Pregnancy. The New Thin.
So. The hospital called to schedule my c-section for next month.
Gulp.
It turns out I really AM pregnant with twins. It's not a dream. It's funny how my massively growing belly neglected to clue me in to the reality of their impending arrival NEXT MONTH. Odd, that.
This is what a twin 32 week pregnancy looks like. This week's ultrasound measured each baby at 4.5 pounds which, although physically uncomfortable, is mentally comforting given an increased risk of pre-term birth.
But what does it feel like? It's vastly different than my singleton pregnancy with Toddler and I hope this indescribable sensation doesn't fade in my memory. It's a cross between dwarfs break dancing and a ferris wheel in my uterus. True, that.
Wow, next month?! Haha, I'm guessing this pregnancy has gone faster for the rest of us than for you!
Congratulations! You are getting close! What an amazing adventure...
I'm STILL jealous. Your belly is adorable.
True, that.
Next month? Next month! Wow! I'm so excited for you.
I hope you're doing well. I spent all of last night tossing and turning. When Baby Girl get antsy, she kicks until I turn over. I can only imagine what TWO is like.
Whoa, next month, that sure seems like it went fast, well to me anyway. I can only guess what 2 moving around can feel like.
they are such great weights!!! i can't believe yow TINY you look! summer babies - at least it won't be cold when you're up in the middle of the night!!! hehe hugs :)
I love the belly. I am sure mine was bigger than that all three of my pregnancies, and I had all singles! Can't wait to find out what the genders are!
next month???? what the?????? wow. get busy lady!
Dang Dwarves!! It's cute, though. Really. Cute preggo belly. Dwarves and all.
L.
You looks SO great!!!! I can't believe you are 32 WEEKS!!!!! Time has just flown by! I just can't believe it. My girls were 5 lbs each (about) at 36 weeks so you are doing great!!! I can't wait to see your babies!!!
Take care - Kellan
Oh, it is wonderful. Can't wait to see them. They are a good weight and that must be reassuring!
Love your description of the dwarfs break dancing or a ferris wheel! maybe a combination of the two!
Wow. I'm just eagerly awaiting pictures. That was a fast 9 months (for me, not you - obviously).
Wow...next month!?! So exciting. You look FABULOUS though!
OMG, you are completely adorable.
You look amazing! And not very big for 9 lbs of baby in there!
(OMG where'd you get that bracelet? I LOVE that!)
oh, i so so so wish i had pregnancy pictures. this makes me sad. for me. happy for you!
dwarfs breakdancing. he he (well, your bladder probably doesn't think it's that funny)
Dude! That is the best looking belly! And, there are two in there? No way!
Sorry....goofed my link..well, the link is fine, but the title is wrong...I put up a new one.
Wow! Already? Seems like time has really flown by. Then again, I'm not the one who has the break dancing ferris wheel action inside :)
You look fabulous by the way. I would have never guessed there were two in there!
VERY descriptive! I can't believe you're that close to delivery -- of course, pregnancy always goes pretty fast when it's the other person (like I have any idea what I'm talking about).
Wow...almost there! So exciting!
So awesome to hear what it's like! Can't say that I ever want to go down that path again, but I can't wait to see your beauties here.
2 4.5 lb babies sounds totally magnificent! You really don't look as big as I expected you would this far along. :)
Thank you for your awesome comment earlier! You made my day! But left me wondering what you thought I looked like. . . ;0)
Love the belly shot. Love the bracelet too. :)
Wow time flies when it's someone else's pregnancy. ;) You look great!
Already?? Wow! You're looking a whole lot better than I imagined a mom-to-be of twins might look, MUCH smaller! Congrats!
"It's a cross between dwarfs break dancing and a ferris wheel in my uterus." Hahahaha!
I'm sorry. I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing with you.
Your babies are a great weight! And your belly looks amazing! Wish I could get a belly self-portrait half as nice as yours have been. Love your bracelet too.
I still maintain that you look way too cute to be carrying 2 and I should know! I looked 2 months overdue when I was 32 weeks!
this makes my heart so happy. You are gorgeous. these lives you are creating are gorgeous.
I am just so happy for you
love the belly shot. You look great. :)
happy PSF!
Wow, that's coming quickly! And even more so for you, lol. You look amazing - I wish I'd looked that good with singleton pregnancies! :)
You LOOK AWESOME! how exciting! (and I agree with Cecily - I'm slightly jealous)
I can't believe it's next month!! AH!!! So exciting.
You look fabulous btw.
What a beautiful belly! Please tell me you edited all the stretch marks out... otherwise that's an even more amazing belly!
(and I'd be very jealous)
Next month? Surely there's another four months to go? No? Where did the time go?
Isn't it funny how quickly the time really goes even though some days feel like they could be a week long?
A ferris wheel in there, huh? Having only had singles, I can't even imagine how different it must feel.
Best of luck!
BTW, I'm running a children's book giveaway this week - you're all welcome to drop by & enter.
What a blessing! I made it to 35, and I was twice your size;) You look wonderful!
I love that belly shot. True, that.
My pregnant belly was never that beautiful! True, that!!!
You know I'm so happy for you...I can't wait to see your twinkies!
Beautiful belly :) Next month, huh?? Woohoo, teeny tinies are on their way!!! :)
Wow, your belly looks so beautiful I just want to run over there and give it a rub ;) (Just kidding, about the rubbing part, it is beautiful!). I only carried one baby at a time and I am covered with nasty stretch marks. Take Care!
Baby bellies are the best! I loved my belly every minute I was pregnant...until it started to get in the way!
Congratulations!
9 pounds is allota baby! So what will they be at term? You look great, I can't wait!
