3-29-2013: 6:15 AM I decided to get up for a bathroom run and hopefully head back to bed since it was Saturday! I had a suspicion I was pregnant and the night before we had stopped to get a test on the way home from a family event. I took the test and waited the longest 5 minutes of my life to look at it!
6-3-2013: I had a dream (nightmare) that I was pregnant with Triplets. The spousal unit was out of town for work and when I jokingly told him about the dream he told me to wait until after he was off work the next day to call him unless it was really triplets!
6-4-2013: I went in for my first ultrasound. I informed the doctor of my dream (nightmare) from the night before and he laughed when I told him to check and make sure there was just one! He then told me "You see this black area here?" I responded "Yes it looks like the top of another sack." He then said, "yes that's what I think it is too, I'm going to recommend you go for a more sensitive ultrasound within the next week." Needless to say the spousal unit was shocked when I called him in the middle of his work day!
6-11-2013: The spousal unit and I get up and head in for the "more sensitive ultrasound" really thinking the doctor was just covering his butt. The technician only had the probe on me for 2 seconds before she smiled really big and said, "congrats dad it's twins!" We were both shocked and silent!
8-6-2013: We discovered these identical beings inside of me were indeed boys!
12-7-2013: 36 Weeks! I had been told "if you make it to 36 weeks we'll most likely take the boys then because that's really good for identical twins." Sadly this was a Saturday so I hosted a Christmas Party!
*Note the HUGE baby mountain!*
12-9-2013: 4 AM I'm awake and getting ready to head to the hospital!
5:15 AM We are at the hospital in the triage room starting the prep for my C-Section
5:30ish AM They start the IV and I almost pass out!
7:15 AM Here we go!
7:50 AM Child Unit 1 was born
7:51 AM Child Unit 2 was born
8:00 AM I was crying because they were so cute!
The rest of the day is a blur of joy/exhaustion/and carpal tunnel pain from the excess fluids they put in through the IV!
As I sit here 2 months later I am thinking:
"IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 MONTHS!"
"What did we do before them?"
"They really are the cutest boys EVER!"
Stay tuned for the ups and downs of my attempts through motherhood and trying to keep with my "normal" life!
