Twins - Double The Joy, Double The Blessing..

I was so happy when I knew that I was pregnant, but for the first 3 months we didn't know that we're expecting twins.. I was suffering from morning sickness, vomiting, tiredness, and every bad feeling that can happen to a pregnant woman..

After the 3rd month I was really tired, so I went to the Dr. and here was the shock, I saw them, there's 2 babies waving their hands there!! Oh my God, thousands of questions came to my mind, and I couldn't stop laughing from the shock!!

But after some days we started to enjoy being pregnant with twins..

What can I say, it's a real Blessing, and if you're pregnant with twins, then I really have to congratulate you, because it's a very unique thing, a true blessing, and you are so special in God's eyes..

My twin pregnancy went well, but I wasn't feeling comfortable from my swollen hands and legs, and nothing fits my feet except 1 slipper, and couldn't wear anything else!!

I didn't gain much weight, so for the first 6 months I gained 7 kilos, but after that in the 7th and 8th month I gained another 8 kilos, so it was a total of 13 kilos, but here was the problem..

I suddenly start to gain weight although I don't eat a lot, and my feet got more and more swollen, so I made a urine test in week 32 and found out that I'm suffering from protein in the urine (+2), and started to have high blood pressure..

I took medicine to reduce the blood pressure but it didn't work out, and after 4 days things got more complicated and I had to have a c-section and deliver the babies because I was in danger..

I was so happy get the chance to meet my twin babies 8 weeks earlier.. now they are 5 weeks and a half, and I'm enjoying every moment with them, and enjoying their tiny size, it's just adorable..
