25 weeks with twins and counting - We're having 2 girls!!!

18 weeks, twins!

A lot of things has happened, busy with work and simply, too tired to write.

Yes, I've grown a veryyy huge amount of belly. The movement of the twins are pretty strong already - they wake me up in the middle of the night. I feel them at certain times already, every 6AM, 8:30am, after lunch, 4PM, 6PM and a lot more by 9-10PM, then again at 2AM. This might be their wake-sleep patterns already.

During my 21st week, I had an ultrasound. Yes - we're having 2 princesses! 2 girls and Ice will be the Big brother ("Kuya Ice"). He's still so excited and every night, he would pray "Jesus, please take care of the babies and make them safe." He would kiss my belly at every chance he can.

One day, while we were having a marriage care group in our house (Had 5 couples, who we meet once a week). My 4 year old Ice, got out of the room and asked me in front of all the couples "Mommy, are the babies fine?" Then, I told him "Yes, baby they're okay"... he kissed my belly and left. The ladies we're like... "awwwww..... that's so sweet!" and when they said that, I realized how sweet my baby is.

I'm blessed in every way. My Ice is blessed and he will be a man after God's own heart. he will be a good Godly leader, faithful and strong. At a very young age, I myself will be astounded as to the words of wisdom that will come from his mouth... All because of how Jesus loves him.

Ice, will be a very good brother (Kuya) to the girls...

I'm on my 25th week now, basically aside from not being able to sleep well at night, and belly is growing like a big gant basketball. Everything is good. I still keep watch that I don't tire myself too much, listening well to wha my body is telling me, it's more important to me right now to keep the babies inside till full-term (37 weeks for twins) than spending stressful time for work. Great thing, my partners are very understanding with my situation, But, I know it's also hard for them for me not being able to measure up with their expectation which makes me feel a bit useless and undeserving of my position.

As a mom, priorities shifts when you have a kid but especially when you are expecting (and more so, if 2). I don't know yet what will happen when the twins come out, I know how to take care of them. Career-wise, I'm still in this I-think-I-can-manage mode but then waiting as well for an instruction. I know my Lord has wisdom already ready for it.
