Belly Bands and Stretchy Pants

Belly Bands!  Alright, so aside from belly bands and stretchy jeans, the first 13 weeks has been an exhaustive, emotional roller coaster ride filled with waves of nausea, frequent trips to the bathroom, and heightened senses that would put Spiderman to shame.  And when we say frequent trips to the bathroom that is what we mean; the urge washes over Becky and in that very instant she must find a restroom immediately. 

At 13 weeks, the tummy is slightly protruding, and her breasts are beginning to enlarge, which we are both overjoyed about.  Becky said, "Sean thinks pregnancy is sexy, and the best part of my day is feeling his hand cradled over my growing belly".  We cannot wait until the bump has become more obvious, and the little Irish lads begin to kick their pods. 

The initial fear about the volatility of our pregnancy has been replaced with hormonal emotions and excitement.  We cannot wait to meet our little wee lads face-to-face, hold their miniature hands, and kiss their chubby cheeks.  We took a few pictures of the tummy at 13 weeks to share with everyone and to track the growth and progress of our pregnancy.  By the way, do people ever quit reminding you about how hard it is going to be to raise twins? 

Warmest Regards!
