I remember last year at this time vividly. I remember being uncomfortable and thinking how could my stomach possibly get any bigger. I remember the countless trips to the bathroom. I remember feeling exhausted after chasing Grace around and thinking how much more can my body possibly take. I remember trips to the park with Grace and people would look at me and say "Please tell me you have more than 1 baby in your stomach." I remember how getting up and down from the couch or bed was not an easy task. I remember how I loss hearing in my one ear towards the end of the pregnancy and wondering if it would ever come back after the twins were born. (By the way it did come back but it took some time). I remember how the dogs would always curl right up on my big belly. I remember rocking Grace at night and she would wiggle around trying to find room on my lap. I remember the night before I went into labor Mike was working late and Grace was resisiting going to bed. I put her in our bed and she snuggled up with me and was being such a sweetheart. It was almost like she knew that this was our chance to have some last minute alone time. Most of all I remember the feelings of complete excitement and fear!
I can't believe I'm even going to post these pictures. Words can't even describe my belly...These were taken at Grace's 2nd Birthday party and the twins were born 2 days later. I was 36 weeks pregnant.
Side view....
Wow!!
Two days after Grace's 2nd birthday this was us (minus Grace)..so happy to be holding our two healthy babies. Let the fun begin :-)
Looking back at this year I can't believe how far we have come. It's been a crazy year but we have officially made it through year 1 of having twins!! I'm so thankful for our three healthy children and for my amazing husband who is the best Dad ever. We couldn't have made it through the year without the support of our amazing family (especially Nana).
