I knew there was something different about this pregnancy. Being so overly sick, feeling extra tired, feeling like I'm showing really early, bad pelvic pains already and on and on - not to mention that now my appetite has kicked into overdrive where I feel hungry all of the time.
I got quite the surprise at my "routine" OB checkup this afternoon. While joking with the doctor about how I've been having this gnawing feeling that something was "off" and asking if he was really only hearing one heart beat, he decided to humor me and pull in the ultra-sound equipment to do a quick little looksie. His words were, "let's take a look and put your mind at ease". After making some jokes, he started to get kind of serious and quiet and then after a long pause he stated "well, there's baby one and there's baby two." I totally thought he was joking and started laughing, until he proceeded to look very business like and point out the different little bodies.
TWINS! I -could -not -believe -it. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the number of children in our household is going to be doubled very soon.
Needless to say I made my way out of the office in a daze and I was shaking like a leaf. I have so many mixed emotions running through me that I don't know where to start. I'm also still feeling nervous to see if everything is ok since I still have a few more weeks until our real in depth ultra-sound. This just changes the whole ball game and me, the girl who likes to have her game plan down has totally been thrown for a loop. I have so many worries, am I up to the challenge of caring for twins when I already have two busy children? On the other hand, I also feel blessed that one of our prayers about having more children was answered since this pregnancy has been such a struggle. Like I said, my thoughts have been all over the place since I got home this afternoon and we have a lot to plan and figure out.
Are we excited? YES!
Are we scared? YES!
Is our world about to get that much crazier? YES!
*New goals for the coming month: Start stocking up on baby supplies x's 2 and get the Morgster potty trained pronto.
