Just Another Mommy Blog

By now, most everyone knows, I am pregnant! And, as a bonus, my body is busy making two babies, not one. Martin and I are going to be outnumbered in just 5 short months - two newborns and an almost 2 year old. We are thrilled, albeit a bit overwhelmed. OK, a lot overwhelmed.

This explains my absence from the blog. Between puking, headaches, and sleeping, I haven't had much to say. Well, actually, I have had plenty to say, but I learned a long time ago that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!

Happy to say now though that the all day/night sickness is abating some, and I am able to head to the grocery store without barf bags. Well, I still carry them, but haven't had to use one for at least a week. I even cut the Zofran dosage in half this weekend, and so far, all is well.

So, as I was saying, we are going to be outnumbered. Martin and I hadn't imagined our life that way. Now I can't imagine it any other way. The logistics are certainly overwhelming. We'll need a new car to fit three car seats. We will grow out of our house much more quickly. We will need to boost that college savings. But, when I see Chloe dancing around and giggling, and I imagine three of them doing that, I just get really excited. Today I ran into an acquaintance I hadn't seen in a long time, and I blurted out "I am pregnant with twins!" I felt like a teenager and kind of silly blurting out the news. It made me realize just how excited I am.

We will be finding out the sexes in a few weeks, so stay tuned. I have a feeling it's a girl and a boy.

Oh, and before you ask:
1. No, twins don't run in the family.
2. They are fraternal.
3. No, I didn't have IVF.
