What's In Mah Belly?

Would you look at that mid-section bulge! Could it be way too much turkey and stuffing from the holidays? A little over-indulgence on the Christmas puddings?

Well, yes... It's all of that.


BUT it's also BABY! Or more specifically, BABIES!

I'm pregnant! With twin boys!

Chances are that if you know me, this is old news. But I'm officially outing myself on the blog so in case you hadn't heard, SURPRISE!

Frequently asked questions:

1. How far along are you? Today I am 16 weeks and 6 days pregnant, well into the 2nd trimester.
2. Has it been awful? Actually, I've been amazingly lucky. No real morning sickness, only occasional nausea when I don't eat enough. The only real symptom I've suffered from is some pretty heavy-duty exhaustion. Greg has been an absolute super star about taking care of me & indulging in my every little craving. It's been awesome.
   
3. When are you due? Officially, I'm due June 29th. But twins tend to come about 4 weeks early so more realistically we're expecting to meet the little ones in late May to mid-June.
   
4. Are the boys identical or fraternal? There is a small chance that they could be identical, but it's much more likely that they're fraternal. We'll find out for sure (hopefully) at birth.
   
5. Do twins run in your families? Nope. I was on Clomid, a fertility drug that comes with a 7% higher chance of having multiples. Luckily for us, it worked on the first try. Really, really well...
   
6. Have you picked out names yet? Sorta. We've picked middle names. First names have been much more difficult. But we're keeping them top secret until the boys arrive. Sorry, Charlie.
   
7. Are you seriously posting a picture of yourself in your pj's for all the world to see? I'm not going to lie. It's Sunday, and there's a very high probability that I will remain in my pj's for many hours to come. And I'm comfortable with that.

So there you have it. Now you understand why I've been silent so long on this blog. I've been obsessed with pregnancy & babies but not able to talk about it. That's also why we're planning on fixing up the upstairs bedroom from the post below. It'll be our nursery.

Lots of good stuff happening in the near future. Stay tuned for more updates!
