Let Them Be Little

Last night we moved my sweet two-year-old out of the bedroom that he's had since he was born and into Kyler's room.  I honestly almost cried.  I kept thinking of how hard I worked to clear that room out (it used to be our office) and get it ready for that sweet baby I couldn't wait to meet.  And now he's 2 1/2 years old, sleeping in a toddler bed, getting ready to be a big brother.  It was almost too much for this mama's heart to take.

This song has been in my head ever since:

They do grow up oh-so-fast.

We also moved Melissa out of her room that she's had since she was born.  It wasn't quite as hard on me because her room has gone through many transitions in the almost-7 years that she's been with us!  She was super excited to get a new room!

And now....her old room is getting ready to be filled by cribs and onesies and a changing table and rocking chair again!  We are so excited to get a room ready for the twins!

Speaking of the twins, we had another check-up on Valentine's Day. (How lovely that I got to see my two newest little loves on heart day!)  They are both doing wonderful!  They are weighing in around 1 lb, 14 oz each.  They are quite the little wiggle worms and I absolutely love watching and feeling them moving every day.

I think, though, that I've discovered the hardest part about a twin pregnancy.  Y'all, I'm not even in my third trimester yet and I HURT!  It's difficult to bend down to put on pants/socks/shoes.  My back hurts after walking through the store for a little bit.  Rolling over in bed is getting harder.  Third trimester starts around 27 weeks.  But at my last visit with my midwife, when I was not quite 23 weeks, I was already measuring 30 weeks.  I'm estimating now that I'm probably measuring around 34 weeks.  So....I officially have about 3 months left to go yet I'm carrying like I'm due in 6 weeks.  I can't even imagine how much bigger I'm going to get.  Yikes!

Okay, no more complaints from me...for today.  Here's a picture of those sweet babies to remind me why I hurt and that it will ALL be worth it!
