Just so
everyone knows this blog is now going to be about me and my pregnancy with twins I want to blog about almost everything that happens just like I would in a journal. So here goes anything.
Yes!!! I am pregnant.... I am pregnant with twins! On January 20
th Andrew, Rick and I went to the doctors for my first doctors appointment. We went in and everything went normal we found out that I was 11 weeks 5 days... that was a week later than I thought that I was. I was okay with this news kind of excited. That I was almost 12 weeks the doctor said that we would be doing an ultrasound to check the baby!
The news of doing an ultrasound was very exciting and very nervous. We do the normal doctor stuff then go over to the ultrasound room. I get all ready for the ultrasound and the doctor does some little things before the ultrasound starts.
As soon as the ultrasound starts she says well we have a
surprise for you! I look up at my husband (Rick) and tell him that we are having twins! I looked at the
screen and there were 2 little white dots not 1 there were 2. At that point I didn't know what to think or feel. I don't know how long we were in there looking at the ultrasound but it was a while and the whole time the doctor was talking to us about these babies that are in me. She told us what type of twins she thought that they were but by the time she was telling us that I was crying and not paying attention. Rick was just trying to figure out what was going on and I don't know what Andrew was doing because he was behind the
curtain.
By the end of the appointment I was pretty much balling. I had joked about having twins with Ricky once and he had said something about it at the appointment. All I could do was cry. The doctor said something along the lines of me reacting the right way and that everything would work out. She also told me that everything was
ok because I have 2 boobs - I still don't know what to think about that comment other than maybe feedings will be easier. After the doctor left the room Rick came over and I told him that it wasn't funny anymore. He just hugged me.
On the way home all I could think about was what aer we going to do with twins? How am I going to take care of my husband, stepson and two babies? What am I going to do? This is now what we had planned. and there was so much more going through my mind all I could do was cry. We went over to Ricks parents house with our ultra sound pictures and told them that we were pregnant... It
definitely took them a while to understand that we were having twins.
We wanted to wait until both my parents were home to let them know so we had decided to wait until after our next appointment to tell them. That didn't quite workout because my mom wanted me to go and hang out with her the next day and I had to come up with some excuse not to go and do something with her when all I wanted to do was tell her that I was pregnant with twins. So on Sunday morning I got on the phone with my dad and told him my mom was at church so I couldn't tell her. I called both of my brothers and let them know. I finally got a hold of my mom and she was in the car with my sister. I think that I got the best reaction from them. I had hidden this from them for 12 weeks... All my mom could say was that she could not believe that I did not tell her.
It was such a relief to tell people it was like a weight was lifted off of my
shoulders. Then again it was just put into a bump on my belly! Yes I have a baby bump already. My next scheduled
Ultrasound was the 27
th (yesterday) and I will have to write about that one tomorrow or
something because I'm tired and thinking about going to be. I will also post ultra sound pics tomorrow from the first Ultrasound.
Let me know what your thinking about all of this.
The top image is baby B and the bottom one is baby A! When they were doing the ultrasound baby B was moving like crazy! Rick was wondering why I couldn't feel the baby! I think that sometime I do but I don't realize that it is them.
