My Growth...

Okay, I have several pregnancy shots that need to be put on here. I am overwhelmed at how big I've gotten so fast. I know...there are two babies growing inside of me that are now about 6 inches long - so I should expect to feel large, to have to hold my breath whenever I bend over, to not be able to lift myself onto the bed or to roll over easily for that matter. I know that I knew this kind of stuff would come with a pregnancy. It just seems to have come on so fast. I'm afraid that I will soon be out of a cute pregnant belly phase and onto whale-ish looking. Oh well...Trevor tells me, "you asked for this", which I did. Actually doing it is a little different than talking though. No, we still couldn't be more excited to be planning for our little boys. Trevor laughs a lot at my daily realizations of things I have trouble doing or can't do at all. He loves to see that the boys are getting bigger. He rubs them and talks to them as if I can't hear anything he is saying to them. Hopefully those are the times I will remember about pregnancy and not the back pains. My cousin, Angie, has given me some maternity tops which have saved my life the last couple of weeks because I haven't brought myself to buy maternity clothes yet. I'm sure we'll be going out this weekend to get some - because I really don't have much I can fit in. My mother-in-law has spent hours picking out bedding with me and my mother is coming over several days out of the week to paint the nursery with me. We are so so so blessed to have family so close by. They are the biggest support to us with all of our decisions and I love to be able to go through these times of our lives with them. Alright the pictures...

These pictures are of me at about 14 weeks:




The funny thing is when Trevor took these pictures he thought I looked "more pregnant than I was" - we didn't put them on the blog at first because we thought the pictures made me look bigger than what was really there - little did we know...

These are me at about 16 1/2 weeks:




That is where I would have liked to stay for awhile longer, but here is me at 18 weeks (1 1/2 weeks later):



Maybe you don't see the largeness of the belly that I see, but nevertheless, it is expanding quickly. The nursery is still in progress, but here are a few photos of it in the process:





We love you all!

Look at your little babies grow! I can't believe the progression of your photos...I think you make such a cute pregnant Mom!

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure you'll forget how bad it is. The good news is that you probably won't have a pregnancy that is this hard ever again. Whenever I complain, Jordan tells me that I really must not remember last time- and I really don't.

Anyway, you look great! Thanks for the update.

Send me an email and I'll invite you to our private blog.

Oh, you look very cute with your growing belly.
I love what you are doing with the nursery. Can't wait to see the finished result.
We'll have to try to get together again soon. We'll be in touch about it.
