I have to deep breathe and brace myself when I bring up the topic of pregnancy. It really can be easier when other people bring it up first. But I do like your husband's point that your twins deserved the big announcement and happiness. torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-33016258961229594022014-06-10T18:17:13.912-07:002014-06-10T18:17:13.912-07:00Thank you! yes I need to keep reaching out and get...Thank you! yes I need to keep reaching out and getting support because I do need it. torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-13492964567838615452014-06-10T18:16:36.301-07:002014-06-10T18:16:36.301-07:00Thank you!

Wonderful to have maternity clothes so you're more comfortable. You're doing great. One step at a time and you'll be able to leave a story with baby supplies. Hopefully soon.

Maybe sometimes it's even easier to have the belly introduce itself? I've told some people, but with others I'm waiting for either a good opportunity or for the belly to become obvious. In part I simply couldn't handle another big announcement, like the one we did last year. Although my husband made the very good point that our twins deserved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-72831964837544064592014-06-05T16:02:55.580-07:002014-06-05T16:02:55.580-07:00Such a packed update and I loved the title.

That's great news on the behavioral health consultant. Sometimes doulas can be a great support too. Hehe, you made me laugh with the daintily sipping comment vs the reality of the whole mouth around the boob.

One thing I will say is that it can be difficult at first but once I and E got used to what we were doing it became much easier (and less stressful). I actually was just thinking this morning that I wished I was still feeding her myself lol.
