My good friend Genny gave me a book a couple weeks ago that I love! It's written by a mother of a toddler and twins. It has the best advice ever! She tells you everything exactly like it is without sugar coating anything! Which actually makes me a little more nervous, but at least I know a little more of what to expect. There are some really funny parts in it that made me laugh out loud... like the questions you get from strangers: "What kind of fertility drugs did you take?" Ok, are you kidding me? You think the only way you get twins is with fertility drugs! Then there was, "Which twin is smarter?" Again, Excuse me?? Or a question the author got when the twins were only a few months old, "Are they twins?" Her response, "No, this one is 2 weeks older!" It's funny how many unwelcome questions and unsolicited advice you get when your pregnant!
One of my favorite parts of the book is talking about how much your husband needs to step in, especially with chores around the house like laundry... which Jason isn't too good at! She says she doesn't think God gives twins to mothers with incapable husbands. I love that and hope it's true!
Anyway, thanks for the good reading Genny! Jason is even reading it now and it's such a helpful book!

You are so welcome!! I'm glad you like it and it has good advice. I didn't think about it, but I'm sure you get so much more attention from strangers with twins!
Glad J is reading it too. =)
The book sounds great. It is going to be one of those things where all you can do it take it one day at a time!
Genn told me about giving you that book. She is always so good at thoughtful and useful gifts!
What a great book!
Kelly, you all look so cute in your header pictures. I LOVE it of Derek! And you do NOT look like you are expecting TWINS. You look great!
It was so good seeing you guys tonight!
I love you header picture too. You are not even that big. I can't believe you are almost at the end!
What a great book. I'm sure everything will go fine, like the book says, God won't give you something you can't handle. So you guys will be great parents to those little babies. And, you look GREAT!!! I love your new header picture. I could never tell that you have twins in there. One hot Mama!!
