I have been contemplating putting up these photos, for many reasons really, but the most being the judgement or comments that I am subjecting myself to. However, suddenly I realized something. It doesn't matter, I have two healthy babies growing inside of me. Nothing beyond that miracle staying on track matters. I know the typical responses are either "you aren't that big for twins" or "do you have any more room for them" neither of which I want to go into my emotions upon. Rather I say this for all of us women that begin the sacrafices of motherhood in this same exact stage.

WE have NO control. So grow those bellies and let God work his magic no matter the size you end at, it's just the beginning of a mother's sacrafice.

So enjoy the photos of the mini's growing, today they weigh over 3 lbs each!!! So yes, 29 weeks now and I have almost 7 lbs of baby in me, yippee!

13 weeks...

17 weeks...

21 weeks...(easter weekend)

23 weeks...

...clearly we still laugh, possibly at knowing how little of sleep we are going to get soon!!!
(all these last 6 photos are from the same weekend...
27 weeks)

27 weeks...

(6 pounds of baby in that "bump") :-)

Here is the final 27 week photo.

We are VERY happy parents, which may be because we are very naive to what awaits us. Either way we say "bring it on kids, bring it on!"

Enjoy and feel free to share any of your baby bump photos too!

tata for now,

28 weeks and counting...

It's been a while, but I wanted to give a quick update. We have hit our 28 week mark today! Mini A and Mini B are active, never a dull moment in this growing tummy! We still cannot decide if they are fighting already or just playing, only time will tell.

We really couldn't ask for a better pregnancy. These babies are growing, usually about one week ahead of schedule. Good work minis, go overachieve - we LOVE that (for now)!

I plan to update you on adventures we've taken the mini's on - like our "family date" to the Drive-In movies. But for now just smile knowing we have made it past my stress point...and it looks good to make it well into the complete uncomfortable zone of full-term for twins!

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers, they are working so keep them coming.

annie (and mini's)
