Twin Pregnancy – 25 Weeks
Friday – November 25, 2005 – 25 Weeks Pregnant I find that time still passes very quickly. In fact if anything it seems to be passing even more quickly as I get further into the pregnancy. We try to keep a low key routine each week as the kids go through school life and I try to teach a stubborn…

Twin Pregnancy – 22 Weeks
Tuesday November 8, 2005 – 22 Weeks Seems like it’s been a while since I’ve written so I thought I’d do a quick update. I had an OB visit Thursday – November 3rd – and all is well. I gained 8 lbs this month though (AAAAAAH!) so I’ll have to be conscious of how I’m eating. I have to say…
