26 Weeks

Matt was out of town this week so my mom came for a few days to babysit me while he was gone.  I always get a little nervous when he leaves because two times he has been gone for business and bad things have happened.  This trip was a success and my pregnancy has been status quo.  This week marks 26 weeks and I am creeping closer to my goal of 28 weeks.  I can't believe I am actually saying this but this pregnancy seems to be flying by! If I make it to my due date we have just under 12 weeks to go.  My mom and I were talking about how far I am going to make it and she thinks June 30th is going to be the magical day and I feel more like July 2nd.  Anyone want to make a guess???  

Nothing really big happened this week.  I'm getting lazier so my pictures are getting uglier and reflect the day to day "look" of a 26 week pregnant lady with twins!  I know it doesn't look like much but each week I feel just a bit bigger and a bit more uncomfortable.  I do however still feel ok and totally not miserable.  Here are some pictures from this week.  Matt snapped some pictures of me doing some Cat like stretches to make room for those babies.... Let me tell you what.  

 

 And if you've never seen a baby bump close up here one is... Growing like a weed!
