Week 25!

This week the babies are the weight of a rutabaga or the length of an eggplant. Unfortunately, I could not find rutabaga at the store, and call me Dutch, but did not think it would be economical to pay almost $2.00 per pound on each eggplant that I was not going to use once the picture was taken. So there is just a belly shot this week. And if you are thinking that every week it looks a lot bigger than the week before, you are right. :) When I was at my last appointment a couple of weeks ago, which would have been just after 23 weeks, I was measuring at 30 weeks. So at that rate, I am guessing this week my size would be comparable to how I would look if I was having one baby at 32 weeks. Crazy! What also boggles my mind is that in 10 weeks (hopefully not before) we will be really close to meeting our girls. These past 25 weeks have flown by so I know these next 10 will too. Here is a little info on what is happening this week with each of the girls:

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Earlier this week the crib bedding that I ordered arrived. I absolutely love it! That also means I could pick out paint. A big THANK YOU to my Mom and Heather for coming over and getting started with the painting. Thank you Joni for stopping by too!! I will post pictures once we are done painting and have the cribs setup...it's going to be pretty cute!

Other than that, not a lot is new with us. Kevin continues to coach JO volleyball and his team did really well in their tournament today. They made it to the gold bracket but lost in the championship game.
We are getting excited for Reid and Lauren's wedding which is two weeks from today! We are also excited for Kristen and Dan who are expecting their baby any day now. Praying everything goes well with both of these exciting events!
