A New Mile Marker

Everyone knows about the preggo panel pants and in my eagerness to grow I couldn't resist buying a pair on sale a few months ago. And after trying them on week after week and being disappointed that they didn't quite fit yet I forgot about them until this morning....

And you guessed it they finally fit at 26 weeks!! (Although when I was at the OB last week and they "tape measured" my belly I'm actually measuring at 32 weeks; not surprising since there are 2 buns in the oven.)

And I have to say as excited as I thought I was to wear these, I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan. If I had the expertise I'd re-sew them to my liking. At least I have a few normal pairs of jeans that still fit and I won't be wearing these "panel pants" for too much longer!

On the positive side the big belly makes my legs look really skinny! Which is a feat in itself. Once that belly goes away and I gain back all the muscle I've lost when I start running again those skinny legs will be a thing of the past and I'll be sad to see them go.

Big Changes on the Horizon

So it's been 3 looong months since I've posted anything so hopefully after this post you'll have a better understanding why. There have been 2 major events in my time away.

The first being my sister, Jen's wedding on Friday, August 13 (yes, they purposely picked that day and I'm happy to say it went off without a hitch.) I can't say I'd be so brave to plan any big events on a Friday the 13th but this was a lesson for me to not be so superstitious! I was hoping to have some more/better pictures by now but I don't so you'll have to bear with the ones I have. (And the good ones I do have I stole from Jen's SIL.) I didn't get to take any pictures myself since I had a big role that day as Matron of Honor! Jen was a DIY bride and I'm really disappointed I won't get to share all those details due to the lack of pictures. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to get my hands on some other pictures to share.

And the second MAJOR event is I'm pregnant with TWINS!!! So for the past 6 months I've just been incubating these two:

And growing:

13 weeks 5 days


18 weeks, 5 days(L) 20 weeks (R)


21 weeks, 3 days

13 weeks, 5 days (L) 24 weeks, 2 days (R)

I think it's so funny I was sooo proud of my "bump" at 13 weeks and now I look at that picture and I just laugh!
