Two sets of twins!!!

Did you read that and mentally GASP because you thought maybe Lisa was having more twins?

Sorry to dissapoint, but I am not with-child in any sort of way. (Unless you count a dissertation as a child, because then YES! I'm expecting!  My 120 page APA formatted child should be born any day now.) 

Anyway, two sets of twins is what I am confessing to you to be a secret fear of mine. I think I have good reason, and I will explain.

About two years ago,  right before my twin pregnancy I started getting these nagging feelings about twins.  I saw twins every where, heard about twins, saw twins on billboards, in movies and get this- I dreamed about twins.

I talked myself out of the ridiculousness that this was some "sign."  I mentally debated whether signs were real, and whether God would actually speak to me. Meanwhile, I dreamt about a set of twins, and in my dreams I could never see their faces, but I was usually holding their hands and we were on a beach.  I knew they were mine.


I would recount this to my husband who blamed my active imagination and reassured me we would only have one baby at a time.  This situation warrants a big fat:  Itoldyouso!!!!

Now that we have twins, I keep seeing/hearing/thinking about people randomly having two sets of twins.  I'm scared dear readers, really really scared. How could one body pump out four babies in two pregnancies? What if this will be our life??? How will I survive?

I might not survive. really, I would probably perish from the lack of sleep, or they would breastfeed me into oblivion.  The divorce rate for parents of multiples is high too.  (think: Jon and Kate plus 8, Jon went crazy, Kate was a Nazi. And I really can get understand and sympathize with why that all happened).

Please notice this mom's bad post-baby haircut and mom jeans. I WILL NOT BECOME THIS!

So, please if you care about me, stop mentioning me having more twins.  This idea is stalking me and for now I'll be taking precautions by staying an arms length away from my husband at all times.
