The News

Sorry for the radio silence, guys. It was hard not to be online a lot, but it was much needed time. So finally, the news for everyone…

We’re Pregnant!!!  WITH TWINS!

Yes, you read that right. We’re pregnant with TWINS. Slightly overwhelming and a little daunting to think about, but we are so excited and can’t be happier! I’ll try to be diligent about updating. I want to make sure to document as much as possible, as this may be our only pregnancy. However, as of lately, I’ve been really sick (bah! morning sickness!) and now, on top of that, I have a nice cold to go along with it. So needless to say, I haven’t been feeling the greatest. BUT, I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, and by the end, it will have been so worth it.

We were ecstatic when we found out! We were pregnant! It worked! We celebrated with chocolate cake and then called family to let them know, since we knew they were sitting on pins and needles. Then we waited. I can’t imagine what it would feel like if we had to wait for weeks and weeks for that first ultrasound, but we only had to wait for 2 1/2 weeks, which felt like forever to us. Even having our first ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks, we were still nervous. I was so afraid of doing something to ruin all the hard work we’d just gone through! When our RE got into the room and started the ultrasound, the first thing he said was, “Do you see what I see?” Um, YES! TWO sacs! That only means one thing: TWINS! We were shocked, excited, scared, and holy crap! Where are we going to put TWO babies in our tiny apartment!? Wow. The things that go through your mind.

Then we waited again. We got through Christmas, and just after Christmas, we got to go have two ultrasounds in one day: our last appointment ever at the fertility clinic, and our first appointment ever at our OB’s office. It was surreal. I was so excited that Darren took the whole day off to be with me. It was the first time we got to see the babies move! It was amazing. Both are growing at great rates, and the heartbeats were strong. We couldn’t be happier.

I’ll leave you with the ultrasound picture we got at 10 weeks 1 day. They look like babies! Baby A is on the left (head on the left) and Baby B on the right, with the exact opposite profile.
