Today's Belly Picture!

Here is today's belly pic! Here belly bump has been growing fast and strong. We are on a mission to keep her skin healthy. She uses Palmer's Tummy Butter and butters up her belly, back and ummm.... other areas that have grown as if they have a life of their own. ; )



I am struggling with my diet! With Chris buttering her belly five thousand times a day, all I can think about is as salt shaker and some corn on the cob. (come to mama!) uuuuhhhggg!


Anyway, we saw the doctor on Wednesday. All is well with the babies and Chris! Everyone looks good and is growing at the same rate. Chris is up 17 lbs from her pre pregnancy weight! Whoohhoooo! If she can get to around 30 lbs by week 20, we will be in good shape. Last week, I cooked a kick a$$ baked macaroni and cheese and a delicious shepherd's pie. I even slipped in sweet potatoes (that she doesn't like) and she loved it! This weekend, I plan to make eggplant parm, and some sort of brown rice, meat, bean and vegetable concoction. Oh and oatmeal raisin cookies (since she won't eat oatmeal) and maybe banana bread with my overly ripe bananas. Geez! I am starving talking about all of that. This is why I am struggling. I have managed not to eat "the babies' food" but I can't seem to get back to the gym. Everyday, I say "Tomorrow". I know I have to make myself a priority but it's easier to clean, food shop and cook then take time for me and get to the gym. I'll will get back ! I know I can do it.

Chris is feeling pretty good these days. She has a good appetite and eats small meals and snacks all day and half the night. She has the most pep in her step in the morning and then fades towards the afternoon. Her back has been bothering her from time to time and she just stretches and rests for relief. She is also getting winded easily and feeling the effects of 17 extra pounds. Her weight never really fluctuated before so this is all new to her. As for me and some of my friends.. we are old pros at gaining and losing weight. When I notice that I am winded tying my shoes or climbing the stairs, it's either time for a diet or slip on shoes and take the elevator. LoL !
I will try to scan some of the ultrasound pics of the babies and post them soon. Also two out of two ultrasound techs think we have two baby boys and one girl! Isn't that sweet?

Keep us in your prayers for health!
Kelly, Chris and the Babies <3 <3 <3
