Introducing…. TaeKwonDo & Red Bean!

J/K, I don’t know what we’re going to call them on the blog, but we’d like to share our happy news:

I am pregnant with boy/girl twins.  They are due in November.

I’ve kept a daily journal for most of the pregnancy and could go on and on about what an amazing and spiritual experience it has been for me to carry twins.

The most helpful advice I’ve been given during this pregnancy is, “Never compare a twin pregnancy with a regular (singleton) pregnancy–because nothing is the same and if you do, you’ll go crazy worrying something is wrong.”

Names.  We the babies names picked out from the beginning and crossed our fingers that genders would align–and they did!  One name starts with a “C” and the other name starts with a “B.”  We’ve kept the names a secret.  However, my family members guessed all summer long.  (It was so fun!!!)  We do tell whoever guesses correctly.  ;D

12 weeks. Sick, sick, sick. Happy x million.

20 weeks. This is when I really “pop.”

25 weeks. I was already being asked by strangers, “Any day now, right?”

28 weeks. Before I was pregnant, I towered above Korean crowds. Now, every time I climb on a bus, people shout “아이고 (Aigo!)” and run as if from godzilla. I’m quite a show! 😀 On one such occasion, my perceptive Kimchi turned to me and said, “Mom, you look so beautiful in that shirt.”
