Spilling the Beans

Well we ended up telling our family this last weekend!! Everyone seems very excited. Especially my nieces and nephews that they will have little cousins to play with. My nephew is 4 and he says he wants to change their diapers!! HAHA Too cute!! My parents weren't too shocked that I was preggers and said they had an idea but they were completely shocked to hear about the twins. My mom is already planning me a baby shower at the end of the year. I told her not to get ahead of herself as we are taking this day by day and we can talk again about baby showers in a few months. DF's parents also had an idea that we were expecting because when we went to an open bar wedding a few weeks ago I drank straight orange juice. It feels so much more real now that we have told everyone. It's made me excited all over again!!!

I also shared the news with my co-workers which made me more nervous then telling my family. I sent out an email and within seconds people were at my desk congratulating me. Everyone was pretty shocked about the twins and we all sat around discussing it for about an hour. It's funny, now that everyone knows I constantly have people glancing at my belly. It's kind of making me self conscious because I don't feel like I am even showing yet. There were a few people that said "I wouldn't of even known you were pregnant!" So they must think that my belly should be huge by now which it isn't. Again, I'm back to feeling unsure and am hoping and praying that everything is okay in there. I have been crampy on and off lately and I just assumed it was from the growing an stretching inside there. But who knows, we will find out at our appointment Tuesday how things are going. I really hope that we continue to get good news.

Dear God, thank You for the gifts You have given me. I feel so blessed for the things in my life. I know I couldn't have done all of this without You. Please stay by my side and help me make it through the rest of my 5 months and keep my little ones safe. Amen.
