"Looks like twins"

Mary Beth

I just found out that we are expecting this past Friday. Based on my irregular cycle, and the fact that my husband has been away for military reasons since June 15, my nurse calculated that I am somewhere between 5 and 7 weeks. I have PCOS and we were convinced we were never going to get pregnant. We had even begun talking about fostering and adoption! After a year on Metformin, I began to feel really ill and I thought something was very wrong with me! I took my prescribed progesterone to have a period, but it never came, and I started to get really worried. I had noticed swelling in my breasts and constant bloating in my tummy area. But I didn't suspect I was pregnant! Not once! My younger sister, who is staying with me while my husband is away, finally convinced me to take a test and low and behold I got two positive test results! Since Friday, my husband and I have shared our good news with parents and siblings. Last night, I was last minute trying on a bridesmaid dress for a wedding that I am serving in on Saturday. We had to spill the beans to his grandmother, because when I tried on that dress I knew there was no way I was going to magically fit in it by Saturday. After fussing with the dress for a while, I expressed concern over the fact that, for my first pregnancy, I am HUGE for only being this early on. My mother in law asked if I could possibly be further along than we thought, then she says "OR MAYBE ITS TWINS!" to which his grandmother replies "I was just thinking that, but I didn't want to say it out loud." Is it normal to be this big this early?!
