We are pregnant and expecting twins. Yes, you read that correctly - twins! Some common questions we've been getting from family that you may be wondering: twins run in my family; the old saying that they skip a generation . . . yeah, not so much in my family. There has been at least 1+ set of twins in each generation of my family for the last 3-4 generations . . .
Our twins are fraternal - both have their own sac and placenta, which is the best case scenario for all of our health. Twins are notorious for coming early so we are anticipating sometime late April to early May. As for how I've been feeling . . . it depends on the day. Physically: the nausea/morning sickness is mostly gone - and that is a huge blessing! I am hoping to be able to get a lot done during this trimester, though I definitely feel more tired than usual. All-in-all though - no complaints here. Mentally: I'm not going to lie - the thought of having 2 babies has been pretty overwhelming. That being said, we are adjusting to the idea and are grateful we were fortunate to find out early that we are having twins. We have a great doctor and are hoping for the best in the upcoming months.
Here is a picture Dan found the other day that we couldn't help laughing at.
Congratulations, Andrea!!! I am happy for you! My sister just had twins - they are a hand-full, but I pray that they will bring a lot of happiness along with their chaos. You are amazing and full of love. I love you!
