Colorado
After a great weekend filled with family, friends and sushi (yes that's right) I'm off to Colorado for my last business trip of the year. You have no idea how happy I am about this fact! It really takes a lot out of me traveling a lot, especially leaving N and Miffy. Now add an extra 20 pounds and two babies kicking up a storm. All I can say is can't wait till Friday.
Next week will focus on getting back into routines including xfit... Yikes. We've also started zoning about 50% of the time. Even though I'm on schedule with weight gain and still feel great I am scared of still losing control. Not that I'm over induldging but I'm just waiting for that kick that some women get about food, bad food. Then there's the fact that I'm carrying two little babies. My body needs to maintain strong and steady.
Hopefully I won't get too many unsolicited comments upon my return to the box.

21, 22, 23...
Wow have these last three weeks flown by. Our vacation aka babymoon was amazing! All we did was lounge by the beach and enjoy eachother. Something else that happened = I finally started feeling little flutters! From all over. They started while listening to some live rock en espanol. N swears they love music. I'm sure they do too.
I've been feeling great overall except that I had some really bad back pain a few days ago. My back kept on cramping up on my right side but I think it's back to normal now. No more MS except for Monday but pretty much nonexistant. Still doing my weekly morning hikes up to First Water but have been advised to stop them soon. :'(
We had an appointment and still no gender news. We may just have to wait till these little guys make an appearance in December... They're doing great and all tests have came back nornal which has me ectatic! They are growing up a storm and that means they're healthy as well, the only thing we're concerned about.
At week 21 the duo were each the size of a banana; week 22 the size of small dolls; this week about 8 inches long and just over a pound each. Eek! According to WTEWYE from here on out these little guys are going to start packing on some fat. They'll be twice their weight by week 27.

Melons
Today (7/23/09) we are officially at the halfway mark of our pregnancy! When did this happen!?!? We are definitely a lot bigger than last week and we’re/I’m really feeling that morning sickness. I don’t mind as it gives me peace of mind that these two little cantaloupes are growing up a storm!
So now that we’re back I said I’d get back to our normal routine. Eek! This has been a hard week with feeling like hell and having deadlines and a report to write. Then there’s next week, we’ll be leaving to Mexico! BUT I do plan on getting some exercising done there. We’re staying at a resort that has a private beach and N had done repeats from one end to the other the last time we were there. I figure since I wake up early when on vacation and given that no hangover’s will keep me in bed I’ll do these at least four out of the seven nights we’re staying out there. When we were on our trip in November we managed to get out three out of the seven nights in Huatulco and that was humidity hell. Plus we did stair and hill work. Yep. This is a flat beach, but nonetheless a beach with sand. Will do it!
Other than the MS I’m feeling great! Sure I’m starting to feel tired a little quicker and can’t move as fast as I used to without breaking a sweat but I’m all good. N attributes this all to bootcamp/xfit, as do I. Really couldn’t imagine being pregnant and not being able to do all the stuff I did beforehand. I still run (shorter distances), sprint (slower) and lift stuff but why shouldn’t I? There are people that have been questioning me and I know saying negative things behind my back because of the activities I do, or haven’t stopped doing as they so eloquently put it. But why? Have they carried twins before? Do they not know the physical stress it takes on your system thus the need to make sure your body is fully prepared to carry the extra load? Are they doctors? All of mine have said to continue with what I did before, while keeping tabs on my system of course. Then there’s Sara. She’s proof that you can work out hard and carry a full term healthy baby.
My goal = produce the best possible produce.

Baby Max
Congratulations to my inspirational mama! Sarita gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy!
She's one of the few women that know where I'm coming from and how I'm feeling. Thank you again Sarah for breaking in the peeps over at The Academy that pregnant ladies can too lift heavy shit.
I pray that in 20 weeks I too will have equally great news to share!

Mangos
Oh my little guys how you have well how you have... Good thing you two like mangos because they've never tasted better!
Last week was our LAST in Sacramento and now we're finally back! It's nice to be able to see my babies daddy on a daily basis. Plus, being home is so much more relaxing and comfortable.
We're almost at the 20 week mark, only two more days! But I haven't posted about week 19 yet. Everything is going good, no complications which is awesome and no food cravings that I can't handle and we've been working out. Well this week's been hard... more to follow. Last week I did a xfit session and it nearly killed us. Seriously. I was in such pain. BUT this was all normal soreness although I do think my caloric intake for the day was short so I felt the aftermath the following day. Funny how if you listen to your body, or babies, you'll find all the answers. All is well though and I'm planning on some more running this week while I still can.
Yesterday was a first and worth a mention. I was sick twice, once at home and once on a bus, in public. Good thing it was on my way to my parentals and Little A was picking me up at the stop. Oh, and I had a bag so no one was hurt except maybe me. This morning I swear I woke up with a belly twice the size of yesterday's so I expect that all that feeling nasty yesterday was just another growth spurt. All that hormone overload, twice!
One more thing, N had mentioned that my face looked thinner. This is not a good thing as I'm NOT supossed to be losing any weight. I'm afraid of weighing myself in fear that I haven't gained anything or worse, lost. See with twins its apperently a cardinal sin if you lose any weight. I've been warned by my OB and my multiples book so I better check tomorrow. According to Dr. Luke we should be between 20-25 lbs. up. Ack!
Food Aversions: Eggs
Mood: Really pissy if you upset me...
Energy: Normal
Exercise: (7/11) First Water w/ Aunty Rocky, (7/13) 400m sprints & 30 squats x 4 rounds, (7/14) Squat thrusters, dead hang knees to elbows, step ups, 800m run, lots of jump rope (7/18) First Water w/Aunty Rocky.
Tummy: Oh yeah!
Produce size of babies: Guess!

Another appt. update
We had our regular OB appt. with the Doctor that is to deliver us. Babies are great and my stats are great too. Gained some more weight, 16 pounds PP... BUT the doctor loves that I'm at that weight and according to my Twin/Multiple book I'm below what I should be at... So I guess as long as I keep eating healthy I'm good.
Genders... The doctor gave us some different news than yesterday! Now we'll just have to wait till our next appt... August 10th... seriously.
