Actual 25 weeks

So Yesterday I actually turned 25 weeks...since I am losing my mind and can't keep up with where I am. I just know I am large and getting uncomfortable. This week at my dr appointment, I had some new ultrasounds of the little bambinos. They are growing wonderfully and just swimming around in there. The tech started by looking at Juliet and she is head down, about 1 lb 12 oz and looking good. At first Jace had his bottom in her face....probably indicative of their future selves...:) but by the time the tech went to check him out, he had turned around and they were head to head. :)

 A cute pic if I do say so myself. :) He is 1 lb 14 oz and doing well also. Both of them are good sized and around average. It was fun to see them, Jace waved at us and we got a good pic of him saying "hi!" :)

Here is a great side profile of Jace! Isn't he cute! :) 

Here is a face shot of Juliet. I guess Jace got all the good ones this time. Last time it was Juliet. :) 

I am measuring 34 inches....mind you I am as big and uncomfortable as if I were actually 34 weeks along instead of only 25. Things are getting harder for me to do. Even just climbing into our bed at night, which is way too high, is one of the biggest pains. So you can imagine the fun as I get up to use the bathroom in the night at least 3 times!

I am nesting a bit and one day the house will be super duper clean, then the kids come home and just look at it and automatically everything falls on the floor, doesn't make it into the trash, slides under the table, and dumps out in under 2 minutes. Extremely frustrating since mustering up the energy to do it the first time took all I had.

Sometimes I want to just cry.

Yesterday I went to the store to get groceries and by the time I pushed Ryder and Kason around in one of those racing cart shopping carts and got 2/3 of the groceries on my list, it was time to go. It was all the energy I had to get home and then luckily it was cold outside...I left the groceries in the car for over 4 hrs until Nelson got home so he could bring them in. I just didn't have the energy.

It is hard to believe in possibly 10 weeks we could have two more babies here. When I think of it that way I feel I am definitely not prepared. There is Thanksgiving to do, Christmas, then babies.....and it is going to all fly by. I don't know if 10 weeks is long enough to get my house cleaned!

I know my life is going to change. Each day I just look at Kason and want to love on him all I can, because he won't be getting much when Jace and Juliet come around. He will be fine, just like the others were, but it sure is fun to cuddle him the few moments he lets me. :) If he is anything like Ryder was with a new baby, he won't like me for a good week or two. But Kason actually likes babies, so he may get a little jealous, but I think he will be a great big brother.

So here is to enduring to the end. Mostly just the end of pregnancy, because then I will have a new set of challenges...mostly sleep.

Here are a collection of pictures of me growing.  I thought it may be interesting to see how big my stomach is getting.

August 28th - 14 weeks 6 days

 September 17th - 17 weeks 5 days

October 3 - 20 weeks

November 7 - 25 weeks

Regardless of the circumstances, or of being uncomfortable. It doesn't matter. I am thankful everyday for the blessing of having twins and so excited for them to come! Even if it is to a dirty house! :(
