It’s reached a point where I can’t fit into any of my shoes; even my favorite cotton flip-flops provide some relief because they don't squeeze, but even my go-to Crocs at home won't slide on anymore
What really gets under my skin, though, is the actual pain caused by this swelling, which means I can't get out for walks like I used to... although, to be fair, the constant pressure on my bladder makes long strolls pretty much impossible anyway
This past month has been an absolute struggle
And don't even get me started on the transition from lying down to standing up—it feels like I'm attempting to scale a mountain every single time
On top of all that, there's this persistent exhaustion, which I’m pretty sure is being fueled by this brutal American summer heat
I know I'm probably just venting and getting on my own nerves by complaining, but it's hard to help myself when things feel this heavy 🤦

I'm right there with you. And let's not even count the other eight hundred and sixty problems on top of it.

My two girls didn't steal my tennis racket or my hair 🙂 but they certainly did give me enough morning sickness to last through the entire first trimester. Personally, I’m thrilled because they’re girls, but my husband? He can't catch a break. People are constantly chiming in with, "Are you sure you didn't mix them up? Maybe the next one will be a boy." It drives me absolutely insane!

I’m eating pretty much everything right now!
What really gets under my skin is how everyone around me acts like I’m just being dramatic. They think I'm exaggerating when I say that being 21 weeks into a twin pregnancy is already exhausting. It’s hard to walk, contractions start out of nowhere, and finding a comfortable way to sit during the day—or even sleep at night—feels impossible. Instead of support, I get these constant comments like, "It wasn't like this for me, I felt great!" or "There's no way you're having contractions already; that happens much later." Honestly? I only find any peace when I read online that other women carrying twins have gone through the exact same thing. It’s the only thing that convinces me I’m not actually losing my mind.
