This week was a little tricky for me because I really feel huge.  With twins you measure about 4-5 weeks ahead, so in reality I look 21-22 weeks pregnant.  Its hard when you see yourself compared to other people at the same stage as you, but Im just happy that things are good, and my Dr says Im right on track.



You need a blog.

So some friends of mine told me that I need a blog to track this journey.  Fantastic idea!  Lets do this.

So we have been blessed with twins that are due May 30, 2013.  Quite a shock to us, lol.  I think my response to finding out being "Are you effing serious?" explains our reaction perfectly, lol. 

The first few months were full of terrible morning sickness and a sense of "Why did we do this???".  Puking 5-10 times a day was no fun.  Then around 13 weeks things calmed down and I have been feeling fantastic!  Since I am now 18 weeks and just starting this blog, here is a few updates from the previous few weeks:
