25 Weeks :-)

We are 25 weeks today! Things are going well. I'm still getting dizzy spells and I'm feeling that tummy stretching feeling again (so they and I must be starting another growth spurt) BUT mentally I'm feeling pretty good. LOL Notice I say mentally because I have a lot of energy in my head and all sorts of things I want to do however the energy doesn't make it too far from my head. LOL My body and mind are on completely different levels. My poor honey has a long old honey do list because we're now having the Babies Shower at our house on the 13th. SO lots to do. :-) AND I think I'm already starting to nest (does that happen early with multiples??) because I just keep thinking of all these things that need to be done before the babies come and I try to do them but only get about 10 minutes into something before it's time to rest again. Luckily my wonderful hubby understands and is yelling at me to go lay down if he catches me cleaning. LOL He's so good to me.

The month of September is pretty busy. Yesterday my work had a Shower for me and it was so wonderful. The people I work with are so amazing and the girls on my specialty desk are just great. :-) They really went all out to make such a special day for me. It really meant a lot. Here's a couple pics (as always you can click on them to make them bigger):


This weekend will be filled with cleaning and getting things ready for the Babies Shower here. The 13th is our Shower. The next week will be filled with wedding activities for my friend Janel. Her wedding is the 20th. I THINK after that it slows down - which is good because I doubt I'll be up to doing much of anything by then. ;-) I'm LOVING the cooler weather we're having. It's feeling like Fall here and that is my favorite season. Not to mention that I'm hot ALL the time so it feels amazing. AND I have outgrown my summer maternity clothes but still fit in a good amount of fall/winter ones so I'm happy to be wearing things that fit better now. :-) Except for pants - I hate all pants. LOL I hate anything touching my belly. It all feels TOO tight. Anyway - here's what the babies are up to with their fetal development this week:

Week 25:
Your little grower’s physical proportions are evening out at this point and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and lots and lots of nervous system development. The good news is: if your child is born premature now they’ll be more likely to survive without too much trauma as their lungs began to produce “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery. Keep up the fabulous work mama! This week they’ll be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already!) into a better position for exit during their birth. Their head and feet are slowly rotating so that the head is pointed down towards the birth canal. Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask)—just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human.

And here are the belly pics :-)
