Feeling thankful at 35 weeks

Instead of listing off all the ways I feel miserable and ready for this pregnancy to be done, I was lying in bed early one morning this week and listing off in my head all the things I have to be thankful for at this stage. I want to continue to remain positive so here the top 10 things I am thankful for at 35 weeks pregnant with twins (in no particular order):

1) I don't have any rib or hip pain
2) I honestly thought I would be way bigger by now, but I'm not and that fact enables me to remain pretty mobile and active.
3) I can still get down on the floor and play with my girls
4) No stretch marks (apparently I have genetics or my homemade body butter to thank for that, maybe a combination of both?)
5) I can still roll over pretty easily in bed
6) I have not had any big pregnancy scares like bleeding, real preterm labor, or terrible illness
7) I can still hold my girls and they love to use my belly as a pillow:-)
8) My husband still calls me beautiful
9) My swollen feet don't really cause any discomfort and my shoes still fit
10) Both babies continue to get great reports at each appointment

36 weeks, which is our goal, is just around the corner. Can't wait to be there and know that the chance of babies needing NICU time by that point is pretty slim. I leave you with a few pictures we took today on our wonderfully lazy Sunday.

 I finally got one decent picture of Shaun and I with the belly before church today

Yikes! Cankles!

  1. Maybe the babies are whispering something to Addie. "Hi, Big Sister! Can't wait to meet you!" :)
