36 Week Update

36 weeks

I measured 46 weeks pregnant yesterday!!  WOW!  So much for all the people who keep saying how small I look.  The ultrasound tech kept saying, "Bless your heart.  And I really mean that.  You are absolutely stuffed with babies!"

Here is one more shot from yesterday.

And today.

Funny the difference angle makes.  Elijah took the picture today and I think it doesn't show a good comparison to the last one, because of the difference in the way he does it from the way Daniel does it.  But it IS bigger! 

I'm definitely starting to have a hard time waiting because of all the discomfort and the lack of sleep and difficulty just sort of moving around.  I feel like I can't go on and yet I know that I just will. 

And I'm getting so excited to meet them and to hold and nurse them, that makes it hard to wait, too!

And because I always like to see a comparison close together, here's last weeks, too.

32 weeks

Yes, it's a terrible picture. They usually are because we take them at 9:30 or 10:00 and I'm wiped out.  But it's honest and that's worth something, right? Sleep is hard to come by and exhaustion is ever-present. So when I look back on this, at least it will be truthful to the state of being.

Front Shot

I realized we haven't done a front shot in a long time.  I find it slightly staggering to look it at like this.  But I'm glad I've documented the belly this pregnancy.  I've never done this before and I know I'll like looking back on it.

Wow!  Is it just me or did the belly get waaayyy bigger this week???

Jesse's Love

So I have to wear a ponytail most of the time, as I mentioned.  Jesse, who is very, very clingy and attached, spends a lot of time near this ponytail and he often plays with it.  One day, as he rubbed the ponytail against his cheek, over and over, he said with delight, "It love me, Mama.  See?  It love me!"  Several times since then he has done that same thing and told me the ponytail loves him.  He even rubbed it on his face once when he got hurt, for comfort.  I think it's very sweet.  It also explains why he wants to spend so much time cheek-to-cheek with me, sometimes gently rubbing.  Clearly, he associates touch against his cheek with love.
