Feeling the moves...

I finally felt the babies move!  I'd been wondering when I would start to feel them, and I'm pretty sure I'm feeling them now.  Apparently I was oblivious to the "fluttering" and only feel the legitimate kicks.  We bought some Praise Baby CD's a month or so ago and I put them on an ipod.  At night when I'm going to bed or on the couch I plug one ear-bud into my belly button (getting harder and harder to make it stay) and the other anywhere I can, and play them music.  On Wednesday night I "plugged in" and was laying there when B definitely kicked me.  He was on top because I was laying on my right side and I felt it a couple times before I called Sean in, he only had to wait a minute or two before he felt it too.  An obvious bump on my belly.  I think I also felt A and C too, but they were on the bottom and it was harder to tell.  I think I have felt them a few more times, and B more than the others... maybe he is a future Soccer star :)  Feeling them in there makes it seem so much more real... up until now it has only been evident on the ultrasound and by the growing belly.  Definitely happening now!

We have the nursery painted (well, Sean painted it), and will get pictures up as soon as it is together :)

20 weeks and counting...

I cannot believe we are at 20 weeks now.  We had a fabulous trip to Boston last week (congrats Steph and thanks for having us!), and a doctor's appointment on Monday.  All is looking good, I have gained 22 pounds total (yeesh) and the babies are 12-13 ounces each.  They are moving around a lot, even though I can't feel them yet.  My blood pressure is great, my cervix actually got longer, and I feel fine (although my feet are super swollen, which is apparently normal).

Two weeks ago we got the baby furniture in (thanks Holtzes!!) and it's a good thing we waited to paint and buy fabrics because we decided to make some changes.  We are going to paint this weekend and when we get the furniture in and curtains up I'll post some pictures.  We (I think) finished registering at Babies R Us (have a love hate relationship with that store, and it was Sean's first experience there), but they don't carry the car seats I want or some of the other bigger items.  Our Preparing for Multiples class was interesting, I'm glad we went, though some of what was discussed we already knew from reading our books.

I'm on every 2 week checks now for my cervix, but so far they have also always checked the babies too.  I'm very spoiled by the every 2-3 week ultrasounds and can't imagine only having one or two for the whole pregnancy!  So far we are very blessed that everything is going so well.  Next goal is 24 weeks, then 28, then 32, then 35... Continue to pray for us as unfortunately, things could change at any time, though I am more and more confident that we can do this!
