I'm sure my many faithful readers have been wondering why I haven't written any new posts in a while. Okay so maybe all both of them just thought I nothing to say. I did in fact have something to say however, but my wife swore me and my immediate family to secrecy until the end of the 1st trimester. And when your wife is pregnant with twins, it's the only thing on your mind for any length of time. But the gag order has been lifted and I can vent my deepest inner thought in a medium that is viewable to all the world.
1st When people ask are you joking
I would never joke about twins.
2nd Fertility drugs
No my wife just enjoys being difficult
The looming weight of fatherhood is preeminent in my thoughts, but there is a great deal of comedy surrounding me.
Examples
My wife can no longer tolerant mint, mint tooth paste, or mint gum. Luckily there are alternative flavors of toothpaste on the market.
People's odd reaction when I refer to the fetuses as thing 1 and thing 2, apparently there is little appreciation for the great works of Dr. Seuss.
I recently found out that my nearly 90 year old grandmother, whose sense of tack has been completely lost, is probably a better secret keeper than the rest of my family. We told my immediate family about a month ago, but held off telling everyone else because of the high risk nature of twins. I'm pretty sure almost everyone told at least one person. For those that managed to contain there excitement thank you; everyone else . . . eh it's no big deal.
My sister got pregnant 2-3 weeks earlier, but I still managed to one up her, and since there twins they'll probably be born sooner
We're not going to find out the gender, and it drives my mother in-law nuts because she can't plan for boys or girls
So if anyone has any advice on how not mix up identical twins, and a place that sells double strollers let me know
