Throw Me A Bone

Yesterday was exhausting. It was picture day at the dance studio I work at. The picture part wasn't too stressful, surprisingly. The part that was difficult was all the comments I got from parents about my belly. Here are a few of them:

"Wow, look how big you are!"

"So you must only have a couple weeks left."

"Whoa, how do you carry that thing around?"

"You. Are. HUGE!"

"How does your back not break?!"

Etc. Etc. Etc. times a million!

Thank you everyone. Thank you for the over 50 comments I got about my huge belly. I feel like a beautiful princess now. Thank you. There are so many thoughtful people in the world. ;0)

New Best Friend...

...okay, not literally. I was just surprised to get in the car yesterday and have my pregnant belly touching the steering wheel. Crazy! Luckily, I can scoot my seat back a little and still (barely) reach the pedals. In another week or two I don't think I'll fit at all. Insane!

The Love Gain

I know it's very important to gain weight when you're pregnant with twins. I understand that and I'm trying really hard not to freak out everytime I get on a scale or look in the mirror. I know that every pound I gain is a step closer to having healthy babies. And I want my babies to definitely weigh over 5 pounds when they're born. So I'll do my best to gain weight for these kiddos.

However, it's still hard to take. It blows my mind to look like I'm already 6-7 months pregnant and I'm only 17 weeks. I'm always big when I'm pregnant, but this is crazy! I don't mind getting bigger (okay, maybe I do mind a little), but when I look at my bulging belly and think of all the many weeks still left in this pregnancy, I tend to go a little nuts. Just how big is this thing gonna get?!?!

I have to apologize to my current stretch marks because I'm sure even they are going to get stretch marks. How far can skin stretch anyway? I guess I'll find out soon enough!
