why was your wife shell shocked?

She lives
in Baghdad.

She went to the midwife last week because she was a bit big for 15 weeks.
The MW said that it could be one of three things

a) A bloody big baby
b) Twins
c) Stomach muscles have given up

She couldn't tell any further than this without a scan and we weren't scheduled for one until the end of this month - so we paid to have a private one yesterday.

It's twins.

In December we're going to have three kids under the age of 2! We've got to sell the cars and buy a people carrier, rethink where we're going to put everyone and I've got to find lots more money from somewhere!

people carriers turn you into cardigan wearing dweebs
it's a well known scientific fact.

3 kids under two isn't that bad. You'll just think your life has stopped for a few years, then they'll be out of nappies and able to fend for themselves a bit, and your wife might even start to find you attractive again.

/speaking from bitter experience.
