It's been so long I haven't posted on the blog that it feels almost strange..Almost 5 months? 

Something like that since I am now 6 months pregnant! But it was impossible for me to keep up "blogging" since I had a really,really tough 1st trimester, which actually lasted 4 months and a little more. I actually had a rare complication called hyperemesis gravidarum characterized by ceaseless nausea and vomiting which resulted to severe dehydration, so I had to receive fluids and electrolytes through IV for a week. Honestly I experienced one of the most difficult periods of my life and I felt so bad because on the one hand I was feeling extremely blessed that I was pregnant, but on the other hand I was feeling extremely sick and as if I wouldn't be able to get through it. 

BUT! Since the title is "confessions" I have something else to share with you :).........

We are expecting twins!!! Twins!!!
Ok, I admit that the moment we realized it we were truly shocked. We were still a bit shocked and afraid  afterwards. Actually we couldn't believe it since we have no twins background in our families, so the doctor said it is pure luck! There is 1 possibility out of 80 to have twins. He also explained that twins pregnancy is quite likely to be difficult at the beginning and it might have been the reason of the severe symptoms I was experiencing.

But the most important thing is that the babies are fine, I'm feeling well and finally able to fuly experience this unique period. My bump is quite big now, though I just entered 6th month, and I already feel heavy and tired and hot. Very hot! But it's natural right? I'm carrying 2 babies. A little boy and a little girl. And I cannot stop smiling...
