If I Had a Rememberance Book....



This post came about due to recently remembering my belly during the twins' pregnancy. I have an acquaintance who delivered triplets last year.......so I was just reflecting on my own pregnancy with multiples.

I can tell you that I was NOT active at all, and Es and Sam got away with more due to that fact! Enjoy the photos, the twins were about 38 weeks gestation here. (I took a picture of a picture, our scanner isn't working. And I couldn't figure out how to rotate the last one!)......I hope they're not too freaky!

Katy-

I am hurting just looking at you. God has many blessing for you for just carrying twins. I could not do it!! Love you all, H

wow is the first thing that came into my head - didn't they total 16ish pounds? Do you know how many weeks gestation you measured?

Glad you shared!

Zach was 7# 7oz. and Joe was 8# 3oz.....so 15# 10oz. total baby weight. I never asked how may weeks 'normal' gestation I was. Ben and I did measure my belly periodicaly though. I think the last time it measured 56 inches around. I have the for-sure measurement down stairs and don't want trug down to get it:)

Yes, you were HUGE! Remember you could hardly do much of anything toward the end, much less get up! Great pix! Zach and Joey should love them! Thanks for the fun time today! Love you, Mom : )

Wow Katy! What amazing pictures. The female body is an incredible thing...as I'm finding out each day :)

Thank you so much for all your comments on our blog, especially when you said we will be great parents. That is a not-so-dormant fear and it was so comforting to hear such a wonderful mother say something otherwise.

I cannot believe you homeschool all your kids! Your ability to stay patient and sane is far beyond any I can even imagine.

You're a sweet heart Ashley. I speak the truth.....you are doing great and you will continue!

So, I think we were probably pretty close to the same. But you are probably taller than me. (I'm only 5'2". I think my total baby weight was about 13 lbs. I didn't go full term of course, I went to 32 weeks on the dot. With triplets you don't go much further than that. 39.5 weeks with twins is remarkable, but I imagine even more painful. I was in constant pain at the end...

I wasn't sleeping well at all so I bugged my Doc to induce. I can't imagine THREE!!!! Talk about an active pregnancy! Kristi my hero!

You had such a beautiful pregnant tummy! No suprise, you're an incredible woman and everything about you is beautiful.
AND... I'm glad you don't have to go through that again!
Love you Babe.
