In case you can't tell (or are blind), I'm ready. I'm BEYOND ready.
Yesterday's ultrasound measured each twin at 6 pounds 3 ounces. Sleeping, sitting, standing, even breathing are officially becoming a physical impossibility.
One thing is for certain. Come hell or high water, they will make a debut soon. If they don't arrive in the next few days, my c-section is scheduled for late next week.
I'm anxious. I'm anxious for the delivery. I'm anxious for their health. I'm anxious to meet them. I'm anxious for Toddler to meet them. And I'm anxious to find out their genders. My Aunt recently died and her last words to me were "Oh, by the way, they're both girls". I'm still going with 1 boy, 1 girl. Sam's pulling for 2 more boys to neatly complete a golf foursome. So much for a consensus.
Alas, let the games begin.
Did you PhotoShop or do you simply not have stretchmarks? I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou (or your belly, anyway!) look fabulous! All the best for a safe, speedy delivery and happy, healthy babies!!
Am I really the first commenter?!
ReplyDeleteYour belly is beautiful, and it's so cool the babies are over six pounds. I hope everything goes great! (I'll root for one of each too.)
I am definitely done. That breathing and walking bit? It would be nice to be able to do those things again. I bet you'll deliver before me!
Wow! You are at 36 weeks and your TWINS are already as big as I was when I was born!? Funny, that I'm talking about when I was born. On today of all days.
ReplyDeleteSo my vote is for a quick delivery. Today. It's a good day. ;)
Really?! how can you not look HUGE? I was massive!
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to meet your babies either!
You must be exhausted.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good weight for twins.
Well I hope that by next week we will know whether it is boys, girls or one of each!
All the best for a healthy delivery.
12 pounds of baby?
ReplyDeleteOUCH.
Girl, grab a fru fru drink and enjoy the pampering. Sending delivery (not deliverance) thoughts your way. :)
STILL can't believe how TINY ur! seriously! 6 lbs each - they are such great weights!!! and i bet you're feeling every ounce right now!
ReplyDeletewill the aunt be right???
I'm convinced that my daughter is trying to claw her way out of me. HA!
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you next week. I hope you have a healthy delivery and an easy recovery.
Holy crumbs my friend...that is a beautiful belly. I'm not kidding. My belly always looked like a topographical map or something by that time and I was only carrying one.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of not fair. I kind of feel mad at you. But in a good, "I'm so excited for you!!!" kind of way. :)
We'll all be thinking of you in the coming weeks. XOXO
Oh wow, it's quite amazing you made it to full term with twins and without bedrest. Having said that, I bet you'd love some bedrest right about now. GOOD LUCK!! I'm anxious to see photos.
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet! Such a fabulous belly! I am so excited for you and I can't wait to see them.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious for you!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe delivery. We're all looking forward to meeting your twins...no matter what gender.
So excited for you! You look amazing, well your belly does...and your arm does!
ReplyDeleteYou should put these belly shots in a row in a frame or at least a scrapbook.
That so exciting! I'm so excited for you!!!
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible that you have TWO babies in there?! You look fabulous! I hope your aunt is right!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome. Best wishes to you and babies!!!!!!!!! Post a pic as soon as you can!
ReplyDeleteWhew! you look ready but you still look great! Good luck holding out until their arrival (oh, and I'm betting on girls!)
ReplyDeleteYou really look great. Honest. I'm sure you feel differently these days though.
ReplyDeleteI'm crossing my fingers you have a quick and easy delivery...soon!
WOW! Look at you! Best wishes for a great delivery. Thinking of you and you wee ones. =)
ReplyDeleteYou Look Awesome! What a perfect beautiful belly. I can't wait to find out what you are having! So exciting.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with your aunt! You know that the main thing is that everyone is healthy and happy. May it be so - I'm praying for you!
ReplyDeleteTink *~*~*
Jacaranda at EPCOT
wow - first of all, you look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, congrats on making it 36 weeks with twins - that is great!!!
Hang in there. It won't be much longer now!
I am so excited for you. Soon and very soon, you are going to join the Mom of Multiples club.
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful--wow! I'll keep you in my prayers, I hope everything goes well.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, two babies? Over 6 pounds? That alone is really awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, fabulous, marvelous!
