Mego Prego Week 10

Yesterday marked 10 weeks. Between the bloating and nausea and naps, I have found some time to truly be thankful for this stage of life. As more and more people have found out about the twins, the question I get asked the most is whether I'm nervous or overwhelmed. I'm not. Maybe it's because my due date is so far away or because there are enough distractions right now that I haven't really thought of the reality of it.
I just feel incredibly peaceful about it, like this is the way our family was to be from the very beginning. It certainly puts the last year in perspective as we wondered what God had in store for us.

Yes, it has occurred to us that putting two car seats, a double stroller, and a 90 lb. golden retriever in a Honda Civic is probably not going to work and that some ideas about life with a baby are going to be a little more complicated, but we are excited about the challenge.

At 10 weeks I certainly wasn't expecting to already have a "baby bump" but at 8 weeks I started noticing that my ability to suck it in was no longer an option. At that point, I started thinking...maybe there are two in there! Kristin noticed it first when we visited last week--but she wasn't sure if it was the baby or the spaghetti she made for dinner. Ha! That night, mom said she noticed a little bump when she gave me a hug. After looking at some other twin pregnancy blogs that compared their pregnancy with one and then with two, I realized that I am truly going to become mego prego!
