The Final Bump

It's kind of hard to believe...and very bittersweet! These, my friends, will be my last baby bump photos before we welcome our little miracles into the world on Monday! I never thought that I would see this day, and I thank God everyday for allowing us the opportunity to become the parents we have yearned to be for so long.

I'm still couch ridden and it is getting a little worse each day. I can only get up for a few minutes at a time before my leg starts begging to be amputated. After looking at tonight's photos I think I see why! My belly (aka Pow's head) is drooping down to the left side. I would imagine that the pressure from that is pinching the nerve and cutting off my circulation. My nesting instinct is in overdrive, but unfortunately I have to ask Andy to do everything while I watch. Oh well...it is what it is! My doctor almost let me have them tomorrow, but then we decided we would just stay with Monday...that would be in the best interests of the boys. I can survive another four days to give them a healthy start. I can't believe I will have gone almost 38 weeks with twins...I mean, really?

On the other hand, I could burst at any minute. So, we shall see! My 33rd Birthday is tomorrow and that would be the ULTIMATE present!

Total weight gain this pregnancy has been....drumroll please...51 pounds! I'm a little on the low side considering they told me I should put on about 60 pounds. I think that constantly watching my diet because of the diabetes has played a factor. Not to mention the fact that my appetite is not very good right now because I'm out of room! Oh well...they look good and that's all that matters. 

We are set for our C-sec 7:15 am on Monday morning...please pray for a healthy delivery! Our world is about to be rocked...and we cannot wait! I will update as soon as possible!

those are so fun. I was put in the hospital before I was able to do the last bump pictures and I was sad. I swelled so bad before they come the last week, probably good it wasnt on camera. You will be so overwhelmed with joy when that day comes, twins arent easy I want lie but the love you get is just amazing.

Miss Mac said...

Thinking of you, best of luck tomorrow and can't wait for the next update! Let the adventures begin:]

I have been following your blog since about the middle of your pregnancy. Praying for you right now for you and your little boys (and your big boy too!) as this new chapter in life starts.

Rebecca said...

I hope that you have a safe delivery today.

So excited for you and wish you all the best as you meet your little fellas. I can't wait to see pics of them. I only have three to go before I meet my own little guy. It's been neat to be on the journey together, although you definitely had a way of getting all the problems of the few percent. You seem like you've handled it with such grace and humor. Congratulations, tears of joy for you!
