Week 22 has been a great one so far. Baby kicks are the most amazing thing. Whenever I am having a bad, one of the babies will kick me and I can't help but smile. I have two little miracles growing inside of me, life can't be too bad. The other night I had a Slurpee and the Twinjas went crazy, kicking up a storm. Caleb and I could actually see the kicks. Michael was at work so he missed it :(
This week the babies are about 11 inches long and should weigh about 1 pound each, about the size of a papaya. They're starting to look more like their newborn selves. They are sleeping in cycles for 12 - 14 hours a day.
Mommy is doing well I have more energy, but I am more uncomfortable. It is harder to do things, like picking up things off the floor when I drop it or getting clothes out of the washer machine. By the time dinner time comes around I feel like I don't have any room left for food. Sometimes I have trouble catching my breath.
