How is it being pregnant with twins?

If I had a nickel for every time I got asked that question I would be a millionaire.  No joke!  It has been so long since I was last pregnant that it is difficult to pinpoint all the differences but I can name a few.

-more back pain
-WWIII sometimes with the punches, jabs, and kicks
-I breath more heavily now
-GINORMOUS!
-one on the bladder and one in the ribs or two on the bladder make standing up really fun. :)  Seriously, every time I stand up I must do it slowly because I'm afraid of what could happen next.
-restaurants are hard to eat at.  Still hasn't stopped me from going but I can't scoot in much and I really want to just hold my plate up to my mouth while sitting back on the chair.
-stares from everyone
-And my personal fav "You look ready to pop! When are you due?"  aka...you are freakin' huge.
I always say I'm due sometime in May and tell them I'm having twins.  Immediately they say, "Oh, you are small for having twins."  Make up your mind people.  Just a second ago you told me I was huge!
-more potty breaks
-sometimes I just can't get comfortable....church is THE worst!
-I feel like I have been in my third trimester for 6 months now. 

I'm sure there are more but that will do for now.

Oh man, Kate, so much of that sounds like how I'm feeling right now and I only have one in me! I think this baby is more active than all my others combined! I feel like I am getting beat up from the inside out!
I'm due the very (very) end of May. I went late with my first three so I don't have high hopes that I will go early with this one. But, you can be sure that I tell people that I am due in May. Makes them pipe down about the whole, "Oh, you look ready to pop!" comments. I hate those!
