After throwing myself a little pity party for myself at the beginning of the week, I knew that the weekend was coming and I feel so great right now! The sun and warmth came out in its fullest splendor, in the middle of the winter. It was great to have two days to myself, but I think the sunshine and the warmth on Saturday lifted my spirits. If you've ever lived in a state with long winter months, you know how the dark and the cold and cooped up feeling can just get to you. It gets to me every year and the 60+ degree day was just what I needed. The windows flung open, fresh air, and no jacket was glorious.
As far as babies go, the biggest news is that we bought our car seats. It was surreal having the UPS guy drop both off at my porch. They sat in the living room and I just stared at them--two of them. It's the first major purchase that we've made that we have had to make as a pair. I think I mentioned this in last week's post, but each purchase or decision makes it all the more real. It's a good real now, but real nevertheless.
Now that I'm pregnant with twins, I keep bumping into people who have twins or are a twin themselves. Really, twins are everywhere. That's reassuring, knowing so many have survived, and not even survived, thrived, as parents and siblings of twins. It's such a new world for me, but a world I think I'm ready mentally to begin.
Last quote of the day. One of the hall monitors I work with asked when I was due and the expression on her face when I told her June was priceless. She did call me a saint after I told her I was having twins, so I forgive her shocked expression! Ha!
