Sunday Evening Gut

The size of this gut on me is getting, well...comical.

I'm carrying very high and straight out. I swear, every time Trevor and I see myself naked (This means when I'm getting in and out of the bath ONLY at this point...sickos.) we literally start laughing. The belly is HUGE and my doctor reminds me, we're still 2.5 months away.

My stretch marks are getting stretch marks. My back kills. I'm measuring bigger than I did with Treyson at 39 weeks. OH, and did I mention I'm only 26 weeks pregnant? But, hey, it's all good. We can't wait to see these little girls. Trevor told me the other day that he hopes they are not identical, because then they could be identically ugly. WHO SAYS THAT ABOUT THEIR OWN CHILDREN? ;) Funny man that Trevor.

To all those who complain about the aches and pains of being pregnant with one child, like I did, be careful....or Heavenly Father might bless you by making your gut a human incubator of two small children. (I feel the need to add, it is difficult being pregnant with one. No doubt.)

Living Proof (notice convenient head cropping.....you would really thank me). Thanks to all those who convinced me it's important to document this "experience":
Why do all maternity jeans give you saggy butt? I look like I pooped myself in 98% of them.

Oh, and I tried to be a good mom and take a few pictures of Treyson. He was mad I interrupted the football game (Not kidding. he's obsessed) and just ran away. After throwing his hat at me. Yes, he wears this hat all over.

All I see is how skinny your arms are. You are amazing! Can't wait to see what these girls look like. I love the awkwardness of a pregnant belly, like when you turn corners and hit things. Go eat at your favorite restaurants with booths now! haha. I say that because when I was very pregnant with Nolan and being seated somewhere the host was like, "Um, are you going to be able to sit behind there?" haha

Not amazing. Didn't have much a say in the matter! :)

You are sooo funny. You say it just like it is! Hilarious! I am gonna come meet you in January. I told Taryn. One weekend, I'm coming to see you. It's a MUST now! I hope I can handle it, sounds like you will have me laughing the whole time!
Now, I'm gonna be real. wow, I really didn't think it was possible to be bigger than I was, but I think you just might have done that! Those girls must be talllllll, just like their parents! (from what you say) That has to be the reason for them stretching you so big! The only thing I have you beat on, is when I was 26 weeks, I was wayyyyy bigger in the butt, and in my back.

yes, yes, NEVER complain about a single pregnancy people! You just don't know how good you have it!

Lots of love to you! I promise, you're not nearly as ugly as you see yourself in the mirror. I remember thinking I was hideous. You really are still sooo cute!

ps. did you buy yourself an expensive pair of maternity jeans yet!?!

Yes that belly is growing, but you have to be happy about the fact that nothing else on your body has...that is not fair!!!

Teryn said...

1 beautiful momma, 2 healthy looking babies, and 1 adorable little boy! Glad you are "documenting".. you will be back to your old self in no time, but for now, you look AMAZING caring those two precious angels!!And I'm so sorry you're so uncomfortable and have the knowledge you're going to get MORE uncomfortable! That is why you deserve all the headbands,outfits, and shoes I can make for those precious little babies!! Hugs to you!

I love his little hat and I love that look. That is a "classic" Treyson look. And you look tiny except for that bulge in your gut. Can't WAIT to see Treyson....uh, I mean you! XOXO

Oh and I LOVE the "booth" story. Hilarious.

Kali said...

Don't hate me but your belly is A-mazing!! Yes, when I am pregnant with one, I will praise the lord that I am not pregnant with twins:) And when I forget and you hear me complain you can remind me. I am sure you will anyway. haha. Maybe you have a third in there with the mysteriously disappearing penis...

Karissa Kay said...

Yeah your arms and legs are so tiny and your belly looks cute. Painful, but cute. I think it's impossible for you to have ugly children, so don't worry.

Steph said...

you look beautiful (cropped face and all) and more than anything, I'm happy those baby girls are healthy and growing!

Julie said...

Brittany said...

You look great! That weight is ALL baby. Love it!

Tara said...

Use the belly band from motherhood maternity to hold up your pants. I've always had saggy pants until then!
