1st trimester: Week 9

Siblings

Thinking often of your own siblings? Many pregnant women say they do. If your parents and siblings live far away, e-mail pictures of yourself so they can see how your pregnancy is progressing. 

Twins

Double up on baby paraphernalia and you'll wind up with a lot of stuff you don't need--as well as a house that looks like a baby supply showroom. You will need doubles of a few crucial items like a car seat, the hallowed bouncy seat and other "entertainers."