Are we going to get to see these babes when they make their appearances? I can't wait!
I wish you a speedy delivery and recovery and two happy, bouncing babies.
You look amazing! Good luck and I hope it happens sooner than later for you. I cannot wait to meet the babes.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. I have had two babies (not at the same time!) and the biggest one was 6 pounds 4 ounces!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I was uncomfortable!
Good luck!
You're so close! It sounds like the twins are at a very healthy and sustainable weight -- very good.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I hope they come soon, I remember how miserable my wife was towards the end (and she didn't even make it to 36 weeks with the last two).
For my money, I say it's two girls.
I'm saying one girl, one boy. But I've got a really scrappy track record on this subject!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, I posted for last Friday as well, but I was in the Outback, so didn't have the chance to add my link here!
ReplyDeleteoh, your aunt. i want her to be right. just because.
ReplyDeleteof course, happiness in healthy babies of any ilk.
love the bracelet, BTW
I'm guessing one of each, just because that is what I thought you were having. You have a beautiful belly! I can't wait to see them.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing, well at least the belly does! I'm pretty sure I was that big with each of my single births. Can't wait to find out the genders!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you are feeling very ready! I, um, well, remember how last time I said that you really didn't look that big to me? I take that back! :) You are huge as a house girl! ;0)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you!! What a great time of anticipation. Your belly is darling..;)
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous! And I can't wait for their debut! All the best to you, and your family. Will keep you in our thoughts for a healthy, safe and memorable delivery! (I'm routing with your late aunt, 2 girls!). Best thoughts my friend! Welcome the TWINS!!! Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteHi babies! we already love you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope its soon and all goes well.
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 year anniversary of hosting Photo Story Friday--I'll be looking forward to reading the story you post after the twins arrive.
gorgeous baby belly
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for ...I got to 35wks 3 days and I was over it (they were born the next day)
are your bags packed ? Mine weren't !
Twins boys are awesome ...what else can I say ?
Happy birthing and I can't wait to find out what flavour you got.
Oh my gosh, what an awesome picture! But seriously! Six pounds each - Wowzer!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait
You simply are beautiful my friend! Even your belly is beautiful! NOBODY looks that good when they are pregnant....especially with twins! I'm going to go with your aunt and say two girls. For your sake, I hope they decide to announce their arrival VERY soon as I am sure that you are beyond ready. So glad that they are both over six pounds....wow! Hope all goes well and I'll be waiting for the big announcement!!
ReplyDeleteYour belly is gorgeous. No stretch marks? Awe. Some. :)
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts you way that it'll happen at the right time, and everything will go fine. :) I can't wait to see beautiful pictures of the babies.
Fingers crossed for one of each! :)
Very beautiful tummy! May you have a safe delivery.
ReplyDeleteMy PSF entry is now up.
YOUR BELLY IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand I'm as anxious as you are!
ReplyDeleteI gave my twins a normal birth, no C-section. how ever you will do it, i wish you the best.
great belly. I had no stretchmarks either.
12 and 1/2 pounds of baby! I would be ready as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a restful weekend!
I am rooting for you to have at least one girl in the bunch!!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping and praying for you and the babies good health....
How exciting! You are looking great. I cannot wait to find out what they are :) I'm going with one boy, one girl.
ReplyDeletei think you look FANTASTIC. Hell, my belly looked like that (worse in fact) with only one baby in there!!!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking happy, easy labor thoughts for you!!!
Oh that is a beautiful tummy! Good luck for the birth and cannot wait to hear that story ;)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteNo stretch marks...WOW!!
You look amazing!
poor belly - just relax as much as you can - and good luck with the C-sect!! don't try to do too much afterward or you will get scar tissue!!
ReplyDeleteMy crystal ball says 1 boy, 1 girl.
ReplyDeleteFO SHO.
GOOD LUCK. XOXOXOXOXOX.
Great picture!! I'm so excited for you, and will be praying for a healthy delivery SOON! Can't wait to find out their genders!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say about that is: Beeeeautiful Belly!!
ReplyDeleteL.
