Baby Fat

Wow. I am big. Huge. There's no avoiding it. I can turn my body at an angle, tilt my head just so and it won't matter. I will still for example have a double chin in all my baby shower photos. I was waiting for the elevator today (to go get a snack at the vending machine) and someone asked how the babies were doing. The guy next to him said "Twins?" I nodded and he looked me up and down and responded with "I was going to say..." I was rescued from that remark by the elevator. Or should I say he was rescued. After I got my packet of Skittles I felt like walking around the newsroom saying "That's right...Skittles. You got a problem with that?!"

33 Weeks

Not that I really mind being big. I don't. It's all for a good cause. Big mom=big babies. Most twin moms-to-be will tell you that our main worry is delivering early and low birth weights. And I love my baby belly.

But now that I'm going to be staying home I have to make sure I keep only healthy food in the house. No more baby shower cake, cookie cake, gelato...it's carrots and yogurt and fruit from now on.
