I can't believe how fast time has flown by! I am already at 24 weeks! Andrew thinks it's going by slowly but I know after the holidays, the girls will be here before we know it. I had a doctor's appointment today and it went great. The babies are growing so well. Caroline weighed 1 lb. 6 oz. and Charlotte weighed 1 lb. 8 oz. They measured exactly the same except for Charlotte's legs...still longer. Caroline's legs measured almost 24 weeks old and Charlotte's were 25 weeks old! During the sonogram, we watched Caroline open and close her mouth, taking big drinks. Then she would move her mouth around as if she was chewing the fluid. After a few times of her doing this, she got the hiccups. It is so amazing seeing them! Charlotte was awake this time and kicking around. Our sonographer thinks Caroline is going to be more of the hyper one and Charlotte laid back. I can't wait to see how their little personalities are when they arrive! My doctor measured me and right now I measure what somebody at 30 weeks carrying one baby would. I still feel pretty good except some back pain. I've gained almost 25 pounds so far so that's understandable. Some days are worse than others but I'm just trying to stay positive because I know it's only going to get harder on my body. Yesterday I woke up very dizzy and wasn't able to walk for a while. My doctor said it was nothing to be alarmed about. The babies were good. It was just a little case of vertigo.
We've been quite busy since my last post. Some wonderful friends threw me a baby shower at my house last weekend. It was a blast! Everybody was so generous and we couldn't more thankful. The girls are already loved by so many people! Here's a few pics from the shower....including one of the nursery so far. We have no furniture in it yet but it's all been ordered and is on the way.
The wonderful ladies that threw the shower: Sarah, Katy, Shalaine, Crystelle, Kim (not pictured)
The baby girls were so blessed!

I did my whole nursery theme based around this beautiful wallpaper that we put on the ceiling. I just love it! I find it calm and peaceful in their room. I can't wait to see it all come together once we get the furniture in and pictures hung.
A little update on my sister...we just found out they are having a girl!! Yay! I'm excited because I know our babies and their girl will be so close growing up together!
I am just busy getting ready for Christmas. I love this time of year! My family is coming in town and Andrew's family is coming over for Christmas. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
