Numbers.

Here are some numbers I've been thinking about lately:

4: The number of days my husband has been with me since being separated for over three months! YAY!! :)
24: The number of weeks I have been pregnant. Also the HUGE milestone where babies' chances of survival outside the womb increase incredibly!
35: The next milestone I have my eyes set on. This is the number of weeks that, if the babies are born, they will need little to no NICU time.
3: The number of months left til we will for sure have these babies!
13: The number of pounds I've gained since being pregnant! Pretty good, ay??
42: The number of inches my belly measures around.
1.5: Our babies' weight (in lbs) right about now.
132: The number (on average) I feel our babies kick per day. They are little soccer players!
0: The number of seconds I spend NOT thinking about our two little girls!

Pregnant Belly.

Kurt and I started taking pictures of me at 10 weeks so we could see the growth of my belly :) I just finished my twentieth week and man have I grown! These babies are growing so rapidly, I can't even believe it! They are even on the heavier end in each ultrasound for their gestational ages.

Sometimes I still can't believe that I have two precious human beings inside this big belly of mine! It is such a neat experience to feel them move and kick. It's also such a blessing to see them so often at my 2 week visits. I love watching them move and interact on the ultrasounds :) They'll definitely be two very active little girls! The doctors told me I'd better sign them up for gymnastics!

Here are pictures of me during the past ten weeks! (Sorry if some of the descriptions are TMI, I just wanted to document everything!)












I'm past the halfway mark of a normal 40 week pregnancy, although I know mine will be shorter than that. But it's really awesome to think that these baby girls are almost here! They are about 14 ounces each and will probably reach a pound sometime this week. It seems like my belly grows overnight! I love looking back at these photos and just seeing how well they're doing. These babies are changing me in every way possible, and preparing me to be a mother - for that I'm so grateful. :)
