Spontaneous Jacob and Ryan

Ever since we found out that we were having twins,
they have been referred to as "spontaneous"-
(twins that have occurred naturally-no fertility help).
Doctors and nurses continually will ask me how they occurred and then
will follow up with they're "spontaneous". The word has a new meaning to
 me now than it ever did before. There are several definitions of the word
but the one that I like the best is: (of natural phenomena) arising from
internal forces or causes; independent of external agencies; self-acting.
Everything around here lately seems to be a little "spontaneous".

Especially the growth of my belly. Last Monday my ultrasound measured each healthy and growing baby at about 2.5 lbs. That's 5 lbs. of baby so far in my tummy! I curiously asked my doctor approximately how much they will weigh at 34 weeks and she said 5 lb. each. Needless to say, there's going to be a lot of stretching and growing around here. Cocoa butter is my new best friend. If only it was warm when it came out of the bottle...cold lotion on a very sensitive belly is not so fun!
