Belly Update


33 Weeks!
I'm on the countdown! My Doctor said that 37 weeks is considered full term for twins. That means that hopefully I only have four weeks left. The end of pregnancy is always the longest, most miserable part, and I wouldn't mind shaving a few weeks off.
A few days ago, the boys were talking about the babies. Kaleb asked me how I was going to feed both of them when daddy wasn't home. I am planning to breastfeed, but the boys assumed that I would be using bottles. I guess they don't remember. Jaron quickly volunteered to feed one of the babies when daddy is gone. I tried to explain to them that I would be feeding both of the babies without bottles. In the past we've talked about different farm animals that make milk for their babies. I reminded them of that, and told them that mommy does the same thing. One of the boys said, "you mean you make milk in your stomach?' After that I gave up and told them that after the babies are born, we can talk about it again. I still haven't figured out the best way to answer all of my kids questions. They definately think things through differently than I do.

I know you get tired of people asking how your feeling and trying to think of a new spin to put on "very pregnant" so here are the words "very pregnant" in French, Danish, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. très enceinte, meget gravid, sehr schwanger, molto incinta, bardzo ciąży, muy embarazada...just say one of these words with a smile on your face.

Muito gravida- that's Portuguese, just to add to Jessica's list!

Kids are so funny. It seems that sometimes the simple answers satisfy them, and then sometimes they want all the details. Thanks for the pic. It has been awhile.
