Today was our first ultrasound and nervous didn't even describe how I felt. I woke up in the middle of the night in a hot sweat and my blood pressure was 140/60. The doctor was running late and I swear every min felt like another hour going by. The doctor came in and he showed us one little heartbeat :). Moved the ultrasound wand over a smidge and there was another strong little heart beat. I want to lie and say how happy I am, but with my history and the boys I cried like a knocked up teenager seeing a positive on a pee stick...lol. I want to be pregnant and I am so happy, but I can't help but fear what happened last time.
The doctor reminded us to not share with the world because there is a 1/3 chance that one twin will vanish and there will only be one baby next time. I laughed when he said not to share with the world, because I am pretty sure there is not one person in this world that doesn't know our story. What the hell, I have come this far I need to keep you all in the loop and I need all those extra prayers from you all.
I called my mom in tears and her excitement was just what I needed. She gave me a huge, "That is so exciting!!!" followed by "STOP CRYING!" lol. It's amazing how at 28 years old my mom can still grind her teeth in a threatening way and I swallow my tears like I did when I was 5 years old.
I am excited. I want my twins more than anything. We prepared for them last time and it would only feel right to bring twins home. All I ask is when you say your daily prayers you think of us and that we make it til Christmas. 32 weeks is the magic number.
Thank you again for reading :P
