22 Weeks Preggo

I am behind on my posts due to severe back pain and writing thank you cards. There is just not enough time in the day to do everything that I want to do.  I have been in a lot of pain in the middle of my rib cage on the right side. I went to the chiropractor twice this week to see if that would help- it has offered some relieve but only for a short period of time.  Besides that everything else is going well.  

I went to the doctor this week for a checkup. The babies each weighted 1 pound and measured about the same (one was 22W0D and one was 21W6D).  My cervix looked good which I was worried about due to cramping. It is so relieving to know that everything is normal.  The doctor didn’t see a medical reason that I couldn’t go to Starkville to the MSU football game.  Jason was thrilled by that news but he thought the doctor would release me since he is a MSU graduate. :0)

Jason and mom finished painting the nursery.  I can’t wait to put everything in it and start the decorating!! Oh- I forgot to add that the babies are really active and I love the way it feels when they move around. 

Family Baby Shower

Christina and Tim flew home on Friday from Washington, DC.  I haven’t seen them since August, which seemed like forever.  It was so nice to see them and show off my belly bump.  Actually I’m not sure if you would consider it a bump at this point- it is more of a mountain!

My sister, Christina, and Jason’s Aunt Lisa hosted a baby shower for me at my parent’s house on Saturday, November 5th.  It was so nice to visit with our families and close family friends.  The food was wonderful and it was so fun to share the excitement of
becoming a mother.

                       

                                                      

I took several breaks between opening gifts. I have never been so tired from just unwrapping presents. I think this pregnancy is starting to take a toll on my energy level. Everyone was so generous to Jason and I.  Thankfully, Cayce assisted me with the gifts and the twins helped with the opening.

Special thanks to my sister, Aunt Lisa, mom, and mother-in-law.  The shower was so nice and exciting! I can't believe that I am getting so close to becoming a mom.  I am so fortunate to have you all in my life.
