I've been doing these "are you kidding me" posts for awhile now and nothing fits the title more than what I'm about to tell everyone.
About 3 1/2 weeks ago Seth and I learned that I'm pregnant with identical twins!! All I could say was "are you kidding me?". I can't have twins, I can't carry twins and then a few swear words might have come out of my mouth at that time.
I mean seriously if you had asked me one thing that I thought would never happen to me, it's having twins! But they're here and everything looks good. So we are expanding our family from 2 to 4 in one fell swoop!
Of course we're a little nervous, scared, happy, excited you name it and we've felt it.
I'm sure you have questions or comments and I'd love to hear them all but let me just make one request. Please refrain from telling me any "horror" stories about someone you know or something you've heard. I promise I've already had every negative thought and I really don't need to hear any bad stories. We need all the positive energy we can get! If you want more details call me, I'd love to talk.
Opps! Forgot one thing. I'm 12 weeks.

Oh and that cute poem is how we told our family the big news, with a pack of double mint gum attached, of course.

Congratulations by the way!! I am way excited for you.
I swear I left a comment, but oh well. When I read this, I kept looking at the calendar to see if it was April 1st. I am in shock!!! But, how great is that?!!! I think you will love having twins. You child will always have a friend to play with. I am a twin, but to have identical seems so great. They just seem to have a great relationship! And, let's face it, you are going to look darling with twins. Way better than me with one!!! Congrats, Seth and Amy! That is cool!!!
That is so cool! Between raising the kids and scrap booking for them you will be a busy gal:). I am really excited for you. Congratulations!!
I about fell off my chair. I am SO excited for you guys. Like you said, I can't imagine how you are going to carry them. You are so petite to start with. Best of luck and please keep your blog updated so we can follow the progress.

Amy, I'm not sure if you're emotionally ready for congratulations yet, but we feel really happy for you and Seth, Bella and Claire. Just think you'll have 2 little mothers to help you—maybe more help than you'll want. However, family is what we're all about and I know that you and Seth will be so excited when these 2 new little ones come to your family. Your 2 girls are so beautiful, just think how beautiful the next 2 will be. We love you and your family, we miss meeting with you and Seth for our dinner group.
Love, Wally and Barb
I am so excited for you! It is going to be so much work, but you can do it!!! I know you can!!
