The anatomy of pregnant woman.


My due date was the 20th, yet here I am this photo taken on the 22nd with the same big belly and puffy face I've had since my 5th month. Let me say before I go on, that I am absolutely thrilled that despite the problems I have had during this pregnancy, the babies are healthy, huge, and apparently very happy in my womb. I was due to be induced on Friday, but because of a backlog at the hospital, I was last on the list of seven. I just got word that it should happen today or Monday. Until then, this photo is exactly how I feel. Huge, puffy - but happy to be up and about. My last ultrasound on Thursday said that the babies were almost 7 lbs! Well, I am off to pray for that phone call and plan for another walk :)

I was so hopping that they were already here. I know you are wishing that as well. Mom2fur has it right when she says "I hope you don't even see this comment because you are on you to have them!" Let me add, I just hope you have had them!

Great attitude, Mommy! Keep it up. We can't wait to here the news of the safe arrival of the boys and the end of pregnancy for their mother. You have been a saint! (Aren't all 9-month pregnant women?!)

Go, Michelle! The Tingey's
(We keep praying for you!)

Thinking of you, and sending easy labor wishes! I can't wait for you to get to meet those babies -- your patience is amazing!

Nicole said...

Glad your posting your progress. Can't wait to see those babies. Hope the birth goes well. Our prayers are with you.

Lene said...

You look amazing!
Who would have thought we would be hearing about you being over-due? Hope those babies get here soon and safe!

Dacia said...

What an exciting time! I wish you all the best during the delivery. Can't wait to see cute newborn pictures :)

Hi Michelle

I have been checking in like some sort of crazy woman for any news of your precious baby boys. You are so positive and your boys are so lucky to have such an optimistic mummy who always looks on the bright side.

You look fantastic.

Praying for all six of you.

Krissy said...

At least the babies are healthy, happy and giving you a couple extra nights of sleep! Can't wait to hear about their arrival!

Elizabeth said...

You are amazing! And you look it, even over due with twins!

Melinda said...

Look how cute you are! I am so glad you updated. I have been wondering all weekend if you had your little boys. Good luck with the call and hopefully you already had them?!

Holly said...

I think you look beautiful and are exuding happiness and joy. Your descriptions were so funny--I'm sorry some of your many parts are uncomfortable! :)

Jill said...

Wow, I am so amazed that they've stayed in there so long!! That is so unusual for twins and it seems like the doctors always want to take them out as soon as they're at 5 pounds, so your boys have gotten away with something for sure.

I'm excited for the delivery report and photos!

Marie said...

I have been checking your blog multiple times every day for a week to see those beautiful boys! I cannot believe they are still living in your belly!

And by the way, you are no where near as puffy as I was! You are positivly trim.

Natalie said...

You look great! Love the cloche hat - so chic! I'm delighted that those boys are so healthy and big - I'm sure that will amount to twice the sleep you'll get once they arrive. Hang in there. Hopefully by today (Tuesday) they're aready out!

Mikki said...

You look awesome!!! I SO remember all the swellingness. Oh my gosh, my feet looked like elephants feet. You really look wonderful. I hope all went well this weekend, and that you're now blissfully holding your two little precious bundles in your arms.

Amanda said...

The irony of all of this cannot be lost on anyone.

For months you have been so diligently on bed rest and who would have ever thought you'd be up walking trying to get them delivered!?!

Best wishes for a great delivery. You are in my thoughts!
