Throw your party hats on, and let’s go celebrate! Preferably with some Mexican food :) Yesterday, I officially entered into the second trimester, and am thrilled to leave the last 14 weeks behind.
The picture below perfectly describes my appetite as lately. I went from eating a few bites of cereal a day, to wanting to eat everything in sight…seriously, I’m starving.
(I discovered this awesome shirt on Pinterest, source: here)
I’m constantly being asked a couple of questions, so here goes:
1. Were you using any type of fertility drug?
No, we were just extremely blessed.
2. Why did you get another ultrasound at 12 weeks?
Twins are considered a high risk pregnancy, so they perform ultrasounds at least once a month, which means I’ll have one at every appointment for the next few months. That way they can record both babies heartbeats.
3. How do you tell the difference between Baby A and Baby B?
Baby A is the lowest of the two babies.
And a few weeks ago, I received this comment… it wasn’t a compliment.
“If I didn’t know you were having twins, I sure would now.” (While staring at my stomach)
I figure this is only the beginning of awesome comments.
Bring it all on!
14 weeks
Are you kidding!?? You look amazing! I'm 12 weeks with my third pregnancy and already showing! People will always have rude things to say. You truly look fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteI'd just like to point out that I looked bigger than that when I was less pregnant with 1 child.
ReplyDeleteI had one co-worker tell me, 'Wow, your face is getting so round!'.
Seriously.
Love that t-shirt! And your bump is perfect. Ignore the rude comments and enjoy knowing you are growing two beautiful babies!
ReplyDeleteYou look radiant! I'll be 13 weeks on Tuesday so you are 1 week and a few days ahead of me. I'm so hoping that I get my appetite back ...it is so frustrating to know you should be eating but you are not physically able to because of multiple reasons.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! So glad you are feeling better and eating now. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour baby (or should I say babies!!) bump is beautiful!! Ignore all those rude people and just enjoy this time! It always flies by...before you know it you will be 35 weeks! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! So glad you are feeling better and eating now. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHi, you don't know me, but I am one of your many followers. When I was pregnant I showed very early, and got HUGE!!! I was asked several times if I was having twins, and I was not. Don't worry about what others say, you look fantastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have two little human beans in there. Isn't it the most miraculous thing? You look adorable.Do your back strengthening exercises. You'll thank me in a few months.
ReplyDeleteYay for twins!! They are such a blessing. We were just extremely blessed too.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a beautiful pregnant girl! With twins there is definitely no hiding the pregnancy. Congratulations and I'm so glad you're feeling better!

