The Girl looks absolutely adorable!!

BTW, my friends who’ve had more than one baby were telling me that they showed a lot more and a lot sooner with their 2nd pregnancies. I wonder if that’s true? You look wonderful!!! XOXOXO

Umm…Jeannie…sure…I was joking…yup, joking!

OK, of course if it was twins I would keep them both…but it was a very big fear of mine, actually a big enough fear that it was part of what made me so scared to go for another child for so long as we do have twins in the family, myself included. We have a tiny 3 bedroom house in an area we love and have no desire to leave and would have to go far, far away from to buy a significantly bigger house. Here there is absolutely no room to put 2 babies past crib age-it is barely a big enough house for what will be our family of 4, though we will make it work. As well, having another child was such a monumental decision for me that…well…I am VERY relieved that there is one in there.

Also, as a twin I can say I did not love being a twin at all. It was nothing my parents did wrong, and nothing wrong with my brother…but I did not like it. The comparison was non-stop (my parents did not so much…but it was still as issue at school, etc.) and being the less cool, less poplular, less successful at school, less well behaved, less attractive twin was not easy for me at all. Don’t worry about your girls though, I do think my experience was unique and most twins I know loved and love being twins!

But I think most women carry bigger for #2

And the Girl is probably just so, so excited!

But this:
. And no, it isn’t twins. Good thing too…I was wondering how I would ever manage to hide twins from everyone I know the whole pregnancy and delivery so no one would know and try to stop me when when I gave one up for adoption!

You aren’t serious, right?? That is a just kidding thing?

However, that is how I felt when I was pregnant with Sam. I thought for sure someone was going to call CPS on me when I was so fed up with Amber I dragged her out of the mall by her arm. I just couldn’t take it. I was tired, fat, and just wanted to lay on the sofa all day. Then the second trimester came, well so did a massive hurricane, and suddenly I had other things to think about.

So here is to you moving into the second trimester with no worries and no natural disasters.
