Warning: This post contains the word vagina.

Tuesday, October 6th, a day to remember as I begin my odyssey into blogging and the inevitable exposure to whatever brave strangers happen to read  it will bring? What am I doing here? I think I want to try this blogging thing mainly for two reasons. The first and most important reason is that in my attempt to understand the strange world of  being pregnant with twins, I came across a few(and believe me they were few and far between) other literate moms that either are or at some time have been in my same condition. And yes, I do mean condition because being pregnant with twins is a whole other world experience that has left me panicked and predictable. I can find myself in any number of the books stacked next to my bed left there on purpose so that my partner, we'll call him 3D, can trip as he gets up in the morning and get a sense of the dis-functional coordination I have to deal with daily. 

Where am I going with this? Back to why I want to share/expose my minimal typing and computer skills with the world not to mention my minimal life management skills with those non-enquiring minds out there.  In my fervor to find out just exactly what the hell was wrong with me these last 5 months, I found OTHERS LIKE ME.  Can you believe it? Other brave, exhausted and excited souls were posting their thoughts and feelings as well as the state of their marriages( ah or relationships as I fall into the latter category). I discovered women sharing the fluctuating state of their bodies (including the ever elusive vagina) so that women like me could  maybe gain some insight into the pregnant condition that I've yet to find in any book.   

 I also thought that with all the experience I've had in these last few months visiting doctor after self-righteous doctor( I can say that because I have attended double, make that triple, the amount of required college courses in the hopes of one day joining their godlike ranks) and having my medical history loudly repeated to me by one emergency room triage nurse after another, and having yet another ultrasound I deem myself worthy to be a liason for other gestating, or if you prefer knocked up women out there. There, I think that might be coherent.

 I am currently a divorced, 32 year old mother of two and unexpectedly expecting twins. I am in my 27th week of  a "surprise" pregnancy that arises from a 6 year, as of the end of this month, relationship with a loving, albeit as he likes to say "straight-forward" man, we will refer to here and in future postings as 3D. My two born children are Jorden, 12 and Ella, 10. They are my team! The two I am expecting are also one boy and one girl so we are doubling the ranks here in this family. Actually, when you include 3D and his two,  we are tripling the ranks but I will save that for a later post.

Okay. Just to be clear, I am a first time blogger and somewhat experienced parent navigating my way through the high hormonal seas of a multiple pregnancy. I am attempting to reach out and harness the power of the crowd, ala a crowd sourcing, in hopes that I can help a fellow human and maybe she can help me.
