Tracey, congratulations on your impending twins! Yes, all those feelings are very normal -- I even had times (I will admit) where I wished I wasn't having twins. Of course, now I wouldn't trade it for the world. It did start to feel more real to me once I could feel both of them moving, each in very distinct ways, and got a sense of their temperaments. But yeah, it didn't really hit until I was holding two babies in my arms!

I started writing this blog when my girls were 6 mos. old, so if you keep going back (unfortunately it's not easy to jump back to older posts) you can get a taste of what the early months with twins are like. Or if you want to get a peek of the really early days, I kept a personal blog during my pregnancy and the girls' first months: janescalamity.blogspot.com

Best of luck!

aaahhh peak cuteness...good news , you haven't even scratched the surface yet. Just wait until one is the baby and the other is the mommy looking after her. Or they start playing dress ups and tell each other what to do. Or get a crush on Pwince Ewic. I got a huge dose today- the girls holding hands at the lake discovering that with floatie armbands on- they could float! Ours regularly use the phrase "watcha doing guys?" to ummm, everyone.

Tracey..alll normal feelings .... "guess it's real" will definitely click in real fast when they arrive...although I'm still often in a state of disbelief but feel so lucky.

I have felt the same way through every single stage of my 3 year old's life. HOW could she get cuter?! How is it remotely possible? So here I am at 3 years, 1.5 months telling you I don't see an end in sight to cuteness! And given the cute factor of your girls, you've definitely got a looong time before you peak!

As an aside, I just found out I am having twins (is it bad that the first word that keeps coming to mind is that I have been "diagnosed" with twins?!) I feel panicked, awe struck, amazed and scared sh%tless. All normal feelings I presume?? Does it ever sink in throughout the pregnancy or do you birth two babies and finally go "hmm, guess it's real"?!!

Oh yes, my 2-1/2 year old is very fond of "When I'm a little bit older..." such as "When I a little bit older, I can wear your necklace" or "When I a little bit older, I can watch Nemo". It kills me every time!

Alex is approaching 3, and while he is losing some of the baby look, he's just so continually amazing that the cuteness factor increases regardless. He's got a better sense of humor than we do some days! Why, just this morning I made a very bad pun, and Alex was the one to crack up over it. I actually had to *explain* it to his father. :)

I never realized how much I say "how about" until my guys started saying it all the time... as in "how 'bout maya (banana)" "how 'bout boobies (blueberries)" "how 'bout fishies". Funny that it's always in relation to food. Oh and the boobies for blueberries thing is pretty embarrasing when we're at the grocery store and he yells for boobies at the top of his lungs! :-)

Clio looks like "We're not going to get into any trouble just for looking at it, are we?" I think she's possibly concerned about her future political career.

I think cuteness starts going downhill after 5 or 6...so you've still got a few years to go.
