Hello all,
Because I’m 15 weeks pregnant with twins, today’s blog is going to be all about just that. Twins. Did you know that 12 out of every 1000 births are twins.
Twins seem however to be more common among celebrities. Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Chuck Norris, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, George W Bush, Lance Armstrong and Nat King Cole are all parents of twins.

My husband and daughter are very excited about our little family jumping from 3 to 5. Evie takes pride in telling as many people as she can that her mummy has 2 babies in her tummy. Then her fascination with numbers takes over and she updates her stats, telling people I have one, two, three, four babies in my tummy. The scary thing is this is partly true as my chances of having twins again in a future pregnancy are 5 times higher!

Having twins means making sacrifices, we are planning to sell our cars and buy a people mover and the trip to Nepal with my sister will have to wait. However I’m anticipating being a mother to twins will be similar to climbing mountains, and Nepal’s mountains will always be there for a later date.

Having two cute babies is more than I planned for, it doesn’t happen often, which makes me doubly fortunate.
