Lately many of you have been tweeting to me or emailing me asking when I'm finally going to reveal the secrets I hinted about a few posts ago. I've been trying to wait until what I deemed to be the right time, but the truth is that I'm not so good at keeping secrets. And, more importantly, when I have a secret from you guys I find it very hard to write about anything else. So this morning I just randomly decided that today is the day.
In the post, there were three secrets, so let’s start with the minor/less interesting ones.
The first is that I switched accounts at work, from the uber-intense auto client I was working on to a moderately-less intense CPG and personal care client. This is interesting to no one (including me), but it was a secret that I had to keep from my team and it was killing me.
The second is that my father was diagnosed with colon cancer. This is neither minor nor less interesting, but since my father has little to do with this blog and doesn’t even know it exists, I don’t imagine you’ll have much to say on the subject. For those of you who are concerned, he is having surgery this Tuesday August 7th and we believe he’ll be fine after that. But prayers are always welcome. We definitely need my dad around.
The last and best secret (that many of you have guessed or already know) is that I am pregnant. Or “bunned” as Mr. Max and I like to say (hence the picture in this post). I am three months along and due on Valentine’s day.
But I have one more secret for you that many of you don’t know: I found out yesterday that I am having twins! The story of how I came to discover that is hilarious and classic Max, but I have to get going to work today (babies need to eat!) so I will tell you another time.
I don’t know what will happen to this blog, but I know it won’t become all about mommies and babies. A friend suggested I turn it into a dirty mom sex blog, which I think is a great idea. But hopefully it will stay what it always has been – a place where the truth is told about life, dating, and relationships, with a little dose of the truth about pregnancy and motherhood thrown in.
And boy, do I have some things to say about pregnancy. There is some shit that happens that I had NO idea about. None.
But that’s another post for another day.
Now that I’ve unburdened myself, the volume of posts around here should increase. But thank you as always to those of you who haven’t given up on me and keep asking me to write more.

Super exciting and amazing! Congratulations. If you have any questions about twin pregnancy, feel free to ask. Its amazing.
Hahahaha one of the first things I thought after I found out was that I would need to talk to you. Good thing I’m spending most of my maternity leave in MD so I can harass you from not so far away!
If you’re a group person, the next time you visit, maybe you can sit in on one of my Mothers of Multiples group meetings. They helped me IMMENSELY when I was pregnant. Also, pick up the usual What To Expect When You’re Expecting, which is fine, but, I am also gonna send you some links to some MUST HAVE literature. This is such a bright spot in my morning. Twins are so awesome, I feel like you’ll be a great mom. Also, I am totally down for the mom sex blog. So for it. And good luck to your dad!!
Thanks! I will definitely hit you up about the group meetings – I think the best advice and tips you get are from people in your own situation. At the moment, I have one cousin who has twins and then there is you. So more mommies to learn from is great! Thanks!
OMGosh! Congrats Max….. So so happy for you…. Yaaay! for twins
Pray Tell, did you do anything special cuz I also wanna have twins when it’s time….hahaha
Big congratulations to you and Mr Max…
Praying for your dad. All will surely go well
Hahaha not really. My grandmother has twins and some people say it skips a generation. But the main thing I did was wait til I was 36 to get pregnant – apparently the chances of having twins increases in your 30′s. That’s an argument in favour of waiting!
1st off – any career news you deem wonderful, I’m happy to hear.
2nd – I will be praying for Papa Max.
3a – !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3b – !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And lastly, have you talked to your doc about your plans to leave the country w/ such tiny infants in tow? Twins are generally smaller and I don’t know if he’ll like the idea of you traveling post-birth. That though just occured to me last night.

You make a good point. At the moment the plan is to spend the first couple of months at my parents’ place so they can get some time in with the babies before I head to MD; so hopefully by then it will be safe for the bambinos to travel.

Congrats on your new state of motherhood! It is a blessing that I wish to experience one day myself. And having twins make it even that more special. Your father is in my prayers, may he have a successful and quick recovery from surgery.

