Deuce.
Because y'all are so relentless. This is what a 21 week twin pregnancy looks like.
Yes. I know. I'm UUUUGE. Even our Wii-Fit thinks I'm Wii-Fat.
We had our 20 week prenatal checkup and so far so good. Meeting the twinkies in 4D was spectacular. My path to a pregnancy has been a winding, heartbreaking and incredulous journey that makes typing this seem so surreal. Having ONE child was a miracle. Having siblings for him is a bonus beyond words. Much to our doctor's disbelief, we elected NOT to find out genders because we honestly do not care. If they're healthy, we're happy, that's that.
 Baby A |  Baby B |
Having said that, I foolishly believe in Old Wive's tails. When I was 9, my sister scientifically administered the pencil test on me in our treehouse (whilst on a brief Ouija board break). It confirmed I would someday have 2 boys and 1 girl. You needn't be preggo to have the test; only female. I've never seen it fail...yet.
So, just between you and me, I'm buying pink and blue.

From one Twin-mom to another . . . I'm praying for you. : D My identical boys were born over 20 years ago -- hence I only gotm ultrasound peeks. 4-D . . . EXCITING!!!
You are *not* huge. You look great!
And guess what? I almost posted a belly shot for PSF today. Maybe another time . . . . And we're not finding out the sex either.
Congrats again!
Cool! Hello, Thing 1 and Thing 2!!!
That's a very beautiful shot of you, too!!
You look great! I am only having one and think I was a little, ok maybe a lot bigger at that stage! :) I was just trying to make myself feel better by saying a little! ;)
I think that is the first time I have "seen" you! Love the bracelet by the way.
I am a firm believer in the pencil test too.
That shot totally rocks in B&W.
Hey there Mama-MamaGeek!
You soooo aren't huge! You look fabulous. And, look at those two sweethearts.
I wouldn't find out with twins, either. We didn't find out with our first two!
Thanks for sharing. You look great!
Oh my.. look at those darlings. How cool is that! I'm so excited for you. And your preggo belly shot looks great.
You look great! And your babies are already beautiful!!
Great first shot. Holly is right. I think you look really great and especially for TWINS! Holy mai tai wrap! I can't say I could make out much with those pics but I can tell you I am certainly praying for you! Keep us 'posted'!
Straight from future!
Take care and all the best!
I think you look amazing.
And those 3D previews? Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
I agree! That test works everytime!
Great photos and how exciting. I can't wait to see if the pencil trick works!
That would be so fun to have a boy and girl set of twins.
You look AMAZING!! I only have one in the oven and I don't look that good! You will have to let us know if the pencil test was right! Congratulations!
WOW - those pictures are amazing (they didn't have them back in MY DAY!!!) lol. your hand doesn't look like i imagined it would. 'course, only having a cartoon head to go on, i'm not sure what i was imagining!
i don't think you're big at all - rather tidy actually.
Good for you for not finding out! We did the same thing, and loved it each time. And your belly looks great!
They are precious!!
And I think you're doing really well with your little belly!!
Those are wonderful images of incomparable beauty. I'm a father. I know.
Bless you all.
That is so exciting!
And I think I officially hate you. I was bigger at 20 weeks pregnant with only ONE. You my friend, look FAB.
P.S. I need to know more about the pencil test...think I can google it?
omg I love your belly! It's beautiful. AND YOU'RE NOT FAT!!!!
The babies are so beautiful. I loved having the 4D ultrasounds. Beautiful!!!
Wow, the ultrasound pics are amazingly cool! And you look wonderful. Also? I just did the pencil test on myself, and it says I'm having one more. My husband says we're done, but I keep thinking I want another. This is interesting...
OMG!! I just got all teary seeing your babies! I'm SO excited for you, friend!!!
And let me tell you...Wii-Fit doesn't know what it's talking about. You look great!!!
...btw, we got the Wii online now so tell me what to do so we can play!
You look fabulous and those babies - GORGEOUS!!!! How exciting. You are never going to believe how happy those babies are going to make you - it will be 100 times the happy you can imagine!!!
