I am at 30 weeks (HUGE MILESTONE!!)
This is a side-view of my quickly-expanding gut. Classy, huh.It moves around so much, I am surprised that I didn't have to use the anti-blur setting on the camera!
Right now, our little beauties are weighing in around 3# a piece and I feel every OUNCE of it :) They are mostly awake at night, which was nice while it was still too light to wake me up. Now, I just look at it as practicing up for my new sleep schedule.
Nearing the end of this pregnancy, I can honestly say that I never expected many of the things that have come with carrying multiples. I have been over a normal "full-term" size for a couple of months now, which comes with all of the extra aches and stretches that most women only feel during the last couple weeks of pregnancy. I often describe the feeling to others as if all of the ligaments in my pelvis are being ripped apart with any movement of my legs. I stretch a little more every day--it gets a little bit harder to breathe every day. Knowing that our babies will be here soon makes everything worth dealing with. They mean more to us than we even know! Our pregnancy has been so perfect health-wise, we know that God has much, much in store for our little family. Please pray for us all through the next couple of weeks. Our delivery date will be February 12th, which would make them 34 week babies. This will give them much shorter NICU stays and a bit of a bigger birth weight. We are SO READY--today Levi made the comment that "every day that we have to wait for them feels like a whole year". I agree!
Baby A sucking his thumb <3
Baby B waving hello to her mommy and daddy <3
Baby C rubbing her eyes <3

That was quick!
Nursery SO far. Lots more to do!!
