Missed twins?

I feel so much bigger this time around that I'm starting to wonder if there's two in there....

Just to make sure I'm not delusional, I'm comparing three photos below - the first is me now at 23 weeks, the second is when I was pregnant with Jenna at 23 weeks and the third is me at 28 weeks. I'm even wearing the exact same shirt. I'm LOTS bigger this time (and I'm not even 28 weeks yet!!!).

There can only be a few explanations for this -

1). The ultrasound people missed a twin during both ultrasounds...although I've been told there's only like a 0.5% chance of this happening.

2). I'm growing a ginormous baby...perhaps a football player or NBA star?

3). The positioning of the baby???

4). There's huge layer of fat surrounding my cozy lil fetus.

Who knows....all I know is that I am bigger this time round. Yikes!!!

23 - 24 Weeks

I had a major growth spurt somewhere in the past two weeks...

I am still doing great with this pregnancy so far. I'm in between 23 & 24 weeks, gearing up for my next appointment soon.

I've been having more ligament pain in my lower front abdoment this time and more lower back pain, but that's probably due to carting around a 20lb toddler all of the time!

I'm feeling pretty good still, although sleeping is getting harder to do. Just the other night my whole left leg went numb, so I had to change positions. I think the baby must have been laying on some of my nerves or something!

We found the baby a dresser/hutch combo for a smokin' deal on Craigslist and it matches pretty closely to the furniture we already have. I've already been filling it with my newborn sleepers and onesies.

I have to admit that the whole not-knowing-the-sex thing is driving me crazy this time. With Jenna it was easier not knowing...I have no idea why. This time, I find myself constantly wondering. BUT with that said, I know that D-Day will be so amazing and I'll have the biggest surprise of my life. I keep getting the feeling that it's a boy. I could be very wrong though, it's a 50/50 guess!
