At Last...Twins: The Itch @ 21 Weeks

So I have been asked by several of my friends if my belly has started itching. I reply no I use Bio-Oil 2-3 times a day so maybe that is helping to prevent itchy skin. Well I was so wrong- the itch arrived today and in a huge way. I was sitting in a training class and wanted to just scratch constantly. I'm not sure what causes it but it was so uncomfortable!! Besides the itch everything is going well. I get tired fairly easy and have aches and pains but nothing unusual. Overall my pregnancy is going great. I have gained a total of 20 pounds which is on target with the book I am following. I still don't have any cravings and get full really, really easy. Several nights I just skip dinner because I am still full from lunch. I included some bare belly photos below because the others just don't do the belly justice. IT IS HUGE! It is so funny because strangers will ask when I am due and I reply March 13th-- you should see their faces.

My favorite thing about being pregnant is feeling the sweet little kicks. I just love laying in bed and waiting on a gentle kick. I am so happy to be a mommy and am so in love with these sweet little babies.

Over this past weekend, Casey and Mrs. June, my mother-in-law, came over to help Jason paint the nursery and make Halloween cookies. We had a great time baking cookies. The cookies turned out pretty "SCAREY!" as you can see :0)

On Saturday, my dad and Jason started the moulding in the nursery. I am so excited and can't wait to get it completed. The moulding was dad's gift to us. I love the way it turned out!! Below I included photos to track the progress. The nursery colors are cream and white so it will be neutral. Jason and his mother caulked and painted all day Sunday. I didn't realize the woodwork would be so much work. Poor Jason was exhausted by Sunday evening! If you are wondering where my mom was- she was at home sick. She didn't want to be around me.
