Murphy's Law...No. 2&3 on the way!

julesy · August 8th, 2007, 06:01 PM

When my husband and I decided to start trying for no.2, our daughter was 9 months old. We figured, it will take a few months (like last time), and by then Nina would be almost 2 by the time the second was born...and then I remembered Murphey's Law...too late as it turns out. Because not only are we pregnant again (after one month...yes one month of trying), but they are TWINS!!!

This means 3 under the age of 2. Nina will be 18 1/2 months when they are born! We are of course ecstatic, over the moon, surprised and a little scared, but of course we should have realised that the minute we tempted fate, it would rear it's head!!

How lucky we are to have 2 in one hit...an instant family of 5, and no more pregnancies after this one! I just have to convince DH to get 'the snip'...I don't like my chances!! He was upset when we got our cat neutered!!

ANyway, here we are 7 1/2 weeks along, and a lot can still go wrong, but I must admit that I am getting very used to the idea of having two beautiful babies, the shock is starting to wear off, now reality is setting in, and it doesn't look to bad at all!! (Although very busy no doubt...)

Hello to all you new mums, congratulations! Any more twins out there due in march next year??
