22 on the 22

on october 22 i hit the 22 week mark. both babies are alive and kickin. i got a pregnancy email today that said my "baby" should be sleeping something like 12 hours a day now and to pay attention when they start and stop kicking. well...i've decided my twins don't sleep. i feel them quite often (even at night) and the boy is much more active than the girl. i wonder if one kicks and keeps the other one up? tyler's already threatened to separate them if they don't start behaving. :)

at the request of many, i finally took another belly picture. now, i know i'm getting bigger, but after tyler took this one and i looked at it, went "holy crap!" cookin up twins is some serious business. (at my 20 week appointment i was measuring 24 weeks...we'll have to see how the trend continues.) my belly is starting to get in the way at work, so if you're a patient and you get kicked - i'm sorry! :)

two peas in a pod

...yes, that's what my twinners are, but they're not the subject of this post. tyler and i are!

a few weeks ago, at sunday dinner, my brother-in-law paul mentioned how it drives him nuts that my sister-in-law andi (his wife) leaves drawers open all the time. in her defense, she may have inherited this from her dad, who is famous for leaving the fridge door open.

in any case, i thought to myself, "hmm...i wonder how the drawers in my house are lookin'?" i came home and found my dresser like this:

and tyler's dresser like this:

chalk this up as another reason why tyler and i are so good together. hahaha.

the countdown begins

now that i am officially halfway through my pregnancy, i decided to put a countdown on my blog. doing it before now seemed daunting. that's a lot of days to sit and watch go by. but now it's all downhill from here - the number of days i have left being pregnant are less than the ones i've already been pregnant. sweet!

ps - i think it's cool i could put twins in the countdown ticker!
