Tiny Miracles ♥

We are having TWINS!!!!!!!

I had my first prenatal visit today. Tyler was making jokes to the doctor about how tired I have been this pregnancy. Then she was going over part of my medical history paperwork and was asking if twins are in the family....uh yes we have several! I just wrote 'I'm a twin' because I didn't feel like writing it all in...So... I have a twin sister, my twin sister had twin girls, my great aunt and uncle are twins {my Moms Moms brother & sister}, Tyler's great uncles are twins {Tyler's Dad's Mom's brothers}, Tyler's Dad's Mom's sister had twin boys, Tyler's Grandpa Rees had twin a brother & sister {died at 4 weeks with whooping cough}, Tyler's Dad has a twin brother, Tylers brother had twin girls, and his sister had twin boys. They are everywhere. On both sides of the family. And all of them without any fertility. I have always wanted twins since I was a little girl. Lots of women dream about having twins, but for me it was something that I felt like I was destined for! I want to have twins that have what me and Sherry have. I have just been waiting for my turn! The OB was doing the exam and said my uterus is abnormally large for 9 weeks. She asked how sure I was about my last mentrual date. 100% sure. So either I had a cycle while I was pregnant and am really more like 12 weeks or there's more than one baby in there. She said we probably wouldn't find a heartbeat if I was only 9 weeks so she said just for fun let's listen. My heart stopped. The last time I did this it ended in a nightmare. She moved around my abdomen and listened and found it!! Such a beautiful sound! She thought for sure I was further along than I thought. Which kind of made sense to me. I decided to take the 5 day early prenancy test because I was already feeling nauseous. But I have never been sick that early. So if I was really more like 7 weeks when I took the test instead of 3 that would make sense. And I already can't button my jeans. I've been telling Tyler I feel like my body jumped right to where I left off with baby Angel. Right when I found out I felt like I was 3 months pregnant. So she sent me to a specialist right away to get an ultrasound. I tried not to get my hopes too high. Either I just skipped 4 weeks of pregnancy which is also good news, or there are twins in there! The doctor was actually the same specialist that confirmed no heartbeat almost a year ago. We were actually in the exact same room and bed. I was so very nervous. As soon as the specialist put the wand on my belly the picture looked unusual. 2 black spaces instead of one. I said "No way! Are you serious!?" She laughed and said "Yup there's Twin A and Twin B!!!"  She said we are just making up for last year. I couldn't stop crying and giggling! Tyler was so sweet and giggled with me and said we finally did it! She let us listen to the heartbeats again. Twin A was very active wiggling around. Twin B was bigger and more chill.  I have wanted this ultrasound picture that says Twin A & B forever! So cute!! I talked to my Mom and Sherry first and we cried and squealed together! So very happy tears!! My mom joked that she would move in with me since Tyler works nights :) I have the best Mom! Seriously how can me and Sherry both have twins!?? So fun!! I still can't believe it! It feels like a dream! I am so grateful for this amazing miracle! Such a sweet and tender blessing at this time for our family! What a perfect ending to our family! We will have 6 kids!! What the!? CRAZY! Or the kids like to include Angel so they say 7 :) We came straight home and told the kids. They are super excited and trying to come up with names like Lily and Billy :) They are trying to figure out where they will fit in the car and in our already crowded house! Haha! We will make it work! Yay!!! So I am still 9 1/2 weeks. Due date is January 19th. They explained how I am still in the really fragile risky weeks. Which scares me to death. I have heard evey twin story in the book. I'm sure I will be holding my breath til they are in my arms! I am just trying to stay positive and do whatever I can to grow healthy babies!!  I absolutely can't wait to find out their genders!! I already know they are fraternal. They each have their own sac and placenta. Which decreases some risks so that's good! But that means it could be a boy and girl! So cute! Squeeeee!!! YAY!!!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!! I am soooooo excited!!!!!