Thanks for showing us your belly - makes it seem more real to us.
Take care - Kellan
Pink and blue . . . well, you've covered you bases.
And, you look fantastic. You can tell you are going to be one of those women pregnant with a basket ball (a large basketball) and the rest of you will be all cute and exhausted . . .
Look at you! Cute!
You look just amazing! Super cute belly. I didn't find out the sex of my second but I was sure she was a girl. I bet your gut/OWT is right. How awesome to have one of each. I am anxious (as I am sure you are too) to find out.
OMG. So darn cute, I can't stand it. Love the belly and I think you look fab. For real. And love your bracelet in the photo!!!
They're adorable! And I honestly, really, truly don't think you look fat! There are TWO in there, and you've already had a baby! Skinny in my book!
At first I thought you meant you 'hit the deuce' - broke 200 lbs. but the picture confirmed you haven't.
And huge would be my ass - not your belly...
(o;
Me and my IVF babies ( who will be 18 in July) are sending you lots of love. And laughs. Wait til the day when your belly button is completely smooth. It won't be that long;) I wan to come be the nanny.
I think you look great! What a cute picture. :)
Isn't there also a string test?
You are so not huge. It's beautiful.
Aww look at the little things.
I don't know the pencil test. Curious.
Look at you! You look beautiful!
And that definitely looks like one girl and one boy baby in the pics. Definitely.
Gimme a break girl, you are SO not big....I was actually probably close to that big with my SINGLETON...you look terrific!
You don't look HUGE! That is such a sweet belly bump :) I love those 4-D images!
Sorry, I signed the linky and my guys started yelling that it was time for a wii band get together. But I'm back.
Wow! Those photos are amazing! Now I'm all anxious to see if the pencil test was right!
We did the wedding ring test. Mine, so far, is incorrect. At least the order.
Congrats on the twins!
Those are the sweetest pictures. You look so good..heck I know wii would kick me off..and I am not pregnant!!
You are most definitely not huge! I was that size with only one.
And now if we ever meet someday I'll know just what you look like.
WHAT???????
WHERE HAVE I BEEN???? I didn't even know you were expecting!!! What kind of bloggy friend am I? I SUCK!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
I think you look amazing. You are carrying twins for heavens sake! You look great! Yay, you!
Congratulations again. Please forgive my lateness.
Your bump looks cute! Not huge at all.
The 4D images are amazing aren't they. Thanks so much for sharing.
awwwwwwwww congrats!!!
Life is amazing to see at any stage -- and I would never question the intuition of a mother (even if you get your information from the nether regions).
Wow, those ultrasound photos are amazing!! And you are absolutely NOT huge - at all! I was bigger than that at 21 weeks, and that was with just one baby... :)
awwwww!!!!!
You look GREAT! :) and so do the beebs. ♥ Great post!
Happy PSF!
You are *not* fat. C'mon now. Seriously.
And those 4-D ultrasounds are AWESOME. Those babies are tooo cute. :)
You are SOOOO NOT huge! You look fabulous! And so do the little ones!! Hope you are feeling well!
Beautiful photo. I love belly shots! I'm glad to hear that all is well with the twins.
Amazing pictures. Must make you feel closer to the tiny twins, than ever, actually seeing their little faces!
There was no such thing as scans, when I was pregnant. Just had to wait and see what popped out.
Luckily, mine were fantastic and I had one of each (Not at the same time!) Two different occasions!
That's a beautiful photo. Beautiful belly. And beautiful babies!
Woo Hoo! Congrats! They are precious and you look wonderful! Here's to another wonderful, healthy, and amazing 20 weeks.
I'm praying for you. hope that pink and blue will be useful :)
You look great. It is all baby (babies) belly.
I am so happy for you. I love seeing the sonogram pictures, it is such an amazing day. Thanks for sharing them, it put a big smile on my face.
Wow your belly looks awesome and those ultrasound photos, well there are no words. They don't have 3D ultrasound here (as far as I know) and I am jealous!
Wii Schmii don't pay it any attention.
I can't believe how clear those u/s pictures are. Congratulations!
