Am I crazy?

(That is a rhetorical question, by the way. Open-mouthed smile )

Have any of you mothers ever “felt” something was different with a pregnancy? Different than it was with your previous pregnancies? Maybe “intuition” is a better word. Either way, what was it? Were you right?

I know this will make me sound completely off my rocker and I have no basis for this feeling at all. In fact, I hesitate to mention something because it sounds so….ridiculous. Silly. Off the wall. Out there. Cue “Twilight Zone” music. Alien

But truth be told, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m expecting twins. I don’t know why. Many people have said they think I am, but I don’t put much stock into that. I just have this nagging feeling (if you will) that it’s true. Why? There are no twins in my family (that I know of. Mom?). Nor in Adam’s family (although that has no baring on me. On our children, yes, but not on me). I certainly did not take any infertility treatments (yeah, us Bunnyhave no problem with that here! ). So why?

The difference thus far:

~ My Dr. said that I wouldn’t get much bigger than a singleton pregnancy until about that time. So that doesn’t necessarily explain my baby bump that I’ve had for the past 2 weeks. I never get baby bumps this early! Remember, I’m not a tiny woman.

~ I’m measuring large. But I have since Isaac.

~ My back has been hurting worse earlier, but since two babies at less than 4 oz each wouldn’t make that much difference, I can’t use that.

~ The nausea has been worse, and longer, than it was with Damaris. But I never had nausea until her anyway, so who knows why?

~ I have always lost weight the 1st and 2nd trimesters. But I’ve not lost anything, and gained a little, with this one by 11 weeks. I can eat gluten now, so maybe…?

~ When the nausea isn’t to bothersome, I actually want to eat. That’s a new one.

~ and more, but I think I’ve bored you long enough.

Now keep in mind, that both Adam and I have had an idea of what the sex of our babies have been before. And Adam has been right. Every. Single. Time. And I’ve been wrong. Every. Single. Time.  But this is different. I was just making an educated guess (if there is such thing with guessing the sex of a baby!). This belief, if you will (although I don’t think it’s quite to that level yet), goes so much deeper. Adam, by the way, says he has no clue. Well you’re not much help!

Is it “mother’s intuition”? Is it the Lord giving me an idea of what’s to come, so I don’t fall off the ultrasound table? 20 weeks can’t get here fast enough! I covet your prayers!!

So. Am I crazy?
