Twin Belly Shot: 34 weeks

Notice how my shirt has this fancy built in feature that keeps me from getting overheated.

State of the art, I tell ya.

Nothing but the best.

Yes, I chopped my head off.

Being on bedrest doesn’t translate into a lot of desire or motivation to actually look somewhat decent. So, basically, I looked like hell. Bad enough that I wasn’t about to post it on the world wide web.

Vanity, thy name is Jeannett.

I measured myself around…48 inches.

INCHES, people, INCHES!!!

That’s four FEET.

So basically, I’m almost as wide around as I am tall.

Fabulous.

I dare anyone to say that I don’t look like I’m carrying twins.

In fact, I would advise that even if you *DO* think it, that you keep it to yourself for fear that I just might claw your eyes out.

Thanks.

Glad we had this talk.

Here’s a bare belly shot.

Stretch marks and all.

Yup, they showed up. A few weeks ago. I totally thought I was in the clear.

I blame it all on Lindsey.

She pointed them out to me…small ones…and ever since she blew their covert operation, they’ve come out full force.

Funny that I’ll chop my head off, but post my stretch mark laden belly…interesting. I wonder why it’s different? I guess because I figure that they aren’t going away, so I might as well embrace it.

Besides, wasn’t there discussion a while back about us women embracing our bodies regardless of the changes???

Yeah, that was it.

Say it with me:

Two more weeks…two more weeks…

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    those aren't Andy's shorts are they? Why are "husband pants" so comfy? I'm wearing Phillip's right now and Isaac is almost 2 months old …

    duuuuude, i don't want to share the inches that measure around my belly! I could quite give you some competition without any BOB's (babies on board). I'm amazed that you have made it this far, i thought term for twins was earlier.

    you should take a picture while on you knees and holding Henry's wheel barrel! you'll be able to laugh about it later.
