22 Weeks

Our first family Halloween costume was easy--skeletons for the Day of the Dead celebration we attended.

We are happy to be 22 weeks today!  The boys are frequent movers still.  Seth will rest his hand on my stomach when we go to bed and feel them moving around.  They also decided that they're going to be picky again about what I eat.  I spent most of yesterday feeling quite sick and throwing up a few times.  At least it isn't every day anymore though!  =) They must be growing a lot too since my body begged for a nap and I ended up sleeping for 1.5 hours yesterday afternoon.  I enjoyed my extra energy while it lasted.  My main complaints would have to be back pain and sharp pains on my front left side (right at my rib cage).  It's especially bad at night.  I still like to know where the nearest bathroom is at all times since I make frequent stops there.

This past week I've spent hours on stroller and car seat research.  I think I've finally decided on buying two infant car seats and getting the Joovy Twin Roo+ stroller frame to carry them in for the first 6-9 months.  I've read a lot of articles that say with twins, having a lighter stroller frame that is easy to collapse and stick in your trunk is a lot better than taking apart a double stroller every time you want to go somewhere.  Plus, the car seat base stays in the car so you can snap the car seats into the car and snap them into the stroller.  After that, I'll buy the double stroller I want that doesn't need car seats or bassinets attached to it for it to work with the twins.  While doing my research I learned that most twin strollers can't be used without a bassinet or car seat attached until the babies are at least 3 months old.   

This weekend we fly to Utah for our family/friend Baby Shower.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating the boys' arrival.
