Slightly Updated Baby Photo - 3D is so cool...

I have been neglecting posting pictures of me lately because, well, I have crossed over.  Crossed over into the, "oh wow she must be due any day now" phase.  And I'm not.  Not by a long shot.  I am 6 1/2 months as of yesterday but with dos bebes in here, I look (and am measuring) about 8 1/2 months.

I don't blame strangers for their comments.  How are they supposed to know I have 2 humans inside of me?  But some people just say things that baffle me.

Here are some of the latest things people have said:
1. Are you happy you're having twins?  Seriously?  What am I supposed to say to this.  "Meh, it's alright."
2. You should quit sleeping at night because every morning you look like you've doubled in size.  No comment.
3. Wow those babies are really putting on the weight now because you're huge. The only problem with this one is I still have quite a few weeks to go...so if I am already "huge" what am I going to be in 10 weeks?  Scary.
4. Favorite of the week asked by one of my students: How sure are you that your husband is the dad?

It's all quite amusing actually and I enjoy coming home and telling Dave all about it at night.

But guess what?  Our babies are famous!  One of our ultrasound pictures was framed at the doctor's office.  It is a 3D image of them where they appear to be cuddling.  Pretty cute stuff.  I felt so proud of them already, like they just won their first little league game.

This was a month ago, so they are already much bigger than this now.

Dave and I registered at Target and it was really really (really) fun.  We registered there 5.5 years ago when we were engaged.  I think everyone should get to register somewhere every 5 years. It was hard for me to resist registering for a few cute clothing items, but we tried to scan things we need the most since the babe's room is still acting as our storage unit right now for all our boxes.

We leave for Oklahoma tomorrow and are so excited to spend some time with my family.  I will blog some updates from there (here's hoping that it's 60 degrees like it is in Austin right now).

By far, the cutest ultrasound picture I've ever seen!

Wow...those are some comments for sure! Justin is wondering the same thing that your student asked. ;-) (Sorry, he asked me to put that in my comment.)

Regardless what they say, I'm sure you look AMAZING!

You NEED to post a picture of you! I bet you look amazing and your tummy is supposed to be big! That's the whole part of being pregnant!!! I was huge with rylee and that was just one baby. The bigger they are the healthier they are so I'd be proud!
I hope your feeling good though and you haven't reached the super uncomfortable stage yet.
But post pics!! I need to see some!

Completely agree about the ultrasound pic - cutest thing I've ever seen. It makes me want twins for myself, well, almost. I think I will just live via proxy you and le babies ;). SPeaking of, we need to talk dates in January. I spoke to a few people today and rest assured, you will have one of many showers ;)

Basically, I just need to call you...k?
