I love surprises...
It may be about time I let you all in on a little secret. Have you all noticed that there are a lot of pregnancies around you, or is it just me? My best friend is pregnant, my very dear friend is pregnant, my sister-in-law is pregnant and my neighbor is pregnant. That's a lot of pregnancies surrounding one person, don't you think?
Especially since I got pregnant before all of them. Well, at least by a little bit. (in my sister-in-law's case, I am due one day ahead of her.)
I am twelve weeks pregnant and thought it was finally time to share with all of you the exciting news. I am due on July 20th, which is my Mom's birthday. I'm more than just a little excited to be sharing with you about this exciting addition, not just because it's an exciting addition, but because pregnancy can be pretty consuming in life in general and not blogging about what is really on my mind can lead to a pretty boring blog for my readers.
But now, it's out in the open!
I am pregnant!
and so excited!
And now I can blog about it! Here's proof that I'm pregnant since most people think I am lying. (you know who you are)
Exhibit A:
The positive tests taken on November 13th.
Exhibit B:
The sister talking to my belly. (which is typically a tell tale sign that someone is pregnant in my family.)
What's that? Are you saying I look a little large for being 11 weeks pregnant in that picture?
Oh, that's because we are having twins.
Meet Exhibit C (scientifically known as Baby A, but emotionally known as OMG! I love that little baby twin in my belly.):
and Exhibit D (scientifically known as Baby B but emotionally known as OMG! I love that little baby twin in my belly.):
The cutest "exhibits" I've ever seen, thankyouverymuch.
We are over the moon. There are no other words.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Oh! Twins! Congratulations. That is wonderful news.
You know, I'd watch out for that sister of yours. It looks like she's offering one of the twins a glass of wine.

Big Congrats to you and your family.
My Daughter informed me on 12/30 that I will be a 40 yr old grandma in late Aug/early Sept.
She is so in line to be having twins- coming from all sides.
