Surreal or not?

I just found out last Friday that me and my husband are expecting Twins. Even though I've been sick as a dog and sicker, more tired then usual and all my sences seem to be going out of wack this all seems so surreal to me. Like it isn't me at all but someone else even though we have the ultrasound pictures to prove it. Has anyone else expirienced this type of surrealism?

Believe me you will be twice as sick the first few months.I always was sick at night and fine in the mornings.

Yes, it was surreal to me too. I think it finally started to set in when I had my ultrasound at 10 weeks and saw both of them looking more human and moving around. I am now 13 weeks and in my 2nd trimester. I will hopefully be scheduling my next ultrasound today at my OB appointment. Seeing them makes it more real.

I knew I was prego with twins before the doctor did...what truly freaked me out was proof that they were both in there...then the total life changes that had to happen immediately...like the condo that we were living in was too small...so we had to buy a house, move, sell the condo, work, prepare, all by the time I was 7 mos pregnant...It was and continues to be a challenge, but every day it is an absolute DELIGHT to have two around...So, surreal, not really. I desperately wanted to have twins...the preperation for the actual arrival was a whirlwind. I havent stopped moving since I was 6 weeks pregnant...I LOVE IT!!! Good luck, we are all here for you...

PS...I had absolutely no morning sickness AT ALL...no back aches, no pains, nothing...at about 8 months it was exceedingly difficult to get into and out of bed...and up from the couch. But you get REALLY used to using other parts of your body to compensate...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
