please tell me it's all belly

To all those who are sick of seeing my henna tummy on facebook and would like to see me from the side, here it is. I'm 41 inches around and protruding farther than I ever imagined possible. Looking at this picture right now, it doesn't even look real. I remember thinking back at halloween while trick or treating, "how can I get bigger than this?" Well folks, I'm definitely bigger. Tomorrow I will be 33 weeks pregnant. I'll tell you a month ago I was praying that I'd make it this far and that our little babies lungs would have more time to develop. Here I am with one week to go before the doctors won't try and stop labor! It's amazing. I can't believe it. As ready as I am to have my body back (I never really felt the reality of that statement until now and only because I'm really tired of being kicked all day) I'm also a little terrified of what 2 more babies is gonna do to our lives. Joel is back working 5a-12:30p in Salt Lake and going to school Mondays-Thursdays some nights till 7p. He's still doing my little odds and ends jobs around the new place (pictures still to come) and finds time to play with the boys, make pancakes on Sundays and make dinner most nights. What an amazing man! The boys are great and bigger than ever and becoming very independent, but I worry what new babies will do to their worlds. Either way, we all feel very blessed to have each other and look forward to the addition of these cute little angels.

Ps. Scarlett has got the cutest lips I've ever seen in an ultrasound. Isaac was a little too squished to show off any mentionable features. All I can say about him is he's definitely a "he".

Don't worry, you're definitely all baby. I can only wish to look as good as you and I'm only carrying one!

You are adorable, totally tiny every where but in the belly! I love it. I am already wondering how I can continue to grow for 3 more months.

You are definitely all baby! You are too hard on yourself! I am sure you break a lot of hearts everyday! I bet guys check you out from behind and say DAAANNG! And then you turn around and they realize you are pregnant and married and totally unavailable! I seriously would have no idea you were pregnant, let alone with twins if I saw you from behind!

All baby, and totally gorgeous! I can't wait to meet them. Good luck with everything-we'll be thinking about you.

I wish I was like you and only gained it in the belly. I still have 4 more months and my arms are filling out and I'm getting big everywhere, not just my belly. You look soo good. I can't believe you only have a week until you could have these babies. Good luck and we wish you the best. Hope everything runs smoothly.