I am still in awe of the pregnant belly, and of the 3-D ultrasounds. You look great!
I think it's more like 'Wii-preggo' and adorable.
I think I looked like that at 21 weeks on pregnancy number 2 and I only had one in there. YOu look great!
Oh, and we ended up with 6 inches of snow yesterday. Hope you all survived it, too. At least the kiddos enjoy it...even if we are so sick of winter. :)
Beautiful post! You look fantastic and not huge at all. Can't wait to "meet" the two new family members later this year!
p.s. I've taken the pencil test too although I can't remember what it told me. I'm sure it wasn't triplet girls-HA!
You look perfect!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing the u/s pics too! They made me squeal in delight! :)
Ooooh those u/s pics are so sweet and you look mahr-vah-lous. Love the b&w.
oh man girl - YOU ARE SKINNY!
Love the 4-D photos of your little ones - I adore getting those shots while pregnant!
I have always wanted a 4d photo of the babes. Maybe I should try this pencil test to see if I'll be able to!
And I LOVE that B&W shot. Awesome.
Oh I love it! Too cool! The 4-D stuff is way cool, little trippy, but awesome :)
you look beautiful.
You look amazing! And your twinkies look great too -- I can't wait for them to get here!
I love when people don't know what they are having - it's always so fun! Of course I am terrible about surprises (which is the reason why I know what three of my coworkers are having when I don't -- yay for knowing how to do ultrasounds and tell gender!)
wow, your concept of large and mine are SO different. Your tummy is beautiful-- the photo is lovely. I would've loved to have a photo done like that (after 5 kids, no stretch marks, I thought the tummy should be in a frame). The 4d peek, that is so exciting!!
OMG, you do not look huge, I think you look perfect!
I love the surprise of not knowing, I did that with both of my pregnancies as well, but I have to say, if there were two in there, I would be VERY tempted to know.
CONGRATS!!!
This is stunning.
You don't look huge....you look pregnant! And you look great.
The new sonogram images are so neat. Nothing like 10 years ago when I had my last munchkin.
I'm new here and must say, I'm reading it like a book. I am pregnant with 1, I can NOT imagine 2! Best wishes.
Those pics are amazing!! So, so cool!
My GOODNESS!!! From now on I'm calling you Mamasexy - right from your very neat belly to your sexy bangles, you look FANTASTIC! Those 4D scan images are amazing, just look at those little angels! I'm so happy that everything is going well, I hope you are able to rest, hehe, at least a little... I had been closer, I would definitely have sent something over...(one pink and one blue...)
Really - you're not huge at all! And to be totally honest - I think I'm pretty darn close to the same size as you....at 18 weeks! How many weeks were you when you found out there were 2 in there?? I'm getting nervous now. Guess we'll find out on the 11th! That's just too cool. Twins. (oh, and we never find out gender, either) SOOO exciting to wait!
You are BEAUTIFUL and I think you have a tiny tummy for having 21 week twins. What an amazing shot and being in black and white is even more appealing to me.
I'm going with some pink and blue. I think you have one of each. And the sonos are so cool aren't they? We had one done with Izzy and it was amazing to watch her "play" in the womb.
Thanks for sharing! I knew you'd give in! *HUGS*
Wow! What amazing pictures of your little ones. Very cool. You look amazing too, of course! :)
Those ultrasounds photos are AMAZING! Congratulations!
wii doesn't know everything. wii told me my butt looks big in this. hardly.
your babies look a lot alike. how will you tell them apart?
I tell you -- that is one good-looking pregnancy photo! Very dramatic and stylish! Love the jewelry! But it does look like you are further along!
And the 4D pics were amazing! Wow! How cool!
I'm interested to hear if the pencil test proves true!
Oh for pete's sake--you told you were big?? I'm bigger than that at 11 weeks with only one miracle!! Not kidding! Now, I did not endure all of the weightloss inducing retchedness that you experienced, but still!!! You look fabulous and those little twinkies are beautiful!
I'm so happy for you that you are all very healthy! Can't wait to see more-grow babies grow!!
