Check-up

Nothing like being 20 weeks pregnant and measuring 30 weeks! They really should make a seperate chart for women pregnant with multiples, because really, the thought of measuring at 47 weeks at some point (which will probably be in a month or two) is going to make me develop a complex. We have an ultrasound tomorrow so I am very interested to see exactly how these babies are measuring - my guess would be large - and I really do hope that is the case. I want nice, plump, healthy, chubby little boys. My BP was 120/60, so perfecto, a mild UTI and whatev's... but that comes with two people setting up camp on top of your bladder. Dr. Wenzel said that I can actually go a month out until my next visit, which always makes things a bit easier. That is also reassuring to me that things are indeed progressing well. In the meantime, Brian and I need to set up a time to tour Labor and Delivery since we will be delivering in a different hospital than we did with Logan.

I also have a post about our Labor Day weekend in Chicago that I am working on, but I just need a good chunk of time in which to write about it, and that I just haven't had lately. Soon though... soon.

20 weeks

20 weeks at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. I can't believe that we only have 17 more weeks at the most before we meet these twins.

Why THIS is my favorite age.

Because this kid says the funniest stuff.

We were just in the middle of eating dinner and he screamed "PEACOCK!" we stopped and looked at him and he goes "Sometimes I just feel like saying Peacock" and kept on eating.

Then when I was doing the dishes I hear him yell "Hey food! Get on my fork!".

Oh, and the kid is going to hate me someday for putting this on the internet, but I also don't think I will be able to hold myself back from telling this to a future girlfriend...

After dinner he told me "Mom, I think I probably need to go to the bathroom because I think I probably need to pee". Ok big man, let's do it. He was sitting on the toilet, just finished peeing and says "Wow, I have a big penis! Sometimes I have a big penis".

Welcome to a life of boys, Lindsay. Get used to it.

Got milk?

I know who should be in the next ad for "Got Milk?". It's my boy. Today I decided would be the day we can start ditching sippy cups and move to real cups without lids. What made me decide this? Well, frankly, all the sippy cups were in the dishwasher. Sometimes, as a parent, we make parenting choices based on what the day is throwing us. Today was not throwing me a bone, to say the least, but the good part was that Logan was rockin' the regular cup. At lunch he said, "Look at me mom, I have a Milkstash". Where does he learn these things?

We were listening to a kiddie CD during lunch, and I have to say, there is nothing that can put a smile on your face like quiet children with mouths full of garbanzo beans bopping up and down to some tunes. In the middle of lunch Logan says "Mom, my bottom is shaking".

We had a visit from Baby Jack Litton this morning! He is just the cutest, sweetest thing and it was so much fun watching him watch the big kids, and watching Logan being so gentle and kind to this little sweetie. It makes me feel so good knowing that he will fall into his role as Big Brother with ease.

19 weeks

19 weeks and big.

18 weeks and Trains

Today I had my 18 week prenatal appointment. Everything looked great! Heartbeats in the 150's, blood pressure 120's over 70's, up 13 lbs total for entire pregnancy, and measuring at a whopping 25 weeks! Ahahahaha! Dr. Wenzel actually said "Wow, you are really growing!". I told her about our big news about having two boys and she was not only shocked, but also informed me that the boys could potentially be identical, even though they are in seperate sacs. Being on Clomid though, and the fact that I felt that I had ovulated twice, I really think our boys are fraternal.

I had a bit of a dizziness spell on Saturday morning while shopping with Logan at Target. After talking to my Dr. today, we really think it was just low blood sugar, and the fact that I am pumping a lot of extra blood through my body. Other than that, she said that everything is perfect, and to keep doing what I am doing!

18 weeks 1 Day




In Logan-Land, our boy has a new hobby - Thomas the Train! And all of his friends, of course. Logan can easily name off every Thomas and Friends train from Percy to Troublesome Trucks. This could become a very expensive hobby...

Best. Thing. Ever.

This morning my sweet baby boy looked at me and said "Mom, I love you being my mommy". How could I not just melt into a giant puddle of love for my toddler? This was probably the best thing I have ever heard him say.

Then, when hugging him before naptime, he repeated this to me, but with a little bit extra; "Mom, I love you being my mommy, and I really, really, really have to pee".