Sending Prayers for your father’s surgery and your family’s ability to cope during this time!!
I’m incredibly sorry to hear about your Dad. I went through this same scare a few years ago and no matter how treatable they tell you it is, the prospect of losing your Father is heart wrenching. I’ll be praying for your father and your family.
I KNEW it!! Congratulations!! And I personally can’t wait to hear about the preganancy and “about mommies and babies”
TWINS THOUGH!?!? *faints FOR you*
Thanks everyone for your well wishes for me and my dad. I will keep you guys posted on both.
Congrats! You should have a Max-logic baby shower with links to what you want.
Well scoop me off of the floor with a spatula right now! Congratulations Max!
First off, best wishes to your Dad and his speedy recovery…you will definitely need (grandpa) around!
Secondly, TWINS! I am laughing and shaking my head. Only you Max, but I am happy for you, this is exciting! Talk to me girl!
You know what? I’ve been meaning to hit you up ever since I found out I was pregnant to tell you and I kept fucking forgetting! Not because you are not memorable, but because pregnancy brain is real. As you know. I will definitely be hitting you up for advice because I want to be a cool as shit mom like you…especially if I end up having two boys!
Why is Adventures In Crazy a related post to this?
Anyway, congrats! And I am sorry to hear about your father.
Will you be on gchat more now tho?
First, I would like to say I’m sending prayers your way for your dad. I’m sure he’ll pull through.
Now, **screams** Congragulations Max that is awesome!!!! I’m happy for you. I’ve been away from your blog for a while but coming back and reading that you’re starting a family puts a great big smile on my face.
I’m sorry to hear about your father, my grandfather had colon cancer a few years back.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TWINS!
All my favorite Canadian bloggers are/will be milfs now.
Hahahaha all two of us?
I’m so sorry about your dad, prayers will definitely come from me and I hope his surgery goes well.
I’m so happy for you!! Twins!! my cousin and aunt have twins and I hope you pull through, when you give birth, one of your posts should be how you have to carry the whole house with you. I hope you have a less than normal birth pain or are you gonna go under the knife??
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Good luck to him with his surgery. But congrats on everything else though!
Congratulations on the great news! Twins? I wish you and Mr.Max all the well wishes I can offer.
Congrats.
Now, make sure Mr. Max has full care & control over the raising of your child, esp. if the seed is a male. Even before that, let us hope the child doesn’t get Down syndrome.
If it is a girl, I will be looking forward to meeting her in 22 years.
*does dance of joy* if you ever need a babysitter while you and Mr. Max go off to the hotel to rekindle the flame, I’ll be happy to book a flight and change some diapers.
Bless. Congrats…
Hope your father’s surgery goes well. My prayers are with him.
And also with you…I know your children will be beautiful and healthy, but remember that warning your parents use to give you about having a child that puts them through the same stuff you did?
Yeah, get ready to raise two kids smarter, wittier, feistier and cooler than you. Oh, and here’s a fun game: Try to imagine what the name of your child’s blog that they keep from you will be? lol
Sending prayers out to your dad. Sorry to hear he’s sick.
And congrats on the twins!!! Pregnancy & motherhood are one heck of a ride. And believe me, the surprises have only just begun, lol. When I was pregnant I read The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy (I think it’s by Vicki Iovine?)….like, 3 times. No scary stories, just the real deal, which is exactly what I needed.
Congrats again!!!
C.
Prayers are with your dad for a speedy recovery.
Congratulations!!! So very happy for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! So amazing! Two in one! If I had a choice I think I would go for twins and then end it all. Being preggo myself, I can’t wait until she arrives and really can’t see myself doing it again (I’m awful).
I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to read more. So good to read about others going through the same thing.
Prayers for your father.
Lots of love,
Catriona
Max!
Congratulations on the news. And twins too. Cool. I figure everyone is saying it but let me add to the chorus and say I’m sure you’ll make a really good (maybe a little smutty and potty mouthed. But I think that’s cool) and hilarious mom.
Cheers.
And hope all is well with your pops.
