Congrats on a great NT s...The pictures are amazing!<br />Congrats on a great NT scan.<br />And I'm with you on not loving the body changes. I'm 25 weeks now and it has gotten easier for me as I've started to look pregnant instead of just fat, but I really don't feel attractive pregnant, and that surprised me because I thought I would love every single thing about being pregnant. Sigh.<br />Thanks for your honesty.<br />And I have been craving grapefruit juice 24/7...keep wondering what that means...Kristenhttp://www.buckupbuttercup.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843113890461160416.post-70835613143118890272011-12-27T20:26:46.989-06:002011-12-27T20:26:46.989-06:00So happy for you that the twins "passed"...So happy for you that the twins "passed" their NT scan! That brings a great feeling of relief, I remember. And it's so amazing to see them on ultrasounds. I love the shot of both of them together. Like you, I hated the way I looked pregnant, and I just shot down almost every request from a distant friend for a picture of me. I didn't feel cute, just fat. I hope you and Tidy had the merriest Christmas!Whipped Cream & Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883933303142774141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843113890461160416.post-60036840519204611172011-12-25T09:17:55.347-06:002011-12-25T09:17:55.347-06:00BTW, I crave oranges too....I am peeling a fruit, ...BTW, I crave oranges too....I am peeling a fruit, any time of the day, and sometimes at midnight too!<br /><br />The babies look beautiful.

I am still over the moon excited for you! I totally understand not loving the early "pooch" belly. I just felt like I had a beer gut or something for the longest time. Clothes didn't fit and I just felt so unattractive. I begged for a big round belly so I actually looked pregnant and not fat! ha ha! And then of course I got it and it got HUGE! Also, I never could believe the babies on the ultrasound screen were in my tummy. I felt like they were bringing in that video from some other place...surely it wasn't inside ME! Once you start feeling little kicks it becomes more real, but I don't think I ever fully believed I was having these babies until they were here. Take it all in, my friend. It's an amazing journey!Infertile Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306866429216088810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843113890461160416.post-3834555727408825212011-12-24T05:30:16.209-06:002011-12-24T05:30:16.209-06:00I'm not on much right now since we're taki...I'm not on much right now since we're taking a break.

I totally felt the mental incongruity of REALLY wanting to be pregnant....but then not feeling so good about my body actually BEING pregnant the first couple months. I assure you that this will all change once you have the belly. You will LOVE the belly. You will hug it and rub it and look at it ALL the time. Of course, in later pregnancy you will also hate being uncomfortable and will occassionally catch yourself looking at non-pregnant women and thinking...man, it will be nice to have a flat tummy again...but not ONCE wanting to trade them for their non-pregnant stance. The KEY to not getting lost is to keep exercising...at least for me that has been the key. As I have gotten bigger and the scale has gone higher (and higher), I still feel strong and fit and ME because I keep exercising. I'm not running anymore and sometimes I can barely eek (sp?) out an elliptical workout...but I'm sweating and I'm trying. Merry Christmas and big kisses to all FOUR of you!RunningMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269598643448280554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843113890461160416.post-64819342008050385452011-12-23T16:42:37.239-06:002011-12-23T16:42:37.239-06:00Love your pictures - especially the one of both of...Love your pictures - especially the one of both of them! The netti pot story is kinda scary though - my hubby says they must have used well water. I definitely agree on the whole body image thing, especially the boob issue - mine are killing me! Every time I start complaining, I think back to all we had to go through - I am so very gratful to be pregnant but it is not the world's easiest job!Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248213208248129767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843113890461160416.post-70293856612271250122011-12-23T16:01:09.423-06:002011-12-23T16:01:09.423-06:00So happy everything looked great :)

I still think you look great though :).

Even at 30+ weeks pregnant I could not comprehend that there really was a baby inside me. I could feel him kick, hear his heartbeat, and watch him on the ultrasound, but it never seemed real until he was actually born.
