Not So Helpful Comments...

It's interesting to be an expecting mother of twins.  Here are some of the comments that I have gotten that I find not so helpful:

• Better you than me.  (Thank you.  I'm glad they are mine, too.)
• I'm expecting my second child, so this will be hard - but not nearly as hard as it's going to be for you.  (Thanks, best of luck to you, too)
• I could never have survived twins.  (Well, I hope I somehow survive this.)

And a plethora of other negatives that I would rather not post.  I know that most people don't mean to discourage me, but I find these kinds of comments extremely annoying.  Pregnancy is somewhat scary, treading into unknown waters, for all new moms and certainly for first-time twin moms.

On the other hand, I have gotten many very encouraging words from friends, family and even strangers.  So, people, please keep the encouragement coming!  =)

This whole experience has made me much more aware of what I'm saying to other people.  Not that I don't still put my foot in my mouth sometimes...
