Irish Twins?

I know that the term “Irish Twins” may have a derogatory meaning to some people, but I’m not one of those people.  I don’t think it means anything rude or crude, at least, it doesn’t to me.

I just had my first baby on 29 September 2008.  My son is just wonderful.  He is sweet, beautiful, smart, everything that mothers think about their babies.  His laugh lights up the room, his smile is contagious, he is wonderful!  Initially I wanted him to be an only child for the first few years of his life.  You know, that way he could have all of my attention, have all of his daddy’s attention, his grandparents attention, etc….

However, just this week, I found out that I am pregnant again.  I’m due on 28 October 2009.  So by definition, he won’t actually be an Irish Twin, but since he will only be 13 months older than the second baby, we are just going to use the term anyway. 

When I found out that I’m pregnant again, I was shocked, and happy at the same time…I walked out of the bathroom smiling, and instantly my hubby knew what my smile meant.  It will be tough having two little ones at the same time, but it will also be fun.  They will be close enough in age to be good friends, and play together all the time.

I still want to have at least one more after this one, and hopefully I will be blessed again someday.  For now, I am counting my blessings to have the sweetest baby in the world, and to be pregnant with another one that will make me the mother of the two sweetest babies in the world.
