An announcement....and I'm kinda in shock still

I am expecting twins. I just found out earlier this week, I am due Sept 8, although I will probably go earlier since it is twins. I've been trying to eat small amounts every 45 minutes to get in the requisite 2700-3000 calories that I am supposed to try to get in a day. I've tried protein shakes and milkshakes even and they make me all pukity. So, I am just adapting the best way I know how. I was shocked enough being preggers with one. Two is going to be challenging. But God does not give someone more than they can handle, so I'm sure this is a gift. I've just got to figure out how to handle the logistics of it all. I have been away for awhile, but thought I would pop back for advice.

Congrats! 

Melissa H is expecting in April.  I'm sure she can give you some advice.  She's a regular poster, so I'm sure she'll be on soon.

Congrats. I'm sure it was a shock, but I just can't believe that God doesn't allow any child to come into the world without having a hand in it. There are several on this board who can vouch that pregancy when you are post-op can have a very positive outcome.

First off, huge congrats on 2 babies! You and the babies will do fine. Just eat constantly and go into it realizing that you probably will not gain weight like you'd expect. I keep waiting to "pack on the pounds" like I had with my 2 previous pregnancies and it just isn't happening. I'm just finally up 2 pounds from my weight when I found out I was pregnant and I'm 28 weeks. Hang in there and keep us posted. 2 is always more fun than 1, right?? Or at least more of an adventure!

I am sooo excited for you!!!!!    Twins!!!!!  Thats so awesome!!!!!!


Take care of yourself and we will keep you in our prayers!

That's just awesome!

Huge hugz,

Thank you all. I am taking it easy & eating all the time, which is challenging because I have trained myself against that for so long. I haven't weighed myself in the last two weeks because I don't want to be vain about the weight because I will probably gain about 40ish, and it's just something that I will work out when this is over. When I was weighed at the docs office, I was up about 3 pounds. I am 7 weeks & 5 days today. This will be an exciting journey.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and having twins!  That is truly wonderful news!  I am so happy for you!