You look simply fantastic!!! I was very lucky to have never gotten stretch marks with my twins (quite an accomplisment) and you seem to be lucky too. You're belly is just perfect and I know those babies are too and can't wait to meet them. I just can't believe it is already time - so close!!!! I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteTake care - Kellan
Oh girl, you are ALMOST there! And you look great but I'm sure it's somewhat uncomfortable. I can't wait to find out who's right in the gender debate! Take care and enjoy these last few days... : )
ReplyDeleteAll I can mutter is WOW (I was a wimp with one 6 pound baby at 41 weeks) followed by a GOOD LUCK!
ReplyDelete-SamIAm
Oh and remember. Rest when they rest.
ReplyDelete:O
-SamIAm
You look absolutely fantastic! I can't wait for them, either, and my gut says one of each;) Just like my babies. Who'll be 18 next month....
ReplyDeleteThat's one beautiful belly! You take care and relax as much as you can till your C.
ReplyDeleteWow - you've made it, and I can't believe you're already almost done and they they both weigh almost as much as my first-born! Way to grow-'em large girl! But to be honest, your belly is SMALL. Really. It is! Enjoy this next week of scerene calmness to your lives. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful pregnant belly ever.. and with two in there. I'm sending best thoughts your way for a safe, healthy, happy and beautiful delivery.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute. :) (I'm sure you'll appreciate it more in the future looking back at the pictures than you probably do at this particular moment in time. If I get a vote it's for one boy, one girl. :) Good luck! Can't wait to "meet" the new little angels.
ReplyDeleteEach one is 6 pounds!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteAt least you know they are good and big so that should mean healthy. I can't even imagine getting around anymore. It will be fun to see if your aunt is right ... maybe she got some vision at the end. best of luck ... I imagine you'll be a mom of 3 very very soon and we might not be hearing from you for awhile. Best of luck and best wishes for a safe, fast delivery and healthy babies!
Oh wow! Twins! I think your belly is beautiful too! It's hard not to be anxious but you'll do fine! Excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI am astounded at how beautiful and perfect your belly is! A-mazing! I hope you have taken lots of pictures and captured this time in lots of ways. :) But yes, I imagine you are SO done. ha! Sending you labor vibes, mama. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! Can't wait to hear all about the babes and see the pictures of them with your toddler! He will adore them I am sure! Best Wishes and hope it all happens quick and smoothly! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new bundles of joy! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThere are such things as mixed foursomes, 'k?
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and all. Wow, time flies when you're not the knocked-up-with-twins one.
I too think you look fantastic!!! Seriously my arms were WAY fat with only one baby each time!!
ReplyDeleteYou rock sister! Here's to breathing soon without two children laying on your lungs!
:)
I think you look AWESOME! Congrats- it has been far too long since I have visited your site. Sending lots of good labor vibes your way... if there is such a thing :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm going to be a terrible reference for c-sections. Although I know what you mean about being ready. At 37 weeks this past Tuesday the 9th, I felt beyond ready myself. Everything went fine with the c-section even if I didn't like it, and E.C. is still in NICU right now. But he's doing better and we're hopeful he'll be home next week.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all will go well! I can't wait to see pictures of these little bambinos. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out if she was right! Good luck next week...I hope everything goes well!
ReplyDeleteOh Lordy! I remember it well. COMPLETE DISCOMFORT! This too shall pass. This too shall pass. This too shall pass. This too shall pass...
ReplyDeleteA HUGE congrats to you for making it to 36 weeks! My fingers are crossed that your duo arrived healthy and quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou look sooooo amazing!! I'm with ValleyGirl- where are your stretch marks!! How wonderful that they are both over 6 pounds, it must be such a relief to have gone this long.
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful. It's so amazingly wonderful. We can't wait either.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait to hear what your little ones turn out to be...and who is correct. ;) You look wonderful and amazing. Best wishes for a fast, safe and wonderful entrance for your two little babes.
ReplyDeleteIt's so great that you've been able to carry those babies for this long. I was 6 pounds when I was born and I turned out OK :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Can't wait to see the two girls. (I'm from a family of girls, with two nieces also in the family.)
Beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSending healthy babies, smooth delivery mojo your way!
