Jacob brought me a couple of his shirts last week for me to wear since I had grown out of everything I bought before coming into the hospital. It felt great to have something that finally fit but it didn't last long! Today my belly hangs out the bottom!! The last time I went into school over the summer Carol (my principal) jokingly gave me a 2XL and I'm afraid that shirt is going to get a lot of wear these next two weeks! Haha.
My next appointment is Tuesday morning as well as the much awaited 28 week mark. It's funny to think how unsure we were that we would even make it this far but here we are with no signs of delivery! I'm really hoping we can schedule a tentative date for delivery at this next appointment. I know the ultimate goal is to make it as far as possible but like I said before... I'm at a breaking point!

Enjoy your time as much as possible! When else in your life will you be encouraged to eat as much as possible, gain as much as possible and let your belly hang out?

My mom found me size 2x dresses that I wore. If course with so many babies its all tummy and it hung off the rest of me-but it was clothes. How big can you get? You will be amazed. I went 34 weeks with our five and two tape measures couldn't touch each other the might before the c-section. Positive thought-I was in size 12 jeans 4 weeks after delivery. You're doing great! (I got many "tent" and "litter" comments but it was the "Superwoman" and "beautiful" comments that got me through and you are both.

Congrats on such a big milestone! 28 weeks is indeed a great one! Keep up the great work- I know how uncomfortable it is...I really do. :-) I'm also a teacher, though I did take a few years off to care for my own five little miracles (and their barely older big brother). My kids are now all off to middle school and doing well and I KNOW that a big part of how well they are doing is due to the GREAT start they had by being born at over 32 weeks. Modern science can do wonders with early starts, but the longer you can keep those babies in there, the better for them. Harder for you...absolutely... but only temporarily. :-) Best of luck! :-)

Your belly looks fabulous on the photos, I like the one of you smiling with the pink shirt holding your belly, that's such a good photo that you can give the kids when they're older. So encouraging to see other quints parents on here who have had the same experience encouraging you along. You're doing fabulous, despite how you feel. Try to cherish every minute, what a great life experience you have that not many people get to experience.
