December

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I've last posted!!  I tried to take some pictures right before church the Sunday before Christmas, but they turned out blury.  I'll do better next time...

The last two are my "20 week" pictures.  I had my 20 week appointment on Monday, New Years Eve and when my doctor measured me he said- Yep, your right on schedule measuring at 24 weeks.  With twins from now on you will measure a month bigger then you really are.  Super.  He also told me that if we didn't already know that I was having twins he would know at this appointment that I was having twins because I'm  measuring bigger.  That would have been quite the appointment.  I had my ultrasound on Wednesday and everything looks great.  Both boys are growing and developing right on schedule with no health problems.  I was very excited to hear that since I can feel one boy move a lot and the other one not as much, so I was a little worried.  But are no issues with either boy and I am still due on May 18th, although I will deliver earlier then that.  I feel really good most of the time.  Every so often I get a major headache from my nausea meds I have to take, so I try to only take them when I have to, and now the headaches are coming less.

Our Christmas was wonderful- Collin got a skateboard and bike that he loves and can not wait for all the dumb snow and ice to melt so he can use them outside.  Landon got a scooter and he thinks he is so big using it in the kitchen.  The both got lots of other smaller toys that have been keeping them busy which has been nice- they are going through a phase right now where they have a hard time playing together for very long before one starts crying or hitting.  So they have lot of personal time right now (so does mommy- I have to just walk away sometimes and breath before coming back to help).  When they are apart they do really well, and are happy and nice.  The other day Collin came out after going to bed and said- mom, I just need to give you one more hug and kiss because I just love you so much.  It was so sweet.  I am really trying to make sure I talk quietly and give the boys lots of hugs and kisses.  I know that everyone just wants to know that they are loved and cared about, and sometimes I forget when they are being good to let them know how good they are.
