Well, here we go.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve decided today is the day to officially “come out”:\u00c2\u00a0 I’m pregnant!\u00c2\u00a0 I’m 12-and-a-half weeks along, and here’s the kicker: it’s twins.\u00c2\u00a0 OMG OMG Marco and I are still getting used to saying that out loud.\u00c2\u00a0 “It’s twins.”<\/p>\n
That fertility stuff can really work.\u00c2\u00a0 I bow, with tremendous humility and gratitude, to the miracles of modern medicine.<\/p>\n
It’s been strange sitting on this piece of rather all-encompassing information for the past three months and not sharing it with the world–or at least, I mean, with the GWP community.\u00c2\u00a0 So it’s a relief to say it.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m pregnant.\u00c2\u00a0 I really am.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 We went for the first round of testing yesterday, and so far, all clear.\u00c2\u00a0 Two heartbeats, two fetuses of relatively same size, both swishing around and doing their thing.<\/p>\n
I’ve been confused about whether to pregnancy blog or not, but, well, I just broke my own taboo.\u00c2\u00a0 So there you have it.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m preggers.\u00c2\u00a0 Overjoyed to the point of tears, feeling a little clueless, and nauseous as all hell.<\/p>\n
Marco has been wonderful.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s been serendipitous, really, having him home while I’ve been feeling so physically bleh.\u00c2\u00a0 Today he went back to his freelance job for a few days, however, which is also quite nice, of course.\u00c2\u00a0 My Love in the Time of Layoff column is about to become Pregnant in the Time of Layoff.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose my next column over there will have to be something about momentarily breadwinning wife expecting twins?!\u00c2\u00a0 (My Recessionwire<\/a> contribution has gone from weekly to monthly, by the way, due to, shall we say, other demands…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, here we go.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve decided today is the day to officially “come out”:\u00c2\u00a0 I’m pregnant!\u00c2\u00a0 I’m 12-and-a-half weeks along, and here’s the kicker: it’s twins.\u00c2\u00a0 OMG OMG Marco and I are still getting used to saying that out loud.\u00c2\u00a0 “It’s twins.” That fertility stuff can really work.\u00c2\u00a0 I bow, with tremendous humility and gratitude, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1902,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3109],"class_list":["post-1617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-motherhood"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1902"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1617\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/girlwpen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
