Here we go, times two

I’M PREGNANT!  We are so excited and have been since we found out.  My hyperemesis has come back with a vengeance this pregnancy.

 I actually ended up in the ER last Thursday afternoon.  They did an ultrasound to see how everything was going with the baby and make sure it was fine.  It was.  As I was laying there with my legs spread for this stranger to look into my uterus to see this little baby all I could think was “I just want to go to sleep!  I want to curl up in a nice warm blanket and go to sleep!” 

It was then that the ultrasound Technician that was getting a little close and personal with my lady parts asked if I wanted to see.  I looked up.  She turned the monitor around for me to see the baby and this is when my whole life changed!  “Here is your baby.” She said as she pointed to one of the black areas on the screen, “and here is baby number 2”, and pointed to the other black area on the screen! 

Yep, TWINS!  I just started laughing after I think saying O my goodness, O my goodness a few times.  Why laughing?  Well that’s easy.  Because when I was pregnant with Logan everyone and their mother thought I was having twins because of how sick I was, because of how much I showed right away, and just because they ‘had that vibe’.  It became the running joke with Dustin and me.  Even the Midwives asked if I was sure I wasn’t having twins’ because of how sick I was.  I just said “If I’m having twins, then you ladies missed something!”  Then because a lady that I work with had a dream about me a few days after I told her I was pregnant.  She came to my desk and said she had a dream that I had twin identical girls.  I just laughed and thought ‘here we go again’.  So it again became mine and Dustin’s joke.

When that technician told me I was having twins my life changed at that very moment.  Now we aren’t just going to be a family of 4 but a family of 5, 1 more then planned.  We will be buying two of everything…at once.  We will have a 2 year old and then 2 newborns.  Life will be crazy.  Life will be hectic.  Life is changed.  But life has also just gotten better and more interesting, for what is better then one baby?  Two babies!!
