Call me crazy, but now that I think I've dropped, I'm a little wistful that I never got kicked in the ribs and I don't think it will happen now.
Call me crazy, but I'm afraid my belly button isn't going to pop and that makes me sad.
Call me crazy, but some days I'd be okay with one baby born vaginally and one via C-section- just so I get to experience both ways.
This will be my only pregnancy and although some days I'm barely hanging by a thread by the end (or even in the morning when I get up- who am I kidding), I am sad to see it end. Every day I soak in the feeling of limbs moving inside my uterus, thinking that every day could be the last time to feel that. I want every pregnancy experience. I know far too soon these days will be a foggy memory.
It still seems unreal to me that very soon two babies will be coming home with us. The thought crosses my mind every once in a while that maybe they are wrong and there's only one in there. (Irrational, I know). It still seems so hard to believe we are having twins at times that I actually pinched myself last night, just to reassure myself that I was truly not just dreaming. Some days I just can't believe that is is and will be my life.
I am so fortunate. I am so blessed.

This time is so precious. For those of us that enjoy/enjoyed pregnancy, it goes too quickly. I wasn't ready for it to be over and I still miss most things about being pregnant. The belly, the movement, the clothes, the attention (although weird for me), and mostly I miss it being just him and me.
I remember checking in a few weeks after I delivered and learned that you'd conceived the month Nugget was born. While continuing to read your blog and reflecting back on that time, I imagine it's gone just as fast for you as it has for me.
Have I told you that I am SO excited for you? I am. A boy and girl and a healthy pregnancy? You are blessed! But, you aren't crazy.
I dropped really early too but just because you have dropped doesn't mean they will make their appearance quite yet. :)
I am glad you are enjoying your pregnancy. I really feel like that disbelief ever disappears.
I know how you feel! You are just getting so close...what an exciting time! I am so with you on trying to experience all things pregnant...I even want to find a maternity swimsuit on sale so I can experience swimming while preggo!! Silly...but I want to do it! (Will I feel lighter? Will my feet not be so swollen? Will I even be able to swim at all with my lack of lung space?!) :o) Of course it'll be an indoor pool though!! :o)
Enjoy these last few weeks!!! You've done a lot to get here...and the journey is just about to begin!!!
Oh wow, you are getting close!!!!
Isn't it amazing what our bodies can do? I was just thinking this morning that it won't be long now. And you being 3 weeks ahead of me, being so strong and such a trooper through it all. I would love to have my babies vaginally, but unfortunately with my previous surgery I risk rupture and lots of bleeding, so I won't chance it.
I can't tell you enough how proud I am of you and all you have gone through. You are a beautiful woman, and already an amazing mother. Your baby boy and girl are incredibly lucky.
Your days are numbered Mama!=)
Didn't your old student tell you "February"?
So excited to see your little ones!
It's so surreal to go from thinking that you may never conceive, to carrying and planning for the arrival of TWO babies.
:)
What a great post!
oh im so glad you are enjoying this experience!! i really do miss those amazing feelings of LIFE inside...its truly a miracle.
;-)
YOU LOOK GREAT MAMA!
