Punching bag ... inside out

The last few days I have really started to feel the weight from the inside out. I have only gained 4 pounds in the last 23 weeks, but the overall gain across my midsection is massive. I feel bigger and bigger by the day. I know I have a long way to go and A LOT more growing to do, so its starting to scare me a little. The good part about growing is knowing and feeling your babies all the time, to know they are ok. I remember when I started feeling Caroline moving and how incredible it was to experience life within my own body. This time is so different. It is the same amazing feeling of knowing there is life within me, but knowing and accepting there are THREE lives and that I am one of very few in this world that will be able to experience this feeling ... its overwhelming. At first I was feeling one at a time, so it was just like Caroline only in certain areas of my tummy but not very regular. Now, I am feeling them all, all the time growing and becoming larger and stronger. Most often it is becoming a chain reaction, where one will be moving and kicking, which will trigger the other one, which will then trigger the other one ... so the majority of my day I can look at my belly at any given time and see a party going on. They each have there own "areas" of my belly, (when I am looking down at it) the top left is Jameson (the boy), the top right is Scarlett (twin girl B), and the very bottom by my bladder is Amelia (twin girl A). All of this visual movement from the outside is helping me accept and adjust to the fact that there really are our sweet little babies in there and we will be meeting them soon, so more than 12 weeks away.
