This past November John and I found out that we were expecting! We were both very excited about the news.
At about six and a half weeks I was having some pain that I wasn't too sure about and probably being a little overly
cautious with it being my first baby, but wanted to have it checked out. My doctor decided to do an ultrasound and we found out that we were having not one, but two babies and they were identical. My jaw dropped, John's jaw dropped and we were in a state of haze. We heard their heartbeats and couldn't believe our eyes. The haze lifted the next day when we looked at each other and said, "we're having two!" Crazy.
After a
roller coaster ride of another six weeks after our first ultrasound John and I found out that our second baby did not develop after we saw them both on the initial ultrasound. Even though we heard both of their heartbeats the one just wasn't strong enough to make it. God has a plan and I trust that it is the right one for us.
The good news of course is that we are still blessed with another baby that looked strong and healthy at our second ultrasound. We look forward to meeting him/her this summer.
The anticipation of twins was exciting and scary all at the same time, but I did feel a bit of a weight lifted in knowing that we would just be having one baby and that we would have a normal pregnancy and delivery after this.
I am through the first trimester and still feeling a little
nausea at times and sleeping has been a little more difficult. Hopefully things will start to get better and I will get that renewal of energy that everyone keeps telling me about.
I hope to keep this updated as regularly as possible and even add a few pictures along the way. Stay tuned
