26 weeks and counting...

I have been meaning to take some pictures of my growing belly... and here I am 26 weeks pregnant and I finally took a picture. The sad part is, I never took any profile shots when I was pregnant with Hailey; so with one picture down, I am already doing better than the first time around.
I feel like I still have a long way to go and I'm also wondering how big and uncomfortable I am going to get. If I lay down on my back I get light headed, if I lay on my side my leg ends up going numb, and standing or sitting put alot of pressure on my stomach. But the good news is that everything is going smoothly so far. I haven't gone into premature labor and haven't really had any contractions yet. The babies are growing really well, and at my last ultra sound baby A was 2 lbs. 3 oz. and baby B was 1 lb. 14 oz. So, my plan is to try and do whatever I can to keep these babies in as long as I can.
And on the note of my last ultra sound, we were able to see a lot of things... maybe even too much. First, one of the babies was literally kicking the other one in the head, which I'm sure won't be the last time that happens. Then the ultra sound tech showed us one of the babies hands and his "part" telling us that boys develop those habits early. I didn't really know how to respond, so I just looked over at Greg and laughed. I can already tell these boys are going to be trouble.

Who are we kidding you look great for 26 weeks with twins! That is so funny that already you can start to see some of the crazy things boys do, even in the womb (ha ha ha!)

FIrst- we need to invent some sort of "bubble" you can live in from this point on so you don't have to sit, stand, lay or walk. Just float.
Second- Those boys are too funny!

You guys are in for a wild ride for sure. Your belly is so big! I think you are already bigger than I was when I had Alex. We haven't seen you guys in forever! We need to have dinner this weekend. No excuses!

Look how cute you are. I haven't taken a pic yet of my belly. I should do that. Sounds like things are going great. I hope you don't get too uncomfrontable. Good luck1
