I'm PREGNANT!.....WHAT? That's news to me....

I blame it on Rob  (he he...because it would actually be "his fault" IF it WAS true).

The other day I mentioned something about being tired and some kind of food being disgusting and Rob joked back (a little too loudly, I might add) that maybe I was pregnant, patted my stomach and said "hello" to the twins.  (TWINS?  WHAT?  read here).

I reminded him that "little pictures have big ears" (the kids were on the other side of the room) and he just laughed and said something about them not being able to hear him.

OH YEAH?....think again.

I heard from Little Red's primary teacher today that he announced I was pregnant....with TWINS on Sunday at church.

Is it true?...(I know you are dying to ask!)....

NO!!!!!

(I am, however, putting on weight but it has nothing to do with a baby or babies.  It's because I am only working out 3-5 hours a week and still eating like I am working out 12-13 (even worse actually).)

So when I asked Little Red about it a few minutes ago he said, "I said that MAYBE you were pregnant with twins."

To which I said, "But I'm not."

To which he said, "But maybe...ALMOST."

To which I said, "Nope...not even close."

Then I kindly asked him not to say those kinds of things anymore and reassured him that if and when we DO get pregnant again, I will let him know and then he can tell people.

He agreed.

sigh...

I find this out on the coat tails of a friend telling me she had a dream with Mr. Golden Locks and I in it, only M.G.L. was a girl...and a 60 year old cashier at McDonalds who told me that I had two girls coming my way.

Seriously y'all! 

Just in case you are counting, that's one more tally mark on the "Random Strangers Predicting Twin Girls"  sheet. (Not that I have one but I think I'm going to start one).

That makes it 6 or 7 now.  (I'm going with 7 because it makes it more dramatic.)

(okay, so the cashier didn't actually use the word "twins" she just said TWO girls...same diff right?)

Is anyone else weird-ed out by all of this or is it just me?

What is it about my aura that says "twins"?

I met a woman at the park yesterday while there with 3 of my boys.



She was there with her adorable, two year old, twin girls.



As the kids were playing we got talking about our children (as most women do) at it came out that I have 4...not 3 boys. It took her a few minutes to recover from her shock. Truly.



I told her about Rob's "prophetic" prediction...that we would have 4 boys and one girl. She seemed a bit stunned by that too but the conversation continued. Laughing I told her of Rob's amendment to his previous prediction....that, yes, we would have four boys but he now thought we would have one "girl pregnancy" but that there would be two babies ("Wouldn't that be so cute," Rob says the day he amended early prediction (which just happened to be THE DAY OF MY ULTRASOUND WITH KIAN...like can we not get through one pregnancy before we start planning the next)).



Anyway... The look on this ladies face was priceless. She gasped, "Oh my gosh....I was just going to say that." She said she "knew it" just as soon as I told her that "back when we were dating my husband said we would have four boys and one girl." She thought "No, she is going to have twin girls."



Over and over she kept saying, "I was just going to say that."



All I could do was laugh. I have lost exact count but she is now the 5th or 6th random, as in never have met before in my life, person to predict my next pregnancy is going to be twin girls. Most of them just stop me in the store and tell me so...without ever hearing Rob's own "prophetic" prediction.



It's kind of....interesting (for lack of a better word).



What is it about my aura that says "twins"?



I told Rob about it last night. He had a good laugh. He joked about how disappointed I will be if/and or when I do get pregnant next time and it is not twins.



The truth is....I probably will be. Even though the thought of having any more kids right now, let alone twins, sends me into hysterics.



As part of the "joke" I already have names picked out for my twin girls (although Rob doesn't like one of them). Not that I want twins, necessarily. I would probably cry....HARD. I have just come to terms with it in a way. Like it's inevitable.



I never think about my next pregnancy without thinking about "them"...the two of them.



How bizarre is that? Am I crazy? (okay...don't answer that)



Four boys and twin girls....CAN YOU IMAGINE? Only time will tell....and I guess if you are not reading my blog in the next 3-5 years (and I pray that it is at least that) you may never know how it turns out. :)



Scary....but then again.....
