At 29 weeks, the food that used for comparing baby size is butternut squash. Very appropriate for fall. The belly is getting very heavy and I can only lay on my side. At the last ultrasound and I had to reposition because I get dizzy if I'm on my back too long. (That's what she said!)
People are very funny when they notice I'm pregnant. I've had multiple conversations like this:
When are you due? Around Thanksgiving.
Sometimes followed by a look that I interpret as "But, you are so big!"
That's exciting. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? It's both.
What? You are having twins? Yes, it's twins.
That's perfect; a boy and a girl. You won't need to have anymore children.
That's the comment that I love the most. As if you must have a boy and a girl to have a "complete" family. I seriously laugh at this every time. It's funny that this conversation happens so much. I'm sure I've said something just as crazy to people in the past.
The babies measure about 10.4 inches (26.4cm) from crown to rump, or a total length of about 16.7 inches (42.4cm) from head to toe, and each weigh about 2.7 pounds (1.2kg). At this stage, their eyes are almost always blue and can distinguish bright sunlight or artificial light through the uterine wall. The babies are performing fewer acrobatics as conditions in the womb become more cramped, but still doing a lot of kicking and stretching. These two stretch all the time.

I like the question about whether or not they are identical twins--after finding out that you're pregnant with a boy and a girl! :)
Hmmm, I guess I need to have a another I I can try and be complete. :P
