If our babies look half as cute as their Daddy, I will be obsessed. Can you blame me?

So…yeah….it’s been a while since my last one. Are you as shocked as I am?! Ten weeks in a twin pregnancy is a lot of time, and a LOT of growth, yikes. It takes a bit of courage to share this photo, I’ll be honest, but I feel it’s important to share the reality of it all. Extreme fatigue, lessened mobility, crazy heartburn, immense back & nerve pain, scary swelling…these symptoms are all part of my daily life now (and I left some out on purpose). Many people don’t talk about the difficulties of pregnancy, but I’m here to say that this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done to date. Some days I want to scream when I hear “it’s all worth it”. Is that true? YES, no doubt. But do I want to hear it right now? NO, not really. Pardon my venting…I’ll shut my mouth and shuffle away from the computer. I’m way past waddling.

**on a cheerier note, the babies are doing fabulously and we can’t wait to meet them**

During a casual visit to my parents house this weekend, this happened. Sitting on the sofa between my parents, the babies were kicking and I invited them both to feel. It was the first time my Dad felt the life growing inside his own daughter. The look on his face was so loving, and in an instant I realized that these are the moments in life that stay with us always. They gave me life, and now my body is growing life…it is hard to express. I cannot convey how excited I am to meet our children, and share the experience, the miracle, with them…it will be a moment beyond photography and words.
