So I am really pregnant, we have made it
official by telling our family. The boys were so excited, my family was
shocked, and of course my mom cried tears of joy. We went up to Virginia for
Thanksgiving and shared it with Eric’s family. It was perfect, Eric’s cousin
also had the same surprise for the family. What a special moment to be able to
share the same news with the entire family. I was glad Eric was able to tell
his mom in person and to see her face. Priceless!
It was now time for the first appointment!
I figured this would be a pretty easy appointment, you know been there done
that! I should have known it would be different when I went in and saw a new
doctor at my practice. I think she was younger then I was, I wanted to see her
delivery records. She was very sweet but I don’t know if it was the pregnancy
but I went in saying something else must be wrong with me. We talked for a while and she assured me that
my numbers were pretty high so I was really pregnant but we would go take a
look so she could measure and get a due date.
At this point I was so in love with the
baby, my heart was so full of joy….it was my head that had not caught up, I still
could not wrap my brain around the idea we were starting again.
I laid there on the table and can remember
being so excited to see the heartbeat. I loved all my appointments when I was
able to hear the boy’s heartbeats but there is something about seeing it for
the first time. At that point I really wish Eric was there but he was home with
the boys, we figured it would be a quick appointment, meet the new doctors, get
a few pictures, and set up the next appointment.
The sweet doctor was still reassuring me
nothing I could have done before knowing I was pregnant would have hurt the
baby, everything was going to be perfect, and then she went silent. I stared at
the screen, she stared, I saw the sac, and then the other sac! My first
question---That is not a reflection there is it? She responded no, she thought
I would handle it better if I said it first. Nope, still in shock!!! Yes, there
clear as day, 2 sacs and 2 strong heartbeats beating away. WOW! I am glad I was
already laying down. I started to laugh hysterical. I could not take my eyes of the screen as she
typed the words TWINS. Picture this, I am trying to answer her questions but still
laughing away. She asked if she could give me something. I am thinking YES! I
really think I need something now. She went in the hall and brought in my
yearly doctor I normally see. Once she told me everything was perfect with the
twins I was ok…. I pulled myself together, checked out, and drove home.
I cannot
remember that drive at all, I just left the office and then I was pulling up in
my driveway. I walked in and handed Eric the picture, he already knew it. He
had been telling our family that we would have twins ever since I took the
pregnancy test. The boys on the other hand could not believe it. They were so
excited we would be getting 2 babies. L was the most excited! I was really
worried on how he would react not being the youngest anymore but he was ecstatic.
We won he yelled, I was thinking won what? We beat the W family, they had one
more and are now a family of 6, and we get 2 and will be a family of 7!! That boy
is too funny, yes there is no competition in this family……
And the pregnancy begins…..our hearts are all overwhelmed with love for these two little ones!!!
