Red skin, swollen feet and no belly button

So you can tell that this week it is all about ME! I haven’t even updated on the state of the kids but judging from the 1.5 inches my stomach has grown this week and the kicks that can move my entire stomach I am assuming they are A-OK.

My skin is getting a very red color to it which is different from my normal greenish palor. The extra blood that I am carrying for the twins is the culprit but it always takes me by surprise when I see myself in the mirror. I have had to give up on wearing any rings and actually got asked by someone if I was married the other day. I told her yes but my fingers were just too swollen to wear any jewelry.

A girlfriend of mine is pregnant and as far along as I am and her belly button is visible under her shirt. It looks like a button you would push for the elevator:) Mine is doing the opposite, instead of poking out it is getting more and more flat every day. Soon I think I will be belly buttonless and that will be kind of freaky. My stomach is getting into the freaky range for me, I looked at it in the mirror last night and it is really sticking out there.

I am excited to see the girls on Monday for our ultrasound and I guess I will break down and go and get my glucose test tomorrow. I hope I don’t get put on a diet:) What will I do with the 4 quarts of ice cream I made Jason buy the other night……well I guess there is always tonight, wonder if I can eat them all.
