Twenty Nine Weeks - Errr, I mean Twenty Two Weeks

We had our 22 week appointment with our OB this morning and everyone seems to be doing well!  I had a huge growth spurt in the last 4 weeks!  Its obvious that I've grown a lot, I just didn’t realize how much!  I went from measuring about average for someone who was 18 weeks with a singleton (at 18 weeks) to measuring 29 weeks!  Most twin moms measure 6-8 weeks ahead, but I wasn’t prepared for how much bigger I’ve gotten!  Dr.Speight said women generally have a growth spurt and it’s not the steady climb they make it out to be, but I am still shocked!

The boys are extremely active and I’m starting to figure out a pattern of when they’re awake and kicking!  Generally it seems to be around 10 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, and after visiting some of Ross’s good friends on Monday, I also learned that they are extremely active around midnight as well!  (Can’t believe I stayed awake!)  This week has also marked the milestone of getting kicked under the ribs for the first time!  At 5’-11” I have a long torso, so I was surprised this is already within their reach!  According to my pregnancy app, they now weigh over a pound and are about the size of Papaya.  We’ll find out the real stats at our next sono in two weeks.  It’s time for them to really start gaining some weight and hopefully they’ll be two pounds before we know it!
