It just hit me how I always seem to measure milestones for myself in units of time; "oh I'm twenty-SEVEN now, or I haven't had caffeine in 12 hours." I hit two pretty big milestones this past week. On October 12th, I hit the nine year milestone of my baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I cherish my membership in the church and I revel in all the good it has brought in my life. I know now more than I knew then that this is the true church. I know that this is church of Jesus Christ and I have marveled at how my love for the Savior and his principles has blossomed. I am forever grateful for those who introduced the church to me and truly demonstrated the love that is contained in the gospel. I know that the decision to join the church has made all the difference in my life. If you too would like to experience this change I implore you to read the Book of Mormon and pray about the teachings that it contains. I know you will receive a witness just as I have that it is the truth. I truly love this gospel and all that it has brought to me.
On to my next milestone, I am officially in my third trimester. Twenty-eight weeks Woot Woot! This is how I look.
I am pretty huge no? I feel pretty good. I get tired easily and sleeping is sometimes a joke, all in all I don't feel this big. It's pretty amazing to me how you adapt, I only really feel big when I'm out in public. Some memorable quotes are "Please Honey, tell me your almost through," and "So you deliver next week right?" Also there was some excited signing by a sweet deaf couple at Costco who were really surprised that I was in Costco and all I caught was "Two! you are beautiful." Why thank you, kind people I do feel like sideshow but also I'm pretty jazzed at how awesome this pregnancy is going. There has been no swelling, no contractions, and the babies have both moved to a position where I can feel their late night parties and day time kick-fests. Life is good.
Babycenter has graced us with another look into a twin mom's womb so this is what is going on right now.
K pretty much standard. When I look at this pic I think wow, it's amazing I don't pee more than I do cause that bladder is just sad right there. I do have some differences tho...so here is my 28 week womb picture
I couldn't add how my abs are seriously always rock hard. At first I thought that it was Braxton Hicks but the top of my stomach never relaxes. It's got to be strain of holding all the weight of the girls and well my guts in so I can function. This pregnancy is really a trip. Ok, the creative juices have run dry. Take care until next week.
