Our twin boys, December 01, 2005

I  am pregnant with two boys. In whole my life I was dreaming of having only one boy. I wanted him to be kind and sensitive, respectful and can appreciate things that people do for him. Now, I am going to have two boys...It is totally a surprise for us!

 I am the youngest of 9 children in my family and my youngest sibling is almost 7 years older than I. My husband is the youngest of 6 children and his youngest sibling is 6 years older than him. So, none of us had a childhood playing with a sibling, and now, we are going to give that to our children. Thinking about how beautiful my children's relationship can be with each other, gives me goose-bumps. My husband and I are trying our best to give them all the good memories that we have had in our lives and also giving them what ever we had needed and couldn't have.

I have been diagnosed with type I diabetes for more than ten years. It has been more complicated during my pregnancy but today I got my most recent Hba1c test result. It was wonderful. I owe that to my very caring doctor, who is concerned about my health very much. I send her email everyday, explaining how my blood sugar level was during last day, through 10 times blood monitor measurement, and also let her know what I ate the day before, and she is so caring to go through all the detail and help me get the best amount of Insulin to be fine for my children. I also bought a Glucowatch, but having very sensitive skin, makes it difficult for me to use it everyday. But as my sister said, at least we know that we have done all we could do to help our children having a healthier life.

My children will be my mother's 19th and 20th grandchildren, but it does not mean that my mother is less excited than any good grandmother could be. My sister who always supports me in any kind of problem that I have  in my life is very excited too, so are her daughters and husband. My other siblings are happy too, so is my husband's family.  I guess my twin boys have begun to make all the people that we love and care about happy and it is the most beautiful beginning for a very healthy pregnancy. Isn't it ?
