The Sarti twins are growing and growing giving us tons to be excited for! Despite the somewhat difficult pregnancy, we're taking it all in and getting more and more anxious to meet our miracles :)

How Far Along? 17 weeks, 2 days
Size? Sweet Potato, 5.5 inches / 5ounces EACH!
Maternity Clothes? Some maternity shorts/capris and some regular dresses or elastic waist bands. Maternity tops tend to look better but I'm rotating through a small selection!
Showing? Yes! Although when I mentioned to another teacher at summer school that I was pregnant and she said "Really?! Congratulations!" I was looking at my belly and thinking, ummmm, yes!
Weight Gain? 6 lbs, finally able to gain some weight!
Stretch Marks? Not yet, using cocoa butter every day

Gender? Baby A was too shy at the last appointment but Dan's guess is that A is a girl since it wasn't "obvious" we didn't check on B since we couldn't tell with A...gotta be fair!
Sleep? I'm sleeping pretty well but a lot of tossing and turning, bathroom breaks and switching from side to side due to hip pain :/
Movement? I thought I'd felt something but wasn't sure...I can't wait until it's unmistakable!
Food Cravings? None, I still have a lot of trouble finding things that sound good. I feel like I'm living on fruit
Anything making you queasy or sick? Meat, fish, mornings, afternoons and evenings.
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? In, sometimes you can see the void through my shirt and Dan teases me!
Wedding rings, on or off? On, I was so worried about swelling but so far so good!
What I Miss? Eating like a normal person :/
Symptoms? Nausea, vomiting, hip and round ligament pain, nosebleeds, I get tired easily and if I do too much in one day, the next day is rough. Silly second trimester full of empty promises!
Happy or Moody? Happy despite the ongoing symptoms and difficulty eating. Dan might tell you otherwise, but the growing belly and frequent ultrasounds keep me going, I'll do anything for these miracle babies!
Best Moment of the Week? Mom helping us pick out stroller, crib etc. Looking forward to...The next appointment, hopefully we'll see the genders! Any guesses??
Rachel- I'm sooo excited for you!!! I can't wait to hear more about it! Let me know if you have any questions! I would love to chat with you:) I've only been doing the mommy thing for a few weeks but I have some things that I already would NEVER live without!
