The Belly

So, let's have a drum roll......... here are some much asked for "belly pictures." Though our card reader on the computer is still non-functional, Adam and I decided to use his mom's computer to get the pictures off our camera and we put them on our external hard drive. YEAH- he is brilliant. Anyway, I have compiled a few pictures that show my tummy. I have put them in chronological order so you can sort of see the progression.

Just for kicks... Taken March 22...10 weeks. I know I am not "showing" but I felt like I was. The pants I was wearing were rubber banded shut. This was at the peak of my sick months I think, so though I didn't look extremely pregnant, I felt extremely pregnant :)

These two were taken the last day of school- May 30th...20 weeks

Ok- not the best picture of us or of the belly, but if you look you can see it starting to "pop" just a little bit. This was taken in the Sand Dunes May 31st... 20 weeks



Amanda Stevenson, Julie Miller and I June 27th...24 weeks

Working on logistics of turning grandpa's office into a nursery.
I think this was taken June 28th... 24 weeks

Latest picture of me on our camera: taken 4th of July... 25 weeks

I am so brilliant. I thought, "This was a month ago, I am bigger now. I will take one right now." So I got all ready to take it and then realized that I still have the card reader problem. SO- Adam is the brilliant one and I am not :)
I actually have a couple more that were recently taken at a family photo shoot with the Perkins. I need to get them from my sister in law and then I will post those too. It is amazing to me how much bigger I felt( feel) inside than I looked (look) on the outside. Sheesh.

Abby and Courtney asked when my "due date" is. So for all who are interested you get the long answer to that question. I am technically due October 17th. However, my doctors will not let me get to 40 weeks. If the kids have not come by 38 weeks (October 3rd- 11 weeks away) the doctor's will take them anyway. But- 36 weeks is considered full term for twins (September 19th- 9 weeks away) This sounds like a perfect due date to me! AND because pre-term labor is such a huge deal in twin pregnancies if I go into labor they will do anything to stop the labor until 34 weeks (September 5th- 7 weeks away). After this date, if I go into labor the doctors will let our kiddoes come. Wahoo!
