Twin belly at 32 Weeks!These are mostly for my mom (and myself I guess) - she doesn't get to see my belly everyday & feels like she's missing out.... Love you mom!
I texted Shane today and told him something very bad happened. He called me immediately and I told him that I think a mama bear attacked my stomach sometime last night. Or maybe it was a whole pack of them. haha - Don't be jealous not everyone can have stretchmarks as great as me! So these days I usually never get good rest. When I run into people the first thing they all seem to want to say is... "just enjoy your sleep now" as they laugh. But then I'm thinking...."wait, what sleep?!"At our Perinatology appt last week we learned that I am dialated and baby A's head is seriously low. The Dr. said she hasn't seen a head that low in quite awhile and couldn't believe how pleasantly comfortable she is all squished up directly into my bladder. I had to take my pants off so they could see just how low baby A really is. The Dr. swears I only have 2-3 weeks to go. Yep folks, I literally feel like I have baby between my legs. As for baby B, well she is putting pressure up on my diaphram making me breathless to get from one point to another. Especially when I use the stairs. I am completely out of breath only halfway up and need to stop for a break. It makes me feel like my parents fat dog, Roger, who also has to take stair breaks on his way up. No, but in all seriousness it's hard to complain when this is what I've wanted for sooooo long!!! I can't even explain my feelings about it. Some women I know have recently not been as lucky with their twins and my heart aches for their loss. While at the same time I'm choking with emotion over how blessed I am to have made it this far.

I think I was attacked by a couple bears too. haha!!! But thats what we get for carrying 2 babies! It will be well worth it! I wish I could say I only have about 2-3 weeks left! Also Im with ya on the sleep thing. UGH I cant tell you the last night I slept decent. It sucks so bad!
First off, Happy Anniversary! I remember being at your Provo reception and just thinking "Wow this girl is gorgeous." You still are, especially with your 'baby glow'. You and Shane are so much fun and I can't believe you only have a few weeks left! I know I've said it before but I am so excited for you both.
And attacked by a bear?! Ha that was classic
You look so great and beautiful! I wish I looked half as great as you right now.
I am so glad that they made it this long and hope that they hold on for a few more weeks for you!
You and Shane are so lucky and I'm so happy for you.
i hate to tell you this-- but you won't have a full night's sleep for..... ever again! i felt that same way when people told me that too! "um listen person, i'm too uncomfortable to sleep. in any position. but thanks." i'm so dang excited for you and shane to be parents. promise me we will get out kids together often. i love you!!! the stretchmarks will (slowly) fade!
Seriously, no sleeping when you are that pregnant anyway! You look so cute though. Good luck with everything!
Truly you look amazing! I can't believe you have twins in there...I swear thats what I look like with one. You are so beautiful! I miss you guys. Good luck with everything. We are going to be in Utah the second week in December so we would love to come by and see you and the new family. Let me know what you think..
Hi there! I came across your blog from Brit.
I've known Shane and his family for a VERY long time! I grew up with Brit and Carrie! Congrats on your little ones on the way! Girls are SO MUCH fun!!!! Good Luck!!
You're soooo close!!!
you are so funny! i think most women get attacked by our lovely friend stretchmarks! You still look great though! Your little girls are going to be here so soon! I can't wait to meet them. Hope all is well. Love you guys! Oh, and I completely know what you are saying about sleep...I haven't slept since I was about 7 months pregnant with Holly....so, about 2 years ago. Yeah, I am tired! :-) Oh, one more thing. I got this advice before I had Holly and I think it is great. You should write down in a journal everything you can about yourself right now. Write down what music you love, movies, shows, food, what you and Shane do for fun, your thoughts, anything you can think of. Time you went to bed, time you woke up, how you spent your free time. Then, someday you and your kids can look back and remember what you were like and what life was like before you were a Mom.
Thank for the pics Tru!! I LOVE your blog updates. Hello!
Dad can't understand why I HAVE to come up again over the Thanksgiving weekend. I told him I simply couldn't come up for the delivery (whether or not you guys decide if you want to be by yourselves...like I'm EVER going to get to see twins born again in my whole life, ever!) without seeing you one more time BEFORE you deliver. I can't get over the fact that there are TWO baby girls and I NEED to see your tummy one more time. Dad still doesn't get it, so I reminded him that's why he's the Dad and I'm the Mom!! I was feeling especially warm and fuzzy and bought him a ticket so he can come see your tummy too!
See you soon Bug-a-Boo.
Oh, and the bear attack...fabulous! You aren't going to believe this but the same thing happened to me AND Rachel.
Love, Mom
Those darn bear attacks.....they are our stipes of valor, and our marks of courage! So all you girls out there with perfect small wastes and tummies SCREW YOU!!!! ha ha I'm a mommy and love it...I'm marked for life. At least you don't fall down the last four steps of the stairs like poor Roger. Sweet boy is getting so old. I'm so happy you reached 32 weeks. Keep that baby between your legs a little longer! Love ya TONS!!!!!!

Attacked by a bear! I love that phrase! At least you're upbeat about it. I got stretch marks about one month before Parker was due and every week they got bigger. I kept thinking, "please come early baby!" but no, he came late instead. Little stinker. Okay, so I know you want to have your babies inside you as long as possible because it's to their benefit, but if it could be guaranteed that they could come out early and be perfect, then I would want you to have them while I'm in Utah! We leave today and we'll be there for two weeks. Seriously though, I hope they stay in there for as long as they need to. I'm just so excited for you! You're looking great by the way!
