I went for the ultrasound today and I was so scared that there wouldn’t be anything there, or I would have had an early miscarriage. I hadn’t felt any morning sickness at this point and thought this was a bad sign. BUT apparently not, because we have TWO babies growing right now!

I was in complete shock and it took me a bit to process. I stopped breathing and the doctor needed to remind me to breathe. Once I did, I started hyperventilating and needed another quick reminder from her. She said there is a small chance that both of them might not make it and one MIGHT get absorbed or not develop between now and my next ultrasound on the 1st, BUT we are planning on them both sticking around:)

I told Chris and apparently he knew we would have twins and never bothered to tell me, so there ya go. He was more prepared than I was for this surprise.

I don’t know if it is psychological or not, but a few days after this scan, I started getting some pretty bad day time nausea and my appetite hasn’t been there. Nothing smells, tastes or looks good, but I’m told that the prenatal is all they need for now if I cant eat enough right now. I also feel a little bit better, because I have been SUPER bloated and already have a belly at 7 weeks. I know its not the babies, but apparently twins cause the uterus to get bigger much faster in the beginning and the bloating with twins can be super intense.

Babies,

Well yall sure pulled a fast one on me! I cant believe there are two of you in there! I have been super tired and these past few days of work have been rough, but I’m hoping this means my little raspberries are growing good. I was prepared for one baby, but now I have a whole set of things to think about. How will we set up your room? how I will be able to breastfeed, love on you equally and make sure you each get from me what you individually need? I hope I don’t let you down and if you ever read this, I promise that I love each of you and will do my best for each of you as individual people.

Mom
