Week 14

The past two weeks since our last blog have been nonstop and full of exciting happenings.  We enjoyed a relaxing labor day weekend of lake time, friends, family and tons of good food, for the twins benefit of course! 
Most recently, John received a job offer that we could not pass up.  Two bundles of joy will soon arrive, and we know that our budgets will become tight!  The Lord has blessed us tremendously,and we are ever thankful.

So off with the serious side note and on with the hysterics of pregnancy....

As apparent in the picture above, my little inner beings are growing.  The bump is interferring with button snapping and zipper zipping.  Bella Band by Ingrid and Isabel has been my life raft!  Leave the fly open, the bump can breath free, and no one has a clue but you.  Ahhh, I love people who come up with creative little gadgets. 

Due to this new growth to my midsection and our recent public disclosure, the whole world it seems has come together to give their special 'words of wisdom'.  While they all mean well, some cause never ending fits of belly laughs and others, lets just say cause a hormonal pregnant woman to give the...good old fashioned eyebrow raise.  

Twin pregnancies call for some degree of alarm when reacting.  It usual goes something like this, "OMG two!!  What are you going to do with two??",  "Twins?  Twins...  TWINS!!!!!!", "If it were me, I would just die!!", "Better you than me!", and the list goes on.  I love the reactions, and as you can tell in my previous post, our reaction was beyond shock!  Let me close this 14th week with my favorite reaction from a caregiver of one patient whom I had not seen in a few months...

Caregiver:  "Have you put on weight?"

Me: "Actually, I am PREGNANT with twins."

Caregiver:  "I thought you were, but I didn't want to say anything."

Touche my dear, Touche!!
