Two For The Price Of One!

Yesterday was our first scan at 6 weeks, 2 days (as the crow files). I've been so scared that we would go into this scan and it would be ectopic since I've had one previously. Of course, none of my symtpoms indicated an ectopic. In fact, none of my symptoms so far have indicated pregnancy at this point.

All the way in the car to Dr. Amazing Kevin's place I prayed. Over and over. Please God let me baby be healthy.

Apparently not only was God listening, He has a sense of humor. It took Dr. Amazing Kevin about 30 seconds to find this:



He says 'Do you see what I see? We've got two in there!' I'm pretty sure I said something stupid like, 'Twins?' Like two could possibly mean something else. All I remember from that point on was holding my husband's hand in a death grip. Until the miracle happened. He told us to be very quiet and with a wave of the magic hoo-ha wand we heard a sound I will never forget and would do anything to hear again. Twin A has a beautiful heartbeat and it was loud and clear. 111 BPM. Twin B has a gorgeous heartbeat as well but decided to not let us get close enough to hear. My shy one...

I was so relieved and amazed and shocked all the questions I wanted to ask went right out the window. Important stuff, too. Like, do I keep taking my progesterone goo inserts? I'm guessing yes.

Later on it started to sink in. Holy crap we're having twins! That means we need TWO of everything! I started thinking about what that entails. Two strollers. Two car seats. Two CRIBS. Double the diapers, formula, and bottles! All those neat baby things I've been scoping out I was going to get to buy twice!

Then I also realized that my rapidly dimishing waistline could be explained. Wait...I'm only six weeks along! At 32 weeks I'm going to be a large land mammal! I'd better invest in slip-on shoes immediately.

I can't wait for it all to happen...
