I love Avocados

I can't believe that I am already 16 weeks along.  Other than the frequent headaches, I am starting to feel much better.  The nausea in the mornings is going away and only really shows its ugly face once in awhile.  In one more week we will have our gender check and hopefully know the sex of our 2 little tykes.  Two nights ago I started feeling something funny, and then I felt it again last night, just for a minute.  I don't know if I am starting to feel them moving or if I just want to feel them so bad that I am making stuff up in my head.  My mom told me to try running a flashlight over my tummy to try and get a response, but I did not feel anything when I tried it.  Plus the flashlight was so cold on my skin that I could barely stand to do it. 

Kami and I did some maternity clothes shopping, which was super fun.  We went to Motherhood, which is an all maternity store and had a blast.  I have never had so much fun trying on clothes.  With every shirt or pant that I tried on, the clerk gave an opinion and any customer would comment.  It seemed like everyone in there was a friend.  I can't really afford to purchase many items there because they are so expensive, but I would go and just try on clothes again, for fun!  After that I even got maternity shoes (aka. slip ons).  My belly is really starting to grow now.  Jesse even said the other night, "WOAH!"  Because we are really starting to see the difference.


Today my babies are the size of avocados.  CRAZY!  I was looking up information on pregnancy, etc. when I stumbled onto these pictures.  They compare the size of the uterus at 16 weeks for someone with 1 baby and someone with 2 babies. 

 I really can't believe how much bigger the uterus is now just because there are 2 babies.  It really helps explain why I am really starting to grow so much.  

Anyway, not much else new to report right now.  We are just still super happy, and super excited for their arrival.  I will post more next week after we have the gender check.
