Have so much so say. I’ve been away from my blog for so long now, much has happened in the past three months. Here’s an update.
Yes, I am carrying twins! No, it has not sunk in. I am thrilled, of course, but freaked out, understandably! When the doc said, looking at the fuzzy amoeba looking things floating on the screen, “they look wonderful”, I looked deliberately obtuse, didn’t think he meant what he did, till he said “there are two”! TWO!!!!!!!!Drove back in a daze, then called the husband!
Now to prepare my daughter – my sister in law gave me this Dora CD in which Dora plays the big sister and her mother has twins. I am starting to prepare my daughter, but my oh my…
Lot more has happened. I’ve developed asthma, have already had a minor surgery to strengthen my cervix and been on rest for a while. Better now, but third trimester is going to be fun – lie in bed and forget about everything. Right. Someone tell my three year old that!!
And oh, husband is very happy, but worried about my health. Not to mention stressed about the slowdown – world into recession and here I am with a bumper crop – timing.
But one cannot plan in life. Three months ago I was dismal because I was not getting pregnant and look where I am today! No, took no fertility pills! Husband actually asked me that!! Turns out that women over 35 have a higher chnace of conceving twins. Also, in my case it’s in my genes, father’s sisters are twins..
So, here I am getting bigger by the minute and getting on my mom’s case to drop her life and come run mine!!
WOW!!!! Congratulations!!!! Awesome news.
I have twin sisters, younger to me. Twins they say happens in alternate generations. Not sure how true, but have seen plenty on my mom’s side. I am sure your darling daughter will be thrilled. So when are you due?
Take care
Congrats! I’m so happy for you, and we’ll be praying for a safe pregnancy and delivery.
It takes the young ones a little time to adjust; my son thought that my daughter would come out walking and talking, automatic playmate, and was rather disappointed when she didn’t π “Mom, she doesn’t do anything!” I remember him complaining. Now that she’s a year and a half, he totally loves it. Except when she tries to play with his toys π
W-O-W! Congratulations! This is so huge π
Here’s wishing you a safe and stressfree pregnancy..take care π
Wow! Congrats and great news indeed. Really happy for you.
This is the first time Iam reading your blog. But wanted to respond to your post as a fellow twin mom. Yes, I have a elder daughter and now boy/girl twins. Its so much work and so much fun. Iam sure your daughter will be happy in no time like my daughter was and is. GL.
