28 Weeks

       This past Friday marked my 28th week in pregnancy. I love this time in pregnancy when you aren't too uncomfortable and you can feel the babies kicking and moving constantly. Since I am pregnant with twins my doctor wants to induce at 37 weeks so it is insane to think I have less than nine weeks! I am so ready to meet these little guys and ready to see Brooklynne become a big sister.
      Sometimes I have these moments when I just panic thinking about a toddler and two newborns in our home. Thoughts about feeding two or burping two or ever leaving the house again pop into my mind, but I am able to calm down pretty quickly just thinking about all those sweet newborn moments times two.
      This pregnancy is still a breeze compared to my first. The hardest part has become how heavy my belly feels. At the last ultrasound it was estimated that Josiah was about 2 pounds and Grayson was about 1 pound 14 ounces. This was a few weeks ago so it's safe to say that combined they are four pounds or over. when Brooklynne was born she was 4 pounds exactly so it feels so different this time. Naturally, my stomach is much larger this time. At 28 weeks I am bigger than I ever was with Brooklynne and I am completely okay with that! Comments are already coming from strangers when they ask how far along I am and think I am bigger than I should be and right now it makes me laugh (I'm sure that will change!), sometimes people just don't know what to say!
       We have pretty much all the essentials for the boys already and now I just have to finish up in their room while I still have the energy. I have lots of plans as always and hope to mark a few things off my list this week. Hopefully I will be sharing some pictures of the nursery soon!
