Twin Pregnancy: 3rd Trimester

I'm currently 36 weeks and thinking to myself... Yes! we made it! 

36 weeks, and I'm still holding strong. I wanted to take a little time to let y'all know how this 3rd trimester has been. I'm only a few days away from meeting my twinkles and I'm so proud to have made it this far. This has definitely been one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I'm looking forward to life as a twin mom.

Check below for a few belly shots, my AMAZING maternity photos & a quick update.

My belly has really doubeld  over this  last trimester. I remember thinking I was big in the 2nd trimester, but my goodness... I didn't even think my stomach could get this big. Yet, here we are. The last couple of weeks I didn't really take pics because I just hadn't been up to it. Like ya'll the stretching of my skin near my belly button is so annoyingly painful. But I sucked it up, and took some pics today.

My maternity Photos

I shot these with one of my favorite photographers here in Atlanta, Porsha Antalan of Femqua.
She is amazing and understood exactly the vibe I wanted to go for.
