One of my fears throughout my twin pregnancy was that I wouldn’t recognize the signs of labor when they came. Every mom that heard me say this laughed at me. “Oh, you’ll know!” Even the nurses I met in the hospital the week I was on bed rest reassured me. “Contractions will stop you in your tracks.”
Well, they were wrong.
I thought it would be fun to share a quick little collage of my twin baby bump progression. I didn’t take photos every single week, but fairly regularly throughout my pregnancy.
I didn’t take a ‘before’ photo, but week 13 is when I first felt my bump coming in… or so I thought. 😉 It’s kind of humorous looking at it now. Week 18 was my halfway mark. Week 22 my bump ‘popped’ and started to round out a little more. And week 28 was when someone finally noticed that I was pregnant! Although the comment went something like this “Whoa, I didn’t realize you were pregnant until you turned to the side… you’re one of those tricky pregnant women!” Haha!
One of my favorite parts of having people comment on my bump was when they asked me “Boy or Girl?” and I got to respond “Both”.Â
Our precious twins made their big debut last Sunday on May 17th, and we are just as smitten as smitten can be!
If you notice that my symptoms don’t quite line up with your timeline, don’t worry! Apparently, twin pregnancies track about 6 weeks ahead of singleton pregnancies with respect to symptoms and measurements. At least that’s what my doctor says!
We made it, y’all… The big 3-4… May 1st… The day they will no longer prevent labor has finally arrived!
I’ve been a little behind on these weekly updates, but I’m going to try to back track now and squeeze three four weeks worth into this post since a lot has happened lately. I’m ditching my questionnaire format and I’ll just try to explain everything the best I know how!

A few weeks back, we threw Cara and her twins a shower! It was adorably owl-themed:
Look Whoooo’s Having Two!
I say ‘we’, but really all I did was design the invitations and show up, the other hostesses did all the work. Those Kenwood ladies really know how to throw a shindig!
