Really feeling pregnant now!!

Beyond teensy, beyond kind of, now I am feeling pregnant, like never before. Gotta get up once or twice at night to visit the white throne. Gotta eat like a horse. That teensy bit of queasiness has grown up. I'm so tired that I feel like a deflated balloon.

I am still amazed that I am pregnant. Even though this has happened before, I still am amazed that I become pregnant without even getting a period. Yes, I know this is basic biology, that's not what amazes me. What amazes me is that I used to be infertile---we tried for several years before conceiving our eldest. And now, we hardly "try" at all and bingo!--new little person! Whatever was broken has been fixed!

We have spaced our kids roughly 2.5 years apart with ecological breastfeeding alone. It works!

Okay, so now I'm really wondering: was the doc right after all? Could I be pregnant with twins conceived 2 weeks apart? I know it sounds far-fetched, but it has happened. Pub Med has a case report of twins that consistently measured 1 month apart in gestational age, and at birth were neurologically and developmentally one month different. Anecdotal stories abound. Just look up superfecundation or superfetation. If this is true, then I will have gone from INfertile, to FERtile to SUPERfertile. This is astounding!!

But what if it really is just one little bubba. That'd be great too! I remember I was convinced, CONVINCED, the last time that we had twin boys. Even during labor. Well, out popped one little girl. (So much for mother's intuition.) I remember feeling INCREDIBLY relieved that I didn't have to do it again! So, if you are just a singleton, little one, that's OK too! Mama will be OK with twins, or just one!

Monday is my first prenatal appointment with our midwife. I'll let you all know about the results!
