24

Today marks 24 weeks along with the twins... Just 14 left to go! I've gained about 34 pounds so far, only 2 of which are actually baby. They are just over a pound and as long as an ear of corn. We seem to have progressed from fruit to vegetables ~ this should get interesting!

Here's a picture of what they should be looking like right now...

I had a checkup this week and everything looks good. We got our C~section scheduled for October 6th... which seems so far away but really it's just a little over 3 months. I did the dreaded one hour glucose test (this seems to get easier each time?) and even had the boys with me. Thank goodness for cards and DS's (they fluctuate from wanting to play "War" all the time and wanting to play video games on Shawn's Nintendo DS). They got to hear the babies' heartbeats, though it wasn't easy to find them as they were so squirmy!! These babies are constantly on the move and don't seem to ever be still at the same time for very long. I'm thinking the Makua are in for quite a ride with these active lil Keiki!

Here's what my belly looks like today. My darling friend Erica brought me some clothes to wear after listening to my complaints of everything being too small ... and the first thing I pulled out was a maternity Aloha shirt. It seemed appropriate somehow :)

Other than that, we're plugging right along through summer. Swim lessons are almost over and the boys have learned a lot! I'm still not quite confident in their swimming ability for them to hang out in the pool without me, but I definitely feel more comfortable watching two kids even in my sluggish state.

Today we're off to go bowling with Ria and her girls, which the boys have been looking forward to for days. I'll try to remember to bring my camera because watching Gavin bowl is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. I think you'll get a kick out of it!

Happy Thursday!
