20 weeks

Now 20 weeks pregnant it is hard if not impossible for anyone not to recognize I am pregnant. Besides seeing pregnant women on every corner now, I get sympathetic looks from mothers and woman with that extra bump. Strangers all of the sudden have something to talk to me about. "What months are you now?", "When is the baby due?". I even had one lady saying: "Not long now, ey?" I wanted to burst out laughing. 

Also, more than ever I bump into things or spill stuff down my shirt. Unfortunately my hormones are still all over the place. Yesterday I started crying because my Dad refused to take the trash out when I asked him to and today I was on the edge because my mother wondered where all of my Dad's files would go once we start moving rooms for the twins...I mean: WTF, Alex??? Having always been the rather happy and optimistic type, this is seriously tragic. Where are the happy pills for pregnant women? Someone needs to get a move on that one!

My godmothers daugther- in - law gave birth to a 4000 g (!!!!!) boy last night. Imagine I had to carry THAT weight twice! I am pretty sure gravity would either take its toll and I would fall over forward or I would, before any of this could happen, accumulate a team of doctors and nurses to instruct a c - section myself!

Babies are now the size of bananas. Yum. Apparently they are swallowing a lot which is good for their digestive system. Have fun with that, guys!

In the last couple of days piles of books ordered of Amazon have started to arrive. An outcome of my low mood last week. If I don't make any friends, if I feel like crap - I can at least read. Thank you Mrs. Esser, my primary teacher, for teaching me and stuff you, world!

The look inside. Twins at 20 weeks. Still nuts to me.
