Lately it has seemed as if half of all book bloggers (and quite a few authors) are either pregnant, or have had babies. An astonishing number of people seem to be due in April or May (seriously, what was in the water last fall?). With my son turning two and 1/2 at Christmas, it was time for us to think about our next baby as well, and it turns out that the baby will be arriving this summer, due July 23rd.
Funny story, though. The baby actually won’t be coming by his or herself. We went to our first doctor’s appointment and got a nice ultrasound picture of the baby. Then, a few weeks later, we went to our second appointment and had another ultrasound. The doctor appeared concerned or confused - which, by the way, is NOT how you want your doctor to look AT ANY TIME - and kept searching around with the ultrasound machine. Finally, she looked at us and said with surprise, “there’s two people in there!”
And then our jaws dropped so hard that we banged them on the ground.
So, yes, twins. Identical twins, actually.
Needless to say, this sped up our “we probably need a house now” timeline. One baby we might have been able to squeeze in, but two not so much, plus twins tend to come earlier than single babies. Luckily, we had an appointment to look at a house just a few hours after we went to the doctor and happened to love the location, potential, and price of what we saw. We should be putting in an offer soon, which will hopefully mean that we can end up being in the house before I’m ready to pop.
So, between that, our mini-move, and the heater drama that ensued Sunday - Tuesday (the heater went OUT right after we moved in, and the repair company had issues getting the right part), we’ve had an exciting week, to say the least.

Congrats on your wonderful news!!
Wow, congrats! That is such fabulous news. I hope you hear good things on the house soon so you can get all that figured out before all the babies arrive.
Oh my goodness, Congratulations. Hurray for two people in there. I’ll keep fingers crossed for an easy time of it. And hey, Daniel was (and I’m sure is) so cute you can definitely do a double take of that.
Sweet! Double your joy. Congrats!
How exciting! Congratulations to you and your family!!
Double congrats! I am due in early July with baby #2 and having the hardest time reading due to fatigue. It’s a little better now that I’m into the second trimester. Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
Congratulations! Wishing you great health and lots of rest!
Holy cow that must have been a shocker! Congratulations!
Congratulations to you and your growing family! Exciting times.
OH WOW!!! That is NOT what I was expecting when I opened this post. Congratulations and best of luck getting settled.
Congratulations! I think something is in the water with twins too. They’re popping up everywhere. Good luck with everything!
Congrats! That would be quite a surprise!
Congrats! When my mom had me they told her it looked like she was having twins in the ultrasound, and she told them “that is NOT happening!”. Luckily it was really only me looking huge in the ultrasound! Best of luck!
OMG TWINS!! Congratulations! My husband is a twin too
I was thinking it was about time!! Congratulations!! You’re life is about to get pretty wild, but pretty fun too. Yay!!!
Oh, and be glad it’s not like my mother-in-law. She didn’t find out she was having twins until the second one popped out! Eek!
Yeah, I think the same was true of my husband’s grandmother.
Holy sh*@!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m speechless!
YAY!!!! That sounds very familiar to the conversation at our ultrasound - it’s the scariest and also most wonderful news you will every hear! You will have so much fun!! We sure are….=)
Oh - and FYI - my twins were full term (38 weeks), so you don’t necessarily have to believe all the scary stories. =)
I’m really, really hoping for that. Doctor said there’s a good chance, since my toddler nearly went a full 42 weeks (41 weeks, 6 days!).
Congratulations - that is wonderful news!
Holy cow, that’s fantastic news! Many congratulations, and I hope you’re feeling well!
Wow!! Congratulations!!
Oh, my goodness!! Congratulations!!
Many many congrats to you and your family!! Both of my sisters-in-laws have twins as are both of our grandmothers. Were a bit surprised (and relieved) when only saw one heartbeat. This will be such an amazing addition!!
Wow huge congrats! Twins! That is awesome. Hope all the house finding goes well and you have a smooth and wonderful pregnancy.
CONGRATULATIONS!! Wonderful news!!!!!
