On Sunday, I went to visit my friend who had twin girls 10 days ago. The babies looked so good- they were both beautiful and perfect, though tiny. I had many thoughts running through my head while visiting-
1- There is a baby like that growing inside of me right now
2- They were so tiny and fragile looking, I found it very hard not to stare at them. I looked at all their features, just thinking what an amazing thing babies are.
3- Am I going to be ready for this in a few months? The answer is yes. Part of me wanted to jump ahead and have my baby right now! the other part is still excited about the pregnancy and fun things to come.
4- Our girls will be great friends in the years to come. No more couples vacations, we will have to plan family trips to the beach!
(The couple who had the twins are the friends we met on our honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico over 4 years ago. We have remained really close and done several vacations with them since then.)
5- Then of course, I started thinking of all the things I still have to do to prepare- Name, theme, decoration, paint color, buy furniture, register, pediatrician, childcare, healthcare, etc etc. Deep breath. I still have lots of time.

Lots of things to do and lots of fun things ahead! Joey and I use the same doctor for the kids and we love her. Relax and enjoy each wonderful step as they come.
Yes, it is overwhelming when you think of all the things you need to do to prepare. Then, when they're born, think of everything you'll have to teach them: how to walk and eat, how to read, how to be polite, how to drive, how to manage a checking account.... makes you dizzy.
Fortunately, it's one day at a time!
