We're expecting... TWINS!!


So we found out in february that we were pregnant, very pleased because one of Greg's cousins had also been trying and their announcement made us even more hopeful, we found out a few days later that we were expecting as well:)

Greg and I went in for our 12 week appointment to hear the heart beat (which was magical) and Greg teased the midwife asking her if she could hear two of them, she responded with a no and all of the hopeful thinking for twins was eliminated. It was'nt untill I woke up the saturday morning after my appointment to a gush of blood!:( My midwife sent me to the emergency room where the doctor gave me my first ultrasound to check on the "baby" or so we thought. As he put the cold goo on my stomach I quickly told him that I did not want to know the gender, just in case you could tell already (you can't). As he moved the wand around I watched the ultrasound excitedly to see the baby as he said "It looks like there's two in there." quite calmly I might add. I replied with a "NO!, You're lying!" scanning the monitor with hawk like eyes and there they were, two little babies plain as day! I then said "You're kidding me!" with the last part of the sentence about five octaves higher than the first and started to cry tears of joy and looked at Greg which had a smile from ear to ear as he said to me "You always get what you want!"

Telling people you're pregnant with twins is so much better than announcing the regular pregnancy! I am now 14 weeks, not very big yet but from what I've seen, late pregnancy with twins looks like your belly is blowing a bubble that is about to pop! I am scared for stretching out and scared for the twins health but other than that I am super excited and feel so so blessed.dd
