Nikki-You could not have posted that website at a better time! lol

I think DW is freaking out a bit. I'm actually pretty calm about it. So here is the exact story.
We had our tarot card reading in January from DW's sister-in-law's cousin. She did a timeline for me and said pregnancy in September. There were these two little girls, so she said maybe twin girls. Big change in May, so possibly when they were born. She did DW's timeline and same thing for Sept and then the same two little girls popped up.

So, this entire time I've been joking about "the beans" just to get a rise out of her. I told her I was going to pay them to say it was twins. lol So we youtubed twin ultrasounds so we'd know what to look for. I kind of thought it might be twins just bc my pants have been SO tight and got that way so quickly, but yet didn't really think so...

So we get there and literally it was just for the u/s. She did the stomach one first and in seconds I saw two black circles...the u/s tech was like, "do you see what I'm seeing?" and we were both like, "there's two????" lol DW freaked out a little, shaking and crying. I was pretty calm, like I told you! lol

We are very excited! A little freaked bc we know we aren't going to sleep for years though lol I'm not sure I'm prepared to get that huge either! lol

I can't wait to find out what they are for sure. The tarot card reader has been right so far, so they will probably both be girls! lol I'll have to let her know that she may have some clients! I don't think she even does it for a living, it's just something she does on the side for fun.

 

[clynn11]

I've got paypal hahahaha seriously though if they are both girls I am totally sold! So amazing! You need to find a ticker for twins!!!!! lol

 

[clynn11]

lilypie.com has twin options for tickers

 

[MrsAmk]

Congratulations Julie!! Did you have your beta drawn when you found out you were pregnant? If so, what were the numbers? I'm a little scared I might have twins....

 

[jury3]

Yeah we want 4, so we are half way there! lol I know, I'll have to look up twin tickers when I get home tonight.
Molly, my hcg a little more than doubled from 14dpo to 16dpo, exactly 48 hours. DW was like, "it only doubled, that means it's probably not twins right?" lol I was like, well, i think sometimes it takes a little bit before they start to increase alot...so you never know!

14dpo-164
16dpo-338

 

[clynn11]

I think like they always say, hCG varies so much it's impossible to guess twins or not with it. Some people's numbers rise crazy fast with only one babe, julie's seemed pretty in the norm and there's TWO!!! Craziness.

 

[MrsAmk]

Jeebus, mine was 110 at 12dpo and 454 at 14dpo.

Do you girls think it's bad if I skip my prenatal for one night?? I'm having a hard time keeping dinner in and I think that'll push me over the edge

 

[jury3]

I don't think one night would hurt anything. If you are feeling better later, you could try to take it then. I wouldn't stress yourself over missing it though.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Thanks Julie, I figured keeping the food in is probably more important anyway but even that might not happen. I think I'm dehydrated, I went for two walks today. I'm a boob.

 

[jury3]

Lol a boob. Yeah, I've been struggling to eat healthy, eat at all, and drink enough fluids...it's so hard when you feel like throwing up all the time!

 

[wavescrash]

Julie... I'm still in shock for you lol. How crazy but so exciting! Have you told your family or the donor yet?? I'm curious to know their reaction (the donor's especially!)

 

[jury3]

Lol yeah we told them. All DW's mom can talk about is the negative...money, money, money and "you're going to go into labor early" "you might be on bed rest" blah blah..She's excited but has a difficult time showing it bc she worries. My mom is super excited! The donor has laughed several times. He can't believe it lol We've all joked about it so much it's just crazy it came true!

 

[wavescrash]

Well if she's excited then she's obviously just coming from a place of worrying about you guys and the babies which is sweet but I'm sure not what you wanted to hear lol.

That's so funny!!
