Mama how did your scan go? Sorry you had so much worry at the weekend

 

[HappyCpl]

Hope all went well mamma

Hey guys,

Sorry I didn't update yesterday. Was a crazy day!

Ultrasound went great...we're having TWINS!!!!

We weren't shocked because my hcg levels made us think it was a possibility but it was still crazy to have the suspicions confirmed!

My only complaint is they didn't give me a scan photo! Apparently I have to ask as they do the scan which I didn't know. I assumed they did it automatically. What mom doesn't want the photo! Lame. Do that totally bummed me out but the doc assured me I'll get another chance soon. I imagine you get a few extra scans with twins.

DH and I are thrilled and a bit overwhelmed! But mostly we're just very happy! And now I've got two little beans to worry about! Can't wait to see them again!!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Omg mama congratulations, twins?? What a blessing, I'm so pleased for you, you really deserve it! Its very overwhelming isn't it when your told your expecting 2? I was thrilled but petrified at the same time! measuring on target for your dates and assuming you saw heartbeats? I didn't start feeling sick until about 7 weeks at the start when our twins where both doing well! Well done mama xx

 

[MamaMac123]

Yeah I'm super excited but also very stressed out and worried. Of course what happened with your little one Issac is heavy on my mind. I just hope we get both of them here safe and healthy.

They are measuring 5 1/2 weeks. I thought 6 so pretty close. They didn't mention heartbeats. May have been too soon. Doc said we wouldn't hear the heartbeats till about 10 weeks. Hopefully next apt.

Mama I only have 2 seconds to reply - OMG I cannot believe it - Twins. so so so so happy for you. Have to run and I'll talk to you soon. Thrilled of you!!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Yeah 5 and a half weeks was probably a bit too early to see a little heartbeat! It's like the tiniest little flicker! They're like a few millimetres big, Awww. Can't wait to see some pics! I'm assuming they're unidentical twins with separate sacs etc?? If they are this reduces the risks quite a bit! Yeah you'll have a great deal to get your head around but try and keep level headed as your right you do have 2 little beans and it's very early days. I don't think you'll have a problem for one minute though! So bloody excited for you xx

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama how exciting! I'm so happy for you!!!! You have waited so long and now 2!!!! I can see where that would be overwhelming, but congrats hun! When do you go back?

 

[MamaMac123]

Yes they are two separate sacs. I see the midwives on April 1st and see my doc again on the second. Going to stick with both for now and see what the midwives think of twins. Hoping it will still be fine.

so excited!!!!

 

[HappyCpl]

Oh mama, I just can't get over this excitement. Praying for both of your little ones

 

[banana07]

Hey Mama

Same as Happy, I just cannot get over this excitement. Makes me think of when DH kept saying to me while ttc that god was waiting for an extra special baby for us and I thought the same for you and look he was right, God was waiting to give you an extra special treat.

Beyond happy for you. I would have been overwhelmed but delighted to have been told I had two I suppose I always thought I would be on my 3rd by now so it would be just been like catching up on time!

I know what happened to poor issac little bean will weigh on your mind of course its only normal but the chance of the same happening to you is very slim I imagine. For now I guess its just sit tight and keep praying!

Have you told many yet?

Afm, am doing good, bought 2 car seats yesterday, I was going to wait until week 20 scan but they were on sale 1/2 price with really good reviews. Have my eye on a few other bits but don't want to go mad just a few bits here and there between now and August.

I think my bump has got smaller, I came into work on Monday and everyone said I was starting to show and on Tuesday for the first time someone asked me was I expecting so it must have been pretty obvious I don't think many people would take that risk asking otherwise. I should have told him no that I'm just prone to bloat!!

Got maternity clothes day before yesterday but I think the same thing is happening as with DS I can feel myself going in everywhere and today I can barely notice my bump only a little low down and I can feel myself going in everywhere else like ribs and face, I could easily have ate a few too many pies and one of the girls told me I was very neat.

So I don't know, have to try on bm dresses now for SIL should be awful now with my belly but anyway better run before I'm late have to be there in 20mins.

How are you issac/happy???

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks guys!

We've told most of our closest family and friends who we'd already told about the pregnancy. We've got out Facebook announcement figured out. Just need to make it now. Hopefully will announce in the next few days. It's still early of course but knowing myself and how easily I worry I'm trying to consciously make the effort to assume the best instead of the worst. I just want to enjoy this time and trust that whatever happens is how it needs to be. And for now I want to trust all is fine and will be great and we will have 2 babies by Halloween!

Banana I hope the BM dress shopping goes okay. Go empire waist so you have extra room to grow that bump!

 

[Shey]

Hope you lovely ladies are doing well.

 

[ooSweetPea]

Mama OMG just read the news and so thrilled for you! Two! Two babies!

We need to start seeing some bump pics in here ladies, ahem!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

I don't have much of a bump yet haha just my regular fatty self lol but tonight hubby and I are working on our Facebook announcement so I will post that soon

 

[HappyCpl]

Hubby has been taking monthly pics with our camera but this is the first I've taken on my phone. Lol. 32+4. It's getting close. We should know our csection date in about 4 weeks. I feel like she has dropped some today. But I know she can unengage. Today is one of those dad it feels like her head is between my legs for sure and it's harder to walk. I'm back to going potty several times during the night and since I have a desk job by the end of the day my ankles are pitiful. Lol. She has less room to move and it's pretty cool watching her squirm. You can actually SEE when she has he hiccups. Mama, it's the coolest! Lol.

Wow, twins...that's awesome and you deserve them after all that hard work! Nice announcement by the way!

Love the bump pic Happy!

afm- We're all great here. Cooper is getting so big and his daddy and sissy love him like crazy! Life couldn't be better

 

[elt1013]

oh and banana, I'm sure your bump isn't smaller. I know certain things I would wear made it look like it had shrunk, but it was still there.

Isaac- Hope all is well
