Pregnancy Photos
I never take photos of me, especially not when I am pregnant -- cause lets face it - I don't think I look great pregnant and don't really want records of it. But this time I thought I want to see just how fast my belly grows. I knew that in the months of December and January that the babies were suppose to triple in size - and with 2 in there - I knew my stomach would have a huge growth spurt. {AND IT DID!} Within a month it went from barely there to you can't miss it! It went from the size of an avocado to a large banana. So right now I have 2 big bananas in my stomach. Not to complain because I am definitely grateful to be pregnant and that we are blessed with two. But man I don't see how I can be half way there and feel like I am a normal 7/8 months pregnant. And it will only get bigger!! They are taking turns kicking me at all hours especially when I am trying to sleep. One night one kicked so hard I thought his foot might go through my stomach. It was weird and painful! Today I went to my 20 week ultrasound. They think they might be in the same placenta so that would make them identical. That might be fun!! At the beginning they thought they were maybe in their own but it was too hard to tell so in my mind they weren't going to look a like. But having identical would bring a whole new set of issues {like one baby generally gets more nutrients than the other} so with that I will have to do even more ultrasounds and than there is the whole will I be able to tell them apart?? definitely. Will everyone else?? Do I keep them in the same classes? Try to get them into different classes?? Yes these are the things I keep worrying about. I had to stop reading the books on twins. I was so overwhelmed; Topics they include nursing/feeding same time, sleeping in the same bed, or not, keeping them awake at the same time or asleep? What if they don't want to? Giving them each enough attention, along with my other 3 children. Not making my older children have to do too much of the mothering just cause let's face it I have two hands but I can't hold them both and do other stuff at the same time. The list goes on and on. Do you see why I had to stop reading?? Overwhelming!!

You look beautiful Brittany! (as always). Congrats on having two new sweet babies coming!
I think you look great!! How exciting :)
still so adorable! Know what you mean about the belly though. I don't think mine could get any bigger...then it does. :(
I am so excited for you and excited to see you on Wednesday!
Oh and about all those decisions...holy cow....one step at a time {although I would be just like you}. Just get them here healthy and strong first :)
You look adorable! I am sad that I can see your growing belly! Hopefully I will get to see it sometime before those little guys come out!
