7 Months Twin Pregnancy

I saw a friend whom I haven't seen for a few months last week and we got to talk about our preparations for the coming of the twins.  She was a little surprised when I told her that at 7 months, we haven't bought anything yet, thinking that it was still too early.  She was just too excited to give me a list of what we needed to have and frankly, I was a bit overwhelmed!  Naturally, that feeling poured on to my unknowing hubby.  I bugged him about it, sharing with him my fears that we might not be able to complete the things we needed to buy before the arrival of the twins.  I was also telling him about my frustration of not being able to shop for the twins myself as I'm on a modified bedrest.  Just to avoid being tagged as a nagger, I stopped bugging him after a day and forgot about it.

Imagine my surprise when he came home this afternoon with a plastic bag from the mall!  This may sound too dramatic, but I actually cried when I saw the tiny mittens, hoods, diapers, blankets, etc.  It was as if I could see my twins with their things already.  The reality of having babies for the first time struck me as so overwhelming.  This is it! It's for real! We're having babies! I was just so happy and feeling so thankful and blessed!  Lord, thank you for the wonderful gift!  I looked at my hubby and he seemed to be a different kind of person to me... I felt such a gush of strong feelings for him!  Love you so much lalav!  I can't wait for us to be parents to our beautiful babies!
