All I have to say is THANK GOD! My babies are ok. We went two days ago to the doctor's office for our 2nd prenatal appointment. I was so nervous and scared! I thought for sure that something would be wrong... vanishing twin syndrome... no heartbeat! I thought of every bad possible thing! My husband kept telling me, "it's going to be ok, honey." But I did not believe him for a second. The appointment setter said that we were going to be listening to the heartbeats today, so I just kept thinking... "Please, God!" When the appointment finally started (it felt like it took an eternity) I expected the doctor to pull out the doppler and listen to my babies but instead she pulled out the ultrasound machine! She said that it would be a lot easier to tell if they were ok by looking at them. The second that camera was on my stomach was the second I started bawling my eyes out! There they BOTH were, kicking and punching and moving around like crazy kids. I was so overwhelmed with feelings! I swear that I can feel them sometimes, I know that it is probably just gas but when I saw them moving like that, I realized that I could seriously be feeling them. They were so big! They looked like real little alien babies! I am so in love and can't wait to see them again, JULY 9th! Supposely we will find out if they are boys or girls at this ultrasound. Our daughter gets to come also and she is very excited! I am finally halfway convinced that everything is going to turn out alright. We are already pretty much past the miscarriage stage and as a long as I don't go into extreme pre-term labor, my babies are going to come out perfect!
This is going to be a busy week! My brother is graduating from high school so my grandparents are coming up from California. We only get to see them once a year or longer so I am going to spend as much time with them as possible! This is also the last full week of school for my big girl! I can't believe that after the summer she will be in 3rd grade! Time flies! My husband graduates with his master's degree in less than two weeks as well. I am so proud of my smart hubby! Life is going great right now! I am very excited to start our next chapter.
Here's a tummy pic! Well, actually right now it is not letting me upload the pic! I will try later...
I remember thinking that for sure we'd have to deal with vanishing twin syndrome. Nope! Then I kept reading that until 18 weeks, you can't guarantee you'll still have twins. I was neurotic and wouldn't even talk of names. Well.. at 31 weeks, one preterm labor scare and a million ultrasound, I most definitely have two very very healthy and BIG babies in there. I hope your pregnancy is just as uneventful as mine.
