My *massive* Twin Tummy

I'm not a huge fan of having my picture taken, but I feel like it is important to get pictures of my belly (since I don't have any of me while I was pregnant with E.)

I'm 24 weeks, 4 days today. I've gained 16 pounds and my belly is 52 inches around!! My doctor would like me to only gain 40 lbs, so I have 24 lbs to spread out over the next 12 weeks.

Here is my belly to the front and a side shot of my belly (you'll notice that unfortunately, the stretch marks have arrived).

23 Weeks

It has been far too long since I have updated this blog!

We are having two little di-di boys!! Yes, boys! They are both doing very well right now. Baby A is 1 lb, 3 oz. Baby B is 1 lb, 4 oz. They are both head down right now and their little feet are planted (quite firmly) in my ribcage.

During ultrasounds, they are extremely active little babies. They do not hold still for any of the measurements or the testing.

I am holding up pretty well as well. I have gained 9 lbs and my gestational diabetes is well in control. I have lots of lower backpain, sternum pain, heartburn, muscle aches, Braxton Hicks, and I just pulled my groin muscle - but just imagine the payoff that will enter our family in three months!

I don't have my scanner set up right now as we are frantically trying to rearrange our living space to accommodate two little extras. Here are some of my ultrasound pics that I took w/my camera.

Baby A likes to be difficult. He also likes to show his buns and spine to the camera.

Here is a pic of Baby B's profile.

Here are the babies' four feet right in my sternum.
