One day I'll look back and find this interesting



Today I decided to see how big around I am at my largest-- which happens to be my belly button. Are you ready? I'm 3" bigger around than Pookie is tall.

Now that is a funny way to keep track of heights/widths. You're getting closer, you're getting closer . . . don't forget to tell us how much wider you are than Pookie is tall at the end.

I don't even know how big that is. But it made me think a lot. But I'm sure you feel HUGE. I say yeah to babies.

Abbey said...

Really? You really don't look that big. You look great! I'm sure you can't wait until they are here :)

You are awesome.

Holy cow you are more brave than I was! Way to keep those two guys in there. You look fantastic! Good luck.
P.S.
What are you measuring? I always was at least 10 weeks ahead. So even when I delivered at 32 I measured 42. It doesn't seem fair does it?

Michelle-
Tomorrow I have an appointment with the OB and I'm very anxious to see what I'm measuring week-wise. In this pic, that I took Sunday, I was 48" around. Monday I measured 48 1/2" and today I measure 49" around. At this rate I'll be needing a new skirt before Sunday. lol

P.S. I've been meaning to ask you about ligaments. On Friday, I had a round ligament rip. I thought I was going to die. Apparently it's common with multiples' pregancies-- but I've never heard of it before. Have you?

I think you look great. You're all baby sticking out straight. Too bad that you have to go through such a hot summer down in California. Much luck, shade or AC.

Nick and Emily said...

that's awesome. scrapbook moment right there for sure. definitely worth remembering.

FluffyChicky said...

You look wonderful! Seriously!

But your way of measuring yourself made me laugh. That is hilarious!

Michelle said...

No rips to the ligament that I was aware of. All I know is that I was always in pain or some sort of unceasing state of ache from about 28 weeks on.
I can't believe how far along you are. I was on modified bedrest at this point. How are you handling it all? Have they got you down yet?
Have you got any names picked out yet? That was the fun part for us.
Well hang in there. You're doing great. I can't imagine doing this with other children to take care of. You're amazing!

I'm so glad you added a picture. Very nice belly. I can't believe you have two babies growing in you. It is amazing.

Nikki you look amazing. I can't believe you have two babies in there.
