25 Weeks Twin Pregnancy Belly

25 weeks with my two boys

I was 25 weeks in this photo. I'm currently at 29 weeks and on modified bed rest for now after being rear ended by a log truck.... I had some spotting and contractions at 28 weeks (prior to the wreck) and was on my way to the Dr. for further instructions when I was hit. The babies were not fased at all by this- thank God. This pregnancy is SO much different from my first pregnancy... that's right I have a 2 1/2 year old boy too. That's the worst part of this bed rest thing... I can't pick him up so he can't stay here with me much because daddy is in Iraq so there isn't anyone here all the time... Aside from all that, I've had a really great pregnancy.... a lot less tired than my first and not too many additional stretch marks, and most recently I've gained this great curly hair... my hair has always been straight until the past few weeks and I guess my two boys stay up some nights and curl it-love it. I've been able to control my weight a lot better this time... I gained over 45 pounds with my first son which my midwife warned was too much for one baby.... now at 29 weeks I've gained 12 pounds and I'm sure that is one reason I don't feel so tired. I just pray everyday that my body can wait for at least 37 weeks to deliver.
