I’m huge. Literally. 29 weeks pregnant with twins and shockingly large. How does a body go through such a tremendous transition and so insanely fast? I can barely look in the mirror because it hurts to see how swollen my body has become and how unrecognizable my feet are. I feel like I’m going stark raving mad day by day. The heat doesn’t help. This summer has been ridiculous. Moving with any sort of grace in this humidity is nothing short of a miracle. I bump into everything and knock over anything in my path. Basically, I’ve timed a twin pregnancy brilliantly . . . smack dab in the middle of the hottest summer on record. Genius.
Yes, I’m frustrated and very much over this pregnancy. I truly believe anyone would be in my situation. However, I’m humbled. Truly humbled by the miracle I’m experiencing on a daily basis. Hot or not, I love feeling them move. I hang on all the wonderful ultrasound pictures just trying to use my imagination to piece together their precious faces. I love them. I would carry them forever if I had to. I guess this is how you know you love your children unconditionally right from the start.
I’m having a hot summer and I wish I had my waist back, but I’m blessed. So keep the kicking up twins and turn the volume up heat. I’ll take it with a smile and silently countdown the days until I feel relief. Relief from the summer sun, the ache in my back, and the anxiety I feel about my tiny miracles and their health.
I’ve got several more weeks left (hopefully if everything stays on track), and I’m stuck in the middle of wanting it to end so I can be put out of my misery and holding onto the magic of pregnancy. Summer sun, bring it. I’m going to keep wearing my gigantic maternity pants and suck down all the lemonade I can find. I’m huge, I’m hot, but I’m very humbled.

Great seeing you and your adorable belly at the Farmer's Market on Saturday! You look terrific! Keep enjoying those kicks; your babies will be here before you know it!
You look amazing – not huge at all! Stay cool and take care of yourself.
My hot summer being pg with twins was 5 years ago!! My sweet boys turn 5 this Sunday the 15th! I can not believe it, it seems like they were just born, so as hot as you are try to enjoy the last weeks of your pregnancy, because they grow up way too fast. Praying that they stay put for a few more weeks, so that they will be big and healty when they are born. My boys were born at 35 weeks, I had to be induced due to pre-eclampsia, and they were 4.9 and 5.9 pds, so pretty good size for twins!!
You amazing women you. . .you turn lemons into lemonade and keep on keeping on!
