Okay, I have to vent for a minute. Telling people you are pregnant always gets an excited reaction. Telling people you are pregnant with twins gets an even more excited reaction. The typical follow-up question is "Do they run in your family?". (Usually I tell them "No, I'm just an overachiever!") Telling people you are pregnant with twin boys brings about a reaction that I'm a little tired of. Usually, there is a LONG pause. After that, comes a look of shock or fear. Finally when they are able to speak again, phrases like "Is your mom nearby to help? How 'bout your mother in law?" , "WOW, two boys, wow", "are they sure they are really both boys?". I want to scream it out loud- YES, they are sure!! WE are sure and we can't wait to meet our trouble-making duo! I feel like my boys are already getting slighted and I don't like it one bit!!
So, to those of you who have shared with me the joys of raising boys and how great it is, I REALLY thank you.
On another note, we are finally taking a belly pic tonight! If I can convince Jeff that he doesn't need to spend countless hours editing it, it should be up by tomorrow!!
Hugs and Kisses- Rebeca

You will love being the mother of boys. Take it from me- I'm an expert! I had three and I truly believe they are easier to raise than girls. Hearing all the stories from family and friends who had girls I was glad I didn't have to deal with those problems. Boys are more honest and their emotions are less volatile. Of course, there are all kinds of boys, but I know yours will be very special!! You and Jeff will be great parents. Your boys are very lucky to have you two for their parents. Happy parenting!!
Love,
Nancy
