Daily Conversations With Evan: Waiting for Amy
Last weekend we were out running errands and I decided to sneak in a quick video conversation of Evan. Just FYI – we just watched a show about giant squid before we left.

Evan’s Trip to Florida
A few weeks ago we went to Florida on a rather last minute decision. While we were there Evan enjoyed going to Dinosaur World, visiting with family, and going “on safari” with Papa (aka – going on a ride to look at horses and pigs in a golf cart). Much thanks for the hospitality and we hope Gaga is feeling better!
Check out the latest pictures from Florida.

What I Feel Like.
Big. Even though most people say I look small.
I have gained about 29ish pounds – which is right around where I was with Evan. So I am only 25 weeks but I feel like I should be closer to 40 if I compare with my pregnancy with Evan. The doctor seems fine with my weight gain – every one else thinks I should be bigger – but I gain what I gain. Not like I am not eating.

Evan’s Quotes
Evan just cracks us up and has had some super quotes lately.
Last weekend we were in a store waiting for Amy to get out of the dressing room and Evan went over to some woman who was also waiting for her friend and he said “I love your purse!”. The woman in the dressing room laughed and asked if he just said “I love your purse” and when she found out that is what she said, she told him “I love that purse too” and laughed.
Evan has some really cool building toys which are made out of plastic and are magnetic. He usually builds parking lots or roads for his cars but the other day he told me “let’s build a concourse”. Yes – we do travel a lot.
Evan also told Amy “your nails are beautiful” after she came home from her manicure.
Upon leaving the Super Bowl party – he told the host “thanks for the party”.
He is such a trip.

Crazy Movement.
I sat my desk during the last period of the day and just resting my feet a little – my kids had been taking standardized tests all week so we were watching a video to relax and as I felt our little ones moving, I also notices something that was weird. My stomach was also moving with the movement of the babies. I do not remember ever seeing this with Evan – I believe he just was not big enough to make my body show movement. Or I just do not remember. So since that has happened I have noticed several times the movement when they are very active. Kinda crazy, but I guess a given.

Week 25 Appointment
Babies are good – heart rates are within normal range and my glucose test results came back normal. I was worried since I am carrying two babies this time and everything is so different. Things seem to be going well although I do feel a lot of pressure – sometimes when the girl moves I think – please do not move so much – she feels so low – it makes me nervous.
Dr. Weber has suggested that I go part-time at work. Carrying twins can put a lot more pressure on the body (cervix) and it can actually start to soften earlier than it would when carrying a singleton. So starting next week I will be going into school three days and home two days. Hopefully keeping me working a little longer – hopefully at least until 36 weeks. I will also be going to the doctor every two weeks now – so my next appointment is 3/18.

Evan’s New Room
Last week we were busy getting Evan’s new room ready. We wanted to make it special so we Let him help paint, and then bought Wall-E stickers for the wall and put his computer on his new desk. He loves having the computer in his room and he also loves his sweet Wall-E stickers. He took the move very well (we are making his old room into the twin’s new room since it is better suited for two) and has never had put up any fight or even questioned the move. He enjoyed helping set everything up and moving things from one room to the other. I think it is a great “big boy” room!
Check out the new photos of his room.

Evan Loves the Snow
Evan loves the snow much like I do. He loves shoveling, walking in the snow, finding trucks, golf balls, and other assorted things that are uncovered when the snow melts, and making snow angels. Of course – he does not like to get snow on his bare hands and when he does, he cries (still does not get the idea that he can easily warm them) but he is generally a real trouper outside. I posted a new set of pictures taken at the babysitter’s house a few days ago.

Level 2 Ultrasound
At the level two ultrasound we had detailed measurements of both babies taken again – everything came back normal and at the correct size for their ages. The boy weighed 1lb 3oz and the girl was 1lb 2oz. The cardiologist also came in and took a close look at both hearts and the blood movement through the hearts (echocardiography) – it was amazing that they could see so much of our little ones already. That doctor moved quickly though so we could not ask too many questions. I was laying on the table for about 45 minutes for all of the measures and such – but the regular doctor came in at the end and said everything looked normal from what he could see at this point. So more good news – makes us happy :).
The profile shot is the boy – great shot. The scary picture is the girl – the circle on the right is her eyeball. Because she is on the bottom it is hard to get a good shot of her because of shadows and such – at least that is what they tell us.
