Things that happen to "every" twin mom

-OR- don't believe everything you hear.

Like most first time mom's I read a lot about being pregnant when I got pregnant.  I read even more about twins and what to expect with a twin pregnancy.  Now that I have only days left of this pregnancy, I feel pretty comfortable saying that most of what I read ended up being a load of BS... for me.  I'm sure for other women these things happened, but it just goes to show how every woman, every experience, and every person is different.  My advice?  Read.  Read all you can, and ask all the questions you can, but be realistic and remember that no two pregnancies are the same.  The following is a list of things I read that were often presented as twin preggo facts that just weren't true for me.

Let it Snow!

something something something dark side

It has been snowing steadily all day, It’s at least three inches deep right outside the back door.  I really want to go sledding and make snow angels and have a snowball fight… not a snowball fight with Cody though, he plays for keeps.  Instead, I’ve been unpacking our unaccompanied baggage shipment that arrived today.

A week!

Has it been that already?

I arrived in Germany a week ago today and I cannot believe how much has happened and how differently time feels now that I’m here.  It’s almost three o’clock and there is about an hour and a half of daylight left in the day. The light is dim enough outside, that my brain is telling me to start cooking dinner, even though my stomach is saying “Shut-up! You just ate lunch!”

Jet lag is a bitch

and other sleepy ramblings

So here I am in Deutschland FINALLY!  It was like the dam that was holding in all my emotion broke when I saw Cody!  I caught a glimpse of him as he ran around the bus that had just dropped us off and my eyes instantly welled with tears!
