Are you sitting down?

Seriously…you should.

I had my ultrasound this morning.  Mama’s having not one, but two babies!

(Which explains so much about the craziness I’ve enjoyed during the first 12 weeks of this pregnancy!)

I KNEW IT!  I KNEW IT!  I KNEW IT!!!!

It is still too early to tell a few things such as gender (although, the babies do share a similar heart rate.  One which might indicate a specific gender, if I were inclined to share such information), or whether they might be fraternal or identical.

I’ve been very excited & chatty all morning long.  Now, I’m starting to realize the "holy crap" aspects involved in having twins.  Mostly, the "I don’t know what it is that I don’t know" about how to prepare and move forward with this news.

TBU and I are very excited.  Freaked out, but excited, to be sure.

I need to go do some research now.

[Andi], will you be my new best friend?  I’m in need of serious advice from a pro.

5 Things That Make Me Happy:

  1. Last night I felt the first flutter in my belly
  2. Both babies are healthy, tracking at the correct gestational size/weight, have healthy heart rates, and are moving around like crazy
  3. Gus is fully aware of & able to explain that there are 2 babies in mommy’s tummy
  4. Mattson, my darling baby boy.
  5. The look on TBU’s face when I surprised him with the info…priceless

This is great news! Boy will you have your hands full! You must tell us how you told TBU. I was going to suggest Andi but saw you are already reaching out to her. Do twins run in your family?

Sweet! There’s a twin group/club in my area. It’s more than just the cute side – providing sitters, help finding doctors, loaning cribs and highchairs, etc. I used to buy all my daughters’ clothes at the consignment shop – great stuff!

my mouth dropped open and stayed that way through the entire entry. so thrilled foryou, esp. in light of the c-section informatio you shared in the previous entry. i came away from the entry really sad at the idea that it might be possible the decision had been made for you regarding more births. now i’m wondering if God said, well, Here, two birds with one stone!

September 2, 2008

Wow, that is a surprise!!!! Congrats, this is so cool!!! 🙂

Holy 2-kids-in-the-womb, Batman! Way to double your kid count with one pregnancy. Congrats. Maybe they will be 2 girls so you have a good gender balance in the family.

well the heartrate thing…if it’s fast they say it could be a girl. So I’m betting that it’s TWO girls! Although, Jeremy’s was very fast too. LOL Congrats!

Welcome to the dark side, woman! It’s a crazy, crazy ride, you lucky thing you! It really does explain a lot about your pregnancy, though. We totally need to talk. LOL I’ll leave you a private note with my phone number and email. Oh yeah: congrats!!!

I just had to come back and say…this is so exciting!!! Congrats!

So how many weeks are you and when do we get to find out if they are girls or not? Pink times two, please! Well, if you’re only going to be able to do this one more time, you might as well get double your money. If you need girl clothes, I have a kabillion and need someone to give them to. I’ll even pay the shipping.

Oh duh, you’re 12 weeks. Forgive my frazzled, sleep deprived brain. We’re having massive teething over here.

September 3, 2008

Holy crap! Congrats! No wonder you feel so poopy & yurpy!

I am so excited and scared but mostly excited for you and you must be SO happy because you were JUST TALKING about wanting more than three- but because of the C Section it wouldnt be possible and you’d adopt and now TWINS. OMG. Do you read Fat Rey Slim? She has twins girls- they are 11 months right now.
