Wow! I think it is fair to say being a parent is one of the most rewarding gifts anyone can every experience. Thank you all for writing in. I believe this blogging could be pretty fun!

To answer a few of the comments. The girls are fraternal (they have their own sacks). We are shooting for a delivery date in August and hoping to make it as close to 37 weeks as possible (37 weeks is considered full-term for twins).

As far as names are concerned, we have not decided whether we are going to tell people or wait until after they are born. Everyone seems to have their thoughts on this. Although it does seem that most people believe if you tell someone the names to say “the names are ____and ____” instead of saying “we are thinking of ___ and ____”. I guess the theory behind that is that no one would ever tell you they are bad names once you say this is what I am calling my kids.

Here is a photo of me at 22 weeks. Every week we will post a new one to show my growth. Right now I am 37 inches around. If you measure me the way they measure mom’s with one baby I am 33 centimeters (the equivalent to 33 weeks)
