wish that my shear size was an indication of my time left, but right now it's seems that there isn't much of a light at the end of the tunnel. I do know that once the holidays come it will pass by quickly. I have so much to prepare for in terms of getting meals in the freezer and only hope that my body will cooperate while I do that.
On the positive side it's always fun to feel them moving. I can distinguish which baby is kicking me and that seems to fascinate people. I also look forward to my appointments and ultrasounds to see their cute little heads next to each other. It fun to see them all snuggled up, not that they have much choice in the matter, but I can't wait to see how they are with each other in the real world. They boys love to feel my belly and talk to the babies, Liza on the other hand is completely clueless and loves to climb on me. Soon we'll have to suit her up in repelling gear to get around my belly.
I still have random pregnancy dreams that make no sense. I no longer have panic attacks about having twins, it's just the realization that this is really happening to us.
We are (I think) finally settled on name's. It's been hard deciding on them. We don't want them to rhyme or start with the same letter. I'll have to wait and see if through the coming months if S and B actually stick. The tricky part has been the middle name. Making sure is goes with the first name and doesn't make some ridiculous word when the initials are put together. I know I might seem a little weird about it, but I figure these are the names they have to go through their whole lives. There's a lot to think about.
These are the things that have recently been on my mind and I needed a place to put them down. Sorry!

Well you aren't enormous, but I know the feeling. Glad everything's going well with the girls! You've got me curious with the names.
Do you have some good freezer meal recipes? I've been researching them online and asking around. I know some casseroles freeze well while others don't. Email me if you have any suggestions, would ya? :)
I've been thinking about you! Finally I'm catching up on blogging so I'm glad to hear you are doing well and you found out genders. 2 girls!! that is so cute. Happy birthday to Jared, time sure goes by fast.
you're only going to give us S and B? I'm curious, and like your other friend, I'm wondering about freezer meals too. Are you just making your usual family favorites and freezing them, or do you have specific freezer meal recipes. If so, please share.
Also, you are not weird to think about all those things in naming a child. Parents who don't think about all that are the weird ones.
I think it's amazing that you can tell the difference between the girls. It will all come together. Good luck the next few months.
