Was that one or two??

I will be the first to admit that I've got some pretty irrational fears. I have a persecution complex that drives my husband nuts--I'm always afraid that people really don't like me, and that my friends and family will one day all run away from me screaming (hey, if it happened in 4th grade, it could happen again). If my children sleep in too long, or take a really long nap, I have to poke them to make sure they aren't dead. Like I said, irrational. But one of my worst is when I'm pregnant: I'm always terrified that I'm going to have twins, and until I hear just one heartbeat, I am quite nervous. Thankfully, just one today. I have always enjoyed hearing the little people's heartbeat, especially for the first time.

You are so much fun, how could anyone run away? I will admit, I was terrified you would be another boy--imagine the stress for 9 months!! But we all get just what we need. I wouldn't change any of you for anything. Happy heartbeat:)

I had the fear of twins too. When are you due?

Offically, April 12th. But since I have VERY large babies at term, I just don't go into labor on my own, and it is smack dab in the middle of leg. session, we are planning on inducing the first week of April. Probably the 3rd.

Planning for April 3rd? Where's the fun in that? Oh, if only you too could enjoy the excitement of your water breaking at midnight, 3 weeks early, while your husband is halfway across the country on business...
Actually, I guess "fun" isn't quite the term.
I love the heartbeat, swishy sound!!
