From head to toe, these babies are carrots this week :)
We had an appointment today... everything is looking good and is normal :) They finished the anatomy scan and are happy with what they saw. In 2 weeks they'll take their measurements again and get their weights. Paisley is the little ham who loves to have her picture taken... A is the little wiggle worm, so I'm thinking he must be Luke since he's shaking it all the time... And B, well, B is a little stinker who would not cooperate at ALL. Reminds me of someone else I know... *coughDenniscough*
I've gotten a lot of great clothes off of the Facebook buy/sell/trade sites, but today's purchase was definitely the winner... I just paid $80 for a $300 double stroller! It's the stroller we want to connect with our car seats, just a different color - black/tan vs blue/grey. Who cares... it's in excellent condition! It's about 2 years old, and did I mention we basically just stole it?
I'm definitely starting to feel like I'm carrying triplets, though. Every day it gets a little harder to walk, or move in general... and my hips. Sigh. They're all wibbly wobbly when I stand up and it takes a minute for them to figure out what they're doing. However the doctor said that thanks to our good friend progesterone, that is normal... and unfortunately will probably only get worse. Also, 5 weeks of laryngitis now... also apparently attributable to our dear friend progesterone as it's causing a post nasal drip, which is irritating my throat, which is giving me laryngitis. Amber suggests I ground them on this day in 12 years for doing this to me. I agree :)
How far along? 21 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss? About 30 lbs as of our last appointment
Maternity clothes? Definitely
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: meh... Depends on the night
Best moment this week: paying $80 for a $300 double stroller!
Movement: so much more. It's not all the time, but I certainly feel it more often & they're definitely kicks... seems to be more in the afternoon after lunch, and in the evening when I'm relaxing in my chair.
Food cravings: Eating is getting harder, but when I am hungry I've been wanting DQ ice cream cake and waffles lol
Sexes: BBG!

Belly button in or out? In
What I miss most: not feeling awful all the time, being able to move. Energy in general. Dancing!

19 weeks
Time is definitely flying... I can't believe we are 19 weeks already!
The anatomy scan went really well! All three babies are right where they should be, weighing at 9 oz, 8 oz & 9 oz. All of their parts are accounted for and look great. We need to finish the scan on the 18th, but it was very minimal what pictures they couldn't get... just 2 babies need pics of their lips/nose, and more views of the heart (not due to any issues, just standard views.)
How far along? 19 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss? About 25 lbs or so as of our last appointment
Maternity clothes? Definitely, except my maternity work pants are starting to compress my belly too much... the babies are sitting so low, my lower stomach abdomen area is getting too big.
Stretch marks? Not really
Sleep: Meh, depends on the night... but still tossing & turning frequently
Best moment this week: I'm feeling them move so much more!
Movement: Lots!
Food cravings: Still sweets.
Sexes: BBG!
Names: Clinton, Luke & Paisley :)
Labor signs: nadda
Belly button in or out? In
What I miss: sleeping on my belly... Walking... Not constantly feeling like I'm in a furnace - I'd like to go to a summer festival, but I know I wouldn't enjoy it.
What I am looking forward to: Enjoying the rest of the pregnancy... Baby shower next month!
Weekly wisdom: It goes by way too fast... soak it all in.