Ah, you look beautiful! I can't imagine what it's like having two little ones in there. I had enough activity with just one at a time. Do they ever get hiccups at the same time...that would quite interesting. :)
AMAZING. you really look amazing!!!
congrats...and wishing you EASY c-section in a month *giddy*
That is a beautiful shot.
I look at your pregnant belly and it makes me think of the stories in the news about women who go into labor not knowing they were pregnant!! :)
Wow, your world is gonna change--and soon. I have two sister-in-laws who each had two sets of twins. They were so busy! best wishes to you and your little ones :)

I think you're looking good. :) My stretch marks are absolutely horrid right now so you won't be seeing that picture that's for sure. I have an ultrasound next week, 34 weeks, to find out if they are going to schedule an inversion and if that fails a c-section at 37 weeks. Little boy blue is truly breech and not moving. So we'll see about that one. The end is in site all will be well. :)
I read a previous post when you mentioned twins and I thought you were being serious. See You put it out there ad it came true...funny that... you look great
You look SO TINY for having twins! How is that possible??? You look amazing!!!
And next month already! Wow! Reality check. ;)
Beautiful, babies.
Beautiful, bracelet.
Beautiful, you.
Cannot believe it's next month!! Have you chosen names?
You are so much smaller than I was at this point!!
Lookin' good, Mama!
You look sooo beautiful! And small. I would so never guess that you have twins and that you are that close to delivery. I am so excited for you!!
Good luck to you. My sister has twin boys and...
Well, good luck.
I know you'll probably be all like "whatever lady, you're not carrying two..." but you really don't look THAT big to me! You carry it well, girl! Really, really well.
I can't believe it's next month already! Sounds like the babies are doing great and it will be so fun to "meet" them. Hope you are resting up now as much as you can and praying for strong, healthy little ones... : )
Holy smokes!! I can't get over how frickin' amazing you look being 8 months pregnant with TWINS!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
So soon...wow.
Thinking of you chicka.
btw- LOVE the bracelet!!
Ooooh. All the best for a safe delivery for you and the baby. My wife is only now entering the fourth month. And we are already so excited :-)
Wow! What a beautiful pregnant belly. Those descriptions of ferris wheel and dwarves are so vivid to imagine! :) Am thrilled for you. 1 month and counting...
Happy summer months, all.
And looking forward to news in June...
WOOWWWWY!! MY ONE daughter was 8 pounds, and I remember my tummy weighing a TON. Man, it was so heavy to turn over at night! You have at least 9 pounds going on in there. NICE!!
you carry it well Babe!!! best wishes to your new arrivals!!
Never a pregnant woman's belly toucher, I feel the need to reach out and touch the screen.
NEXT MONTH! EEEEEEEEEK!
Wow, I can't even fathom. How's your bladder holding up ;-)
I think of you every time I think "omg, what was i thinking" and hoping you're coping well.
My theory: During the last month of 2nd pregnancy, I couldn't pick up, run after, or roll around with MetaBoy. That was my body's way of helping him adjust to the reality that I would be off limits for a little while. Once MetaGirl was born, he didn't expect as much of me as he did back when. Sad, but a relief because it would be much harder to deny that sad little face just because I wasn't allowed to pick him up (post c-section, that is). And when I had healed, I was all his again...well, sort of. He's happy...that's all that matters!
So, I'm guessing it's been awhile since I've come by. And by "been awhile" I mean I didn't even know you were pregnant. Um, with TWINS! Holy moly! I'm sure I'm only, oh, say 32 weeks late, but congrats! Enjoy the ride. It's thrilling! You look great, btw.
I think you look mahvelous! And I can't believe it's TWINS in there, ferris wheel or no ferris wheel!!!
Hi. Didn't link up because I don't have a photo to play with at the moment, but just had to comment! This is just a beautiful photo!
Congrats from your newest reader :)
Love love LOVE it! What a great looking little baby house you have there...and next month already?! Wow!
Beautiful!! Has it really gone by so quickly? (shoot me now, it's like people telling me my husband's deployment sure has flown by-- whatevah).
Next month, how exciting!!
Hang in there Sweetie, just hang in there. I swear your skin won't split!
I'm here from Tracey Clark's blog and I'm always intrigued and admire women who leave a successful career to stay homes with their little ones. After all, I'm one of those! Congratulations on your twins. I'm going to join your linky now.
WOW! Next month? I can still remember the post where you introduced your uterus with the two little sacs! So quick!
You've got a really cute bump there.
You're awesome - have I told you that lately? :)
WOW. Next month, seriously? WOW.
And your baby bump is a. dor. able.
:)
You look FABulous!!! Seriously. And I really love your bracelet!! Hope you are still feeling comfortable.....well...as can be!
Wow. Nothing like an actual date to bring it all home. Yikes!! Here's hoping the little jumping beans stay inside until their scheduled debut!
I love, love, love, love that bracelet! And you look HAWT!
I've been viewing your blog for a long time and got excited when I heard the c-section has been scheduled.
It's like you're my neighbor and I want to knock on your door with some fresh baking and chat. Beautiful belly. Beautiful bracelet!
Bonne chance!
You look awesome!!!
And I am loving that bracelet! Please tell us where you got it....
Okay, did you edit that photo to take out the stretch marks? Your belly is perfect.
Wow- time sure flies!! I can't believe it's almost time. You look soooo amazing.
How beautiful! Next month, really? It just seemed to fly by. But of course for you it probably seemed like forever. Best wishes for a safe and healthy delivery.
Wow I cannot believe it's next month. You look fantastic. :)
LOVE this picture! I can't believe it's next month already!!!
I feel so uncomfortable with one at 34 weeks I imagine how you must feel...congrats :-)
look how beautiful your tummy is!!
soon right - just another week or so??
