Three Weeks of Revelations

In the space of three weeks, I found out that we were having another baby, that they were identical twins, and we were having boys. And I was losing a month, as twins usually come a month early. I was pretty emotional last week, especially as the Boy was away. I was especially dreading telling my boss, which I did on Friday...

I prepped and prepped and knew exactly how the conversation was going to go. I had mapped it all out, and had a solution for all her reservations or questions. I started, 'The Friday before Christmas, I found out I am having twins...'

At this point, my boss screamed and told me how happy she was for me. Phew! That went way better than anticipated. I also told a colleague based here, who I see semi regularly. As I guessed, she already knew - there's no hiding this bump!

I'm getting more comfortable with the idea of telling people and with the idea that I'm going to be a mother (to twins). I hope I'm not jinxing things, but if things do go tits up, there's very little I could have done, so I'm trying to embrace it - being pregnant, I mean.

Today, I learnt the wee bairns can hear me now. I have no idea how you talk to unborn children. I think the boys are going to think the dishwasher is their mother at this rate.
