The Bebes {Update at 8 Months}

I am officially 8 months pregnant.  Holla!


We went to the doc yesterday for my 8 month checkup.  They remeasured the babies and found that they are still growing at a nice and healthy rate.  In fact the doc said they are overachievers...just saying they get that from Dave. Baby boy is weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces and baby girl is 4 pounds 13 ounces.  That means I have over 9 pounds of baby in here already and at least 3 more weeks to go!

Profile of baby boy Shumway at 32 weeks.  Baby girl was facing my back so they couldn't get a picture. We went to the specialist yesterday and they actually don't do as good of a good providing me with photos.  This was the only one we got, but it is cute!

Dave has been rocking it up with the camera lately.  Here are a few extra photos he took this morning:


So I have 3-6 more weeks to go - meaning if I went in to labor in 3 weeks, everything would hopefully be ok.  But it would be better if I could wait until 38 weeks (6 more weeks).  I will do whatever I can, but I have a feeling it is out of my hands a little bit.  And judging by the size of my ankles...not sure how much longer I will last!

Are you still working?

If you don't have a good excuse to sit around the house watching TV shows on DVD, I don't know who does!

I can wait exactly 6 weeks to see how cute these bebes are!

You seriously look amazing. You'd look amazing if there was only ONE baby in there, but the fact that you are having TWINS and look like this blows me away.

A) You look AWESOME and beautiful! Seriously, you look great.

B) I just spent the whole summer being swollen and pregnant. I feel you on the kankles. My whole leg looked like an ugg boot, but it was just me. You could press my leg in a whole inch. It was gross . . . and painful. And that was just with ONE baby!

C) I had Jacob 3 weeks early - which ended up being a huge blessing since I couldn't manage one more minute being so swollen and pregnant.

Good luck with everything!!
