The 13 week Twin Ultrasound and Appointment
March 22, 2012 by 17 Comments
Monday morning my parents, who had driven 12 hours the night before to make it here, met us at the house so we could all head to the Dr. together for my 13 week ultrasound. I was excited to see them and nervous about the appt – I wanted to make sure the babies were ok.
The tech squeezed us all in the room and I held my breath and said a small prayer as she waved the wand over my stomach – and the flurry of motion that came with it on the screen was reassuring. “Are they ok?” I asked.
She nodded. “Yep, see – two heartbeats, both kicking around. Were you nervous?” I nodded and she smiled. “Everything is fine.”
“Still fraternal?” I said.
“Still fraternal.” [Read more...]
Beating the odds – 9 years in.
February 6, 2012 by 19 Comments
Arms slide around me as I cook Bella lunch. “Happy Anniversary,” I hear murmured in my ear.
I startle, turning to face him, then laugh. “I forgot,” I admit sheepishly. “I mean, I knew, I just spaced it out this morning.”
Sam smiles and nods. “Me too.”
And we stand, hugging each other as Bella plays next to us. I think back to our 9 years – the ups and downs and in betweens. The good times and the bad. The rich and the poor.
Here we are. El Paso. Army. Pregnant with our second. In love and happier than I would have thought possible 2 short years ago as it all fell apart. [Read more...]
First Midwife Appointment – I was listened to.
February 3, 2012 by 19 Comments
It’s taken me all evening and night to process how to write the impact of a caring medical person on a nervous to-be mother. But when I walked into my midwife’s clinic yesterday, I knew from the moment I met the first nurse that this was it. I had found the place I needed to be as long as we are here.
I went a bundle of nerves, and when the nurse asked me to pee in the cup so she could dip the stick, I had the thought, “Oh my, what if she tells me I’m not pregnant? How embarrassing would that be?”
I still am. Since the paralyzing morning sickness wasn’t enough to convince me. [Read more...]
4 weeks 3 days pregnant {and how we all found out}
January 18, 2012 by 58 Comments
Yes, I’m telling everyone very early about being pregnant (announced it here yesterday). I’ve gotten a few (non-evil) comments over how early I am, and while I don’t feel I need to explain (after all, it’s my body and Sam and I are comfortable with our decision) I kind of want to explain.
I found out last Thursday at around 11am. Bella and I had gone for a playdate to my girlfriend Tanya’s home, and I was feeling sick. She laughingly suggested I take a pregnancy test, but I knew the chances of me seeing a line at that point were slim to none. But I figured it couldn’t hurt and she had a few left over.
30 seconds later I was staring at this:
Water droplets - I promise.
My mind couldn’t quite wrap around it.
And then. I did what I vowed as a second time mother to be I would never do. [Read more...]