ReplyDeleteI have serious foot in mouth disease! Write them all down Ash! It will make a funny post someday. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think u look adorable! People who have twins are my hero's!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! How is the morning sickness going? I really hope it's settling for you xxx
ReplyDeletewow! you look great!!
ReplyDeleteI have a shirt that I wore while pregnant that says "does this baby make me look fat?" I loved wearing it in public and to see everyones reactions. When I told my neighbor that my baby weighed over 8 lbs at birth she said "wow, that's a good size. But then again you were good sized!" I didnt let it bother me as she is at least 100lbs overweight. You look amazing.
ReplyDeleteyou look gorgeous! I remember at the end of my pregnancy I went to Corner Bakery (major craving) and a woman said, "You should be at the hospital!" People say the funniest things to pregnant people.
ReplyDeleteYou Ashley, are BEAUTIFUL!!! I look at that cute baby bump of yours and say heck ya, they are very blessed! I hope you are feeling better now and you just keep on glowing hun! You are an amazing person and I am super happy for you all :) Yay to TWINS !
ReplyDeleteYou Ashley, are BEAUTIFUL!!! I look at that cute baby bump of yours and say heck ya, they are very blessed! I hope you are feeling better now and you just keep on glowing hun! You are an amazing person and I am super happy for you all :) Yay to special and healthy TWINS !
ReplyDeleteI got asked ALL the time if there were more than two in my belly. Both times there was only one baby. I eventually got used to all the comments and began laughing them off. I am literally all belly. I start showing early and just keep popping out. I don't get hip pain or back pain because my babies are literally only in my belly. I did have to rock a belly brace as I progressed to help with the extended weight, but definitely worth bringing my two boys here.
ReplyDeleteHello, you aren't big! You have to remember by baby #3 (&4) your body totally knows what's up and how to make room for growing babies. I am three days ahead of you and this is #5 for us. I am looking way more pregnant than you. And, only one. No doctor's ultrasound but my husband is a vet and we like to borrow the office ultrasound to check out the little babe. Seriously, when you are pregnant is the only time to be "fat" and not give a crap. Healthy yes. Figure? What figure? Who cares. Just let it roll... And eat some chocolate for me, I still can't even stand the thought of it. It's like a mini private apocalypse.
ReplyDeletesuper cute belly! Love the shirt too :)
ReplyDeleteComing from a Mom who was pregnant with twins not long ago I understand. And it is just going to get worse. People are so rude!! If they thought of what they were saying I would hope they wouln't say it. I put up a pic on facebook at 17 week and go so many comments of how HUGE I was and how people didn't know how big I was going to look at the end if I was that big already. Needless to say that was the last time I posted pics, which is sad. I only gained 41 lbs with twins so I didn't think it was that bad, but owell just take it with a grain of salt!!
ReplyDeleteI am mom of 16yr old boy Girl/Twins...(5 kids all together) and they are my 3rd and 4th in the 5. 16 years ago I had a lot of ultrasounds too, it's totally normal! I'd guess they are boy/girl twins too. My son's heart beat was always slower then my daughters. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I'm so excited for you guys! I can't wait to find out their genders!
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable and I am so incredibly excited for your little family! I can't think of a more perfect mother to be blessed with twins!!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful! Sorry to repeat but you!
ReplyDeleteKeep up that attitude!! Don't let what other people tell you, bother you. They have NO clue what they are talking about! You look fabulous! I really love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost 20 weeks pregnant (first baby) and I am just apalled at the things people ask/say! I'm sure it only gets 'better' haha! You look great though!!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great/glowing!! I look forward to all your posts and I might check it twice a day sometimes just to see if you have made a new one yet ha ha! Just so happy for you and your little family! You are so good to let those mean comments roll off your back! Kill em with kindness girl!!
ReplyDeleteYou are stunning!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read the blog below you will love her! I posted her page of when she wrote down all the things people said to her and how she wanted to react! It will give you a heads up for what people might say but also let you know how amazing you are compared to rude commentors. Hope you like it!

You look beautiful! Some people just need a swift punch in the throat! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful!! All that matters is that you and those babies are healthy and happy. I'm quite sure some people's shut up buttons and filter buttons are malfunctioning...so no worries. It is a fun, exciting time for you and your husband and family. All us blogger friends/strangers are just way excited for you and wish you a really good pregnancy. Life sure can surprise us, can't it? This type of surprise is the very best kind. Take care and keep smiling!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one cute preggo lady! Adorable! You are carrying high, so I am going to guess two girls :) I wiish you the best with your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteP.S. don't listen to the comments, bask in your own glory :)
Awe, I'm 17 weeks along with ONE- I know I'm three times your size and I can't even say "Its all belly" this time either.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful and I never would have guessed you were having twins.
Congratulations to you and your growing family!
I always had people stare at my belly when they talked to me...I wanted to say, "Hey I know I am huge, so let's move on" :) You look great and I wish you the best in carrying your twins. It was a surreal and magical experience for me. Those two little choice spirits will fill your home and heart with wonder and love! You have so much to look forward to :)

I agree that you have nothing to worry about. You look FANTASTIC and you are gonna ROCK that belly. You are growing two humans in there - it is a lot of work and you are entitled to be whatever size is required to get those babies here safely. Enjoy this time with those babies and know you are beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! I am so excited for you and your family! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that shirt!