You look fantastic. True story.
ReplyDeleteWooohooo! It's almost baby time! Good luck with those two girls. ;-)
I've been out of town and without internet for 2 weeks. You look absolutely gorgeous for 36 weeks! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear all about your babies, my friend!!! Hope you're all happy and healthy. Much love!
You are lookin' good! I know YOU probably don't think that, but everybody else does!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the big news! Interesting about your Aunt...
Oh wow! Can't wait to hear the good news!!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!! I'm sending happy thoughts and good wishes for a healthy delivery and two little bundles of joy to be in your arms soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so sorry to hear of your aunt's passing.
Dear Lord, woman! You look amazing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are here by now. Either way, be well and enjoy.
Hope all is well. I'm assuming that the silence and lack of posts means you are in labour or have already given birth.
ReplyDeleteEither way, God bless you and the clan.
Hoping that all is well!
ReplyDeleteTink *~*~*
Lovely photograph, even if the reality is a little uncomfortable. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping that everything goes well.
ReplyDeleteGreat Belly! I'm only 29 weeks, and I'm SO ready too.
ReplyDeleteI hope they come to meet you soon.
Wow, what a gorgeous belly! Esp. for carrying twins!
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to know how big I was carrying just one...
Good luck!
Wooooow! What a beautiful, rounded, full of life belly.
ReplyDeletehttp://digitalpolaroids.blogspot.com/2009/06/funny-goat.html
Methinks the blog silence indicates new babies at home! Just adding my wishes for a healthy happy birth and hope you get some rest. Beautiful belly!
ReplyDeleteI did a PS this week.
I'm hoping that your lack of posting this week means the babies are here! Can't wait to hear!!
ReplyDeleteYep. I'm with the rest, here's hoping no posts mean that you're sleeping and enjoying your beautiful healthy new twins! Can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteTotally late coming by MG, but holy cats what a gorgeous perfect belly!
ReplyDeleteBy now, I'm sure it is quickly shrinking back to it's pre-baby size and hope all is well.
God bless you and your family. Can't wait to see and hear more of your new adventure!!
DUDE. ARE THEY HERE?
ReplyDeleteANXIOUSLY WAITING.
So anxious to meet your sweet babies! Hope all is well and you and your darling twins are home and enjoying each other. Take care and I'll check back soon.
ReplyDeleteKellan
you must have had them BY NOW!! come on - we're on tenderhooks!!!!'
ReplyDeletewhen's the big reveal? it's not like you're busy or anything.....
hugs - can't wait to meet those 2 girls!!!!!
Hoping by now you are just swamped with caring for all your babies. I keep peeking in hoping for news. :) Looking forward to seeing the new family members. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long while since I've check in with you. Your belly looks great. I can't wait to meet your little ones. I hope everything goes/went well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. This is a gorgeous shot. Again, I am so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing. No one would ever guess you had TWO 5-6 lbs.ers in there.
ReplyDeleteI didn't look like I was having twins either.......but mine were only 4.4 and 4.5. And I got stretch marks, unlike you, it' looks like. :)
I'll be 36 next week--Tuesday. I think my belly is bigger than yours.
ReplyDeleteWell, bigger than yours was :)
You did not look enormous the whole time. Beautiful. And (since I'm going backwards), I'm glad you got one of each!
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW you're all in our thoughts .....
ReplyDeleteYour stomach is really excellent. You're really very happy woman. I am in the eighth month of pregnancy but my stomach is very small and I very worry about it.
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeletePregnancy is indeed a very mysterious thing for me. Now I also believe this is one of God's miracle. Great photo you have here. By the way, there's a new social networking site dedicated to parents and kids, it's called Bluepixo.com - it's a place for Moms, Dads, and Kids! Now, there’s even a chance to win a free iPod Nano!. It would be so nice of you to join our parents’ forums and polls. Thanks a lot and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou look like a freaking model!! How is that??
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that we miss you! My twins 18 months old and I promise, it gets easier!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing for having twins, I was bigger than that with one child in the womb. Good for you! Then end of pregnancy is always the worse! Hope they come soon. Can't wait to see what your having, how fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, your baby belly is GORGEOUS!
