TWO MORE WEEKS!!  I honestly cannot believe I’ve made it this far.  I really thought these babies would come early and as the days and dr. appointments go by that confirm they’re happy as can be where they are, the more and more I think I’ll end up carrying them to term.  Don’t get me wrong, I am so so grateful that they’re still growing and developing.  I’ve had an extremely healthy pregnancy and I feel very blessed.  BUT MAN.  This is absolutely the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.  36 weeks, even 37 sure seems like a good compromise to me!  I don’t sleep, my heart races when I lay down to the point where I get full on nauseous,  I can’t eat anything without the worst heart burn ever, I probably shouldn’t be driving, Boston literally has to help me put on my shoes and the kids run away from me every chance they get because they know I can’t chase after them.  Also, you should see our house.  All the things I want to pick up and put away but physically just can’t.  I feel like I need to be in a nursing home, not responsible for myself and two other tiny humans!

My poor husband.  I’ve been making him do EVERYTHING.  And not just normal housework, make the meals, fold the laundry type everything.  I’ve been making him hang things and assemble furniture.  I think he’s more ready for this to all be over than I am!  Two more weeks though… I can totally handle this for two more weeks…

Ha!  You’re probably wondering how these pictures happened if I’m so miserable?!  Well… I’ll tell you the dirty truth.  I haven’t gotten ready since last weeks post and the only reason this one exists is because Brian hired a babysitter for our date this past weekend.  Having a baby sitter is a rare luxury we don’t often get so I thought I’d put forth some effort and doll myself up as best I could.  We went to the Cheesecake Factory and when the waitress asked if we’d like a booth I wasn’t 100% sure I’d fit.  BARELY you guys.  I barely fit and that pretty much made my night haha!  Alright, well I could just ramble your ear off for the next hour so I’ll let you go.  Make sure you’re following me on instagram @twistmepretty because who knows… maybe these boys will be willing to compromise at 37 weeks after all!  One can only hope!

  1. Ha! I went to the Cheesecake Factory when I was at the end of my last pregnancy and I literally could not fit in the booth they took me to! I wanted to cry and the server was completely unhelpful – she just stared at me like I should just suck it in or something! Makes for a good story now. My (single) baby was over 10 lbs. at birth and I was humongous.

  2. You are the best example ever of a mom carrying twins! I mean that with complete sincerity. I love how you keep your posts real, the job is tough, sometimes not pretty, but still you press forward and even put on heels for your hubby! What an amazing example. Thank you. (:

  3. I’m so excited for the twins to come! I remember when you announced your pregnancy and here you are almost at the due date! Crazy how fast time flies 🙂
