The twinlets are 19 weeks this weeks. Which is the twin world is half way through the pregnancy. Which in my world is a scary thought and very real indication of how quickly time speeds by when you start to measure it in weeks.
It has been fun telling friends and strangers (yip, I've voluntarily told random strangers that I am pregnant with twins - sometimes I just can't keep it in and act normal) over the last few weeks. People are so excited when we tell them I am pregnant but the reactions we get to the news are that we are expecting twins vary range from envy to down right terror.
Anyway, I am super excited about two and can't even imagine the prospect of only having one now. I am amazed to think there are two tinies (the size of mangoes!) growing into little humans right inside of me. ***
Me and the twinlets at 18.5 weeks.

- Closed eyes and no words (sometimes I think they are saying a silent prayer for us)
- Very wide eyes
- "How on earth are you goign to carry two babies in there?" (I ask myself this question too but I believe you get the babies you are meant to carry and so far so good)
- "Rather you than me"
- "You are goign to be HUGE" (Thanks for that boost to my self esteem)
- "Two for the price of one" (Price of one? Do they have any idea what it is like to carry TWO babies? And what about the price of buying twin prams, two cots, two high chairs, to car seats, I could go on...)
- "I would hate to have twins" (Well that's nice, thanks)
- "You are so lucky" (One of the better ones)
- "At least you can get them over and done with" (This one comes up the most and I really don't understand it. Why would you have kids to get it over and done with? Children are a life long commitment. And maybe I don't want to get it over and done with like it is some obligation and not a choice...)

Thanks Elaine! And yes, so funny :)
DeleteTwins are the best news for the aunt-to-be! x
ReplyDeleteYAY! One each!
DeleteOh WOW!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! This is such amazing news! I am obsessed with twins - I know people always say it's crazy to want them, but I really would love twins one day!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it's in the "Bailey" genes! HAHA!
Congrats again and enjoy every moment!
Much love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
Thank-you miss Bailey! I am pretty excited about these two tiny beings (daunted, but excited!) xx
DeleteHi there Bailey,
ReplyDeleteCan't remember how I came across your blog, but have been following it for over a year now :)
Think it is an amazing blessing to have twins - sure there'll be tough times, as it goes with raising kids - but have always thought that there must be something incredibly special about two little ones that grow up exploring the world side by side, sharing the special moments of life. Like siblings, but even better!
And also, like you said - you & your husband will be blessed with exactly the right children for both of you & you'll have exactly what it takes to raise them.
Pray you have a great pregnancy!
Hi Nina. Sorry for the late reply! I am so pleased you enjoy B&D - thanks so much for reading. And for the well wishes with the twins! Much appreciated as we head into this unknown adventure. x
