Should have known
Signs that we should have known things were different this time around:
1. I went to the GP to “pee on a stick” to get confirmation and a referral to my OB/GYN. I handed over the cup and he asked me what my LMP date was. I told him and he stated “Oh that’s not so long ago at all. We may not get a reaction on the test… Wow. That was quick. Yup, looks like you are pregnant”.
2. Sick as a dog. A dog that is sick that is. I had morning sickness like you wouldn’t believe. I even threw up a few times. Horrendous. I had not a bit of anything problematic with the other two. I now feel really bad for all the women in the world who have hated pregnancy and told me all their horror stories and for thinking to myself, “well I must be pretty lucky, as I’ve not had that problem, nor that problem, eewww, nor that problem.”
3. Zzzzzzz…… I am soooo tired. Getting better now that we’re at 14 weeks, but up until recently, I could sleep and sleep and sleep. And then possibly sleep a little more. And I have recently had to force myself to get moving to do stuff. Normally I’d just go ahead and do whatever was needed, but the past 3 months have been the most tired I have ever been. Even when Bert or Phee was waking me several times a night.
So really, we should have known something was up, that something was different. I guess we just never even considered that to be a factor.
Hah!

And there was that stupid brother of yours who asked at 8 weeks if you were showing already and you said no, but you were!
Sorry!

Ah…but I’m sure it will be twice as worth it!
(I say this from a safe, never-been-pregnant-much-less-with-twins distance. I have no idea what you’re going through, and hope that doesn’t sound too twee!)

Ahh the clearness of hindsight :) I can’t believe you never thought about it - I did more this time than the first because i was worried ow i would cope with Kaelyn AND twins

Thanks guys. Nope, seriously, twins never entered my mind, there was no reason to. It’s not like it runs in either of our family trees, or anything like that. I just thought I was growing sooner, as it was such a short amount of time since I had Bert and my (normally lovely and flat) tum was just stretching a little quicker this time.
*sigh*.

OMG! Look what happens when you neglect your blog reading (especially that of your blog host!) for a time…
Congrats guys! Hope the shock is subsiding…

Wow. I mean WOW. I check up to see how my old blog friend is doing and this is what I get. Congratulations! That is such fantastic news, and a bit scary at the same time. Wishing you all the best!!
My friends with boy/girl twins tell me that they get asked at least weekly if they are idential. Um, yeah. Her answer now is “Yeah - except for the penis”. So I think the lesson is that if you think people ask you silly questions when you have one baby, just wait until there are two!!
