23 Weeks: Little Papayas

I'm 23 weeks along today! Supposedly the babies are each about the size of a papaya right now with a crown to rump measurement of 8 inches, weighing in at just over a pound a piece. We'll confirm all stats at the doctor next week. We can't wait! So far the babies have been right on track with the average expected size measurements.

The babies attended their first country concert on January 29th. We went and saw Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum. It was a great show! The babies obviously heard the concert loud and clear because they were both rockn and rolln inside my tummy throughout most of the show!! Pretty sure it was their first and last concert for years to come. ;-) It's fun to finally know they are hearing what is going on in the outside world. Jeremy and I have started taking turns reading stories to the babies each night. On his birthday on Friday, Jeremy finally felt one of the babies move by placing his hand on my stomach. Granted I had him hold it there for extended lengths of time at several points throughout the evening in hopes he would feel them on his birthday. Perseverance paid off though and he felt some movement!

I had 2 more baby showers in recent weeks. Jeremy's mom and sister threw us a baby shower in Marion, IL on January 21st. The shower guests included relatives from both sides of Jer's family. It was fun catching up with everyone and being able to spend the day with family! Shower games included trying to identify baby food flavors and melted candy bars in diapers. Both led to some interesting faces by shower guests!! My sister also threw us a shower on February 4th which was attended by a few family members and lots of good friends. She themed the shower with cute little owls and held a diaper raffle for us. The diaper raffle yielded many much needed diapers for the babies! Their little butts are going to go through hundreds of diapers each month so we sincerely appreciate each and every package! I included some pictures of the decorations from the shower at Andrea's house as well as an updated belly shot.

Whoo's having twins?! This girl! The belly has really popped in recent weeks!!

Shower game gifts for the guests and a few of the gifts for the twins!