You look FABULOUS, hun! Really and truly. I know you probably won't believe me, but I speak the truth!!
I'm so excited for you and this adventure and -- I sorta believe that whole pencil test too...shh, don't tell anyone! :)
Wow, you look great for 21 weeks! Glad to hear that you are not finding out, I think that's such a wonderful surprise. And also so happy you shared these pictures with us. I'm honored! : )
You are so funny! There is nothing *huge* to you. You look fantastic!!!
Zofran... Holy scary drug! Hope you are able to go number 2! :)Been on that drug and let me tell you for me it did nothing. I like the phenergan, too bad it is only IV.
Hang in there! You are half way there. Do they know if they are identical?
You look absolutely gorgeous!
You look fab. Great photo of your u/s. How precious.
Great to see photos of you and the twins. So exciting!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! And another whoo-hoo for you!
I'm SO excited for you! I was 4months before I knew I was having twins. We found out what we were have and we did buy blue and pink! Just wait till you are 8 months, then you will be HUGE!
I am so happy for you! It astounds me how clear those 3D ultrasounds are. They didn't have stuff like that when I was having babies. You can't see much on the old style.
May the rest of your pregnancy be happy and healthy - Peace - D
Is it wrong that I want to talk to an image of your stomach on a computer screen?
"You're such a cute little tummy full of babies. Who's a cute baby tummy? Who? Who?"
Sigh. Wish I could babysit. It's the closest I'll get to having another one of my own.
In three months you'll look back and think about how thin you are now.
Look at you!! Awww and your gorgeous babies! I am always amazed by parents that can go with the surprise. I'm just way too much of a planner for the unknown. I can't wait to see if your prediction is correct and I can't wait to follow your growing belly/babies. :) And don't worry at least you have the babies as an excuse, my wii tells me the same thing too and I'm all alone on there. ;)
You look great. And I mean it, Wii be damned.
(Those pictures are so vivid. How exciting.)
Puh-leeze!! If that's what twins looks like at that many weeks, I think you look pretty freakin' fantastic!
Oh, girlfriend. You and the two little ones are beautiful. Congratulations...again.
Oh, and my blue eyed girls wear a lot of pink, and my boy wears pink now too. Buy whatever YOU like and just uh, ENJOY!
Wow, you look incredible! Yay!
Honey, you look amazing! I think I was bigger than you then with only one child. Oh my!
Can't wait to find out what those "twinkies" are in a few months!
Since I am commenter #100, pretty sure there is anything I can say that hasn't already said - but of course you look terrific! :)
Congratulations ... and ohhh wow .. I can't believe those pics of the babies ... never in my pregnancy days ..(.. and it wasn't THAT long ago!!) You look great .. a pregnant belly is a beautiful belly .. all the wonders inside!
Gorgeous, dahling.
Very perfect and healthy looking.
(The pencil test was spot on for me!)
Errr... I'm that big right now. And I'm just full from breakfast! You look awesome. And horray on not finding out - I looove seeing if the theories and gut tests are right. There's SO nothing like finding out when they're delivered.
You look perfectly fabulous! What a blessing for your family...I'm so happy for you!
I never thought I'd get knocked up. I called it my miracle pregnancy.
Never met you but yet I think of your journey.
Peace!
I'm not the only way with slightly strange looking 3-D images. ;) If the baby is in any kind of position I swear they 3-D images look just plain weird. Looking at your picture I'm pretty sure I'm bigger than you are right now though and I'm just having 1! LOL
Oh, if only I looked like what you call "huge" when I was pregnant with our b/g twins 6 years ago.
Man, those sonogram pics are just magnificent!!! It's practically a prenatal portrait.
And, BTW, we didn't find out the sex of ours either. Went in with a post-it note that had several combinations of names. My partner mistook our daughter's umbilical cord for a veeeeery manly alternative, and for about 3 seconds we thought we had two boys. Then the doctor stopped laughing.
Your tum tum is adorable and those pics are SO cool? Isn't the detail just amazing?
what a beautiful picture of you. i wish I had good preggers pictures of me
