Hello and Welcome

My mother thinks I'm funny and told me I should write a book. While most mom's probably think their kids are smart and/or funny, mine apparently underestimates how easy it is to get a book deal.

So what's so damn fascinating about my life? Probably nothing. I'm mid-thirties, married, house job, and pregnant for the first time with twins. Yeah. Twins, there was a hell of a surprise.

Someone asked me after I announced it if it was planned. Because people plan for twins. No. It was just a thing that happened. My husband and I decided that we'd "see what happened" and what happened was that a couple minutes after I went off birth control I was pregnant with twins.

The sisters and a 21 week belly at Thanksgiving.

Mom always said I was an overachiever.

So here I am, 22 weeks and a day pregnant, and getting larger by the day. Husband says my belly button resembles an eye, and he teases me about my need to eat every 2-3 hours like a Hobbit.

In addition to twins, we recently found out that Baby A is a girl. Honestly as long as they're healthy I don't care, but it's really exciting to know what one is.

Baby B, who has been the trouble maker the whole time (moving around and such) was way less compliant during the ultrasound and remains a mystery.

So, true to Mom's wishes  decided to start keeping a journal, and I'm sharing it with the world. So join me here to follow along. Join me in snacking, alcohol withdrawal, that pain in the ass walk from the train to the office, freakish weight gain and rapidly expanding size.

I don't offer any advice because I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but that will at least make things a little more interesting.
