not a big suprise

Me and my husband had just moved to Murray in March of 2005 and I starting feeling sick. But then he got sick so I didn’t think much about it. But it got worse - I was sick all day everyday and all I did was lay in bed I could barely eat. It lasted for 4 months straight. So we made a trip back home around mother’s day and took a test and it was positive. So I went to the Dr. at 5 months and we got an ultrasound and saw two babies and the big surprise was they were identical girls.

Twins run on his side; he was a twin too. It was easy for me. I only gained 40 pounds and had them at full term on November 9 2005. I planned a c-section because I didn’t want something to go wrong the other way. The needle is the worst though. The nurse missed and had to do it again in the other arm. That really hurt. They weighed 6 pounds and 6.4 pounds.

Before the babies I weighed 105 and gained got up to 146 but now I've lost most – I only weigh 115. Didn’t get a lot of sleep for a while and now they are 13 months old and walk and talk and they can drive you crazy sometimes. But they are still fun.

Me and my husband got married on June 3 2006 now I'm almost 21 and I think this will be the last.

first twins in the family

I'm thirty-nine yrs old pregnant with twins girl due in Feb '07. This is my fourth pregnancy and so far I am the first woman in my family to have twins. I do not know of any twins being born on either side of my family however it was rumored my dad’s side had twins.

I did not find out I was having twins until I was about fourteen weeks pregnant but had a feeling something was different about this pregnancy because I was showing so early. I was getting sick & tired of people asking me "So when are you due?" as if I was some freak of nature, until I got a more sophisticated ultrasound (the first u/s machine was outdated by twenty yrs & didn't pick up twins) and the first thing my husband & I saw were two heads come on the screen.

Our first reaction was to laugh, as we were happily shocked. It’s still a surprise for us and we feel so blessed. I do not know what to expect once the twins get here but I'm sure it will be a labor of love. They already have two big sisters and a big brother who already love them and are awaiting their arrival.

Well, at least my girls are happy but my two yr old son thinks they'll be here for a visit. He doesn't know they'll be actually living with us for awhile :o)

surprise! it's TWO!

Today I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My doctor sent me for an early sonogram to make sure everything was ok with me; I’m 34 and asthmatic. As the technician was doing the scan, he kept swooping over something, had to call his associate over, and my fiancé and I saw both A and B and heard their little heartbeats.

This is my first pregnancy! We are thrilled and terrified!!! At least now I don’t feel so bad for having to unbutton my pants already!

Double Trouble

I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins and loving it. Although my fiancé Luke is still living with his ex girlfriend and his 5-year-old triplet girls (born when they were high school seniors), he still finds time each day to pat my stomach, come for dinner, or doctor’s appointments.

My family was a little shocked that first off I was pregnant with the babies of a man who stays in the same house as his ex-girlfriend, and not my husband – although we are soon to be since we are engaged – and, although I am an employed nurse, he is not. The twins were not much of a shock since Luke is a triplet, and he has triplet girls already. Also, I am a twin, and so is my mother. I guess it runs in our blood.

It has started getting painful to be alone in my house at night and look at my very fat stomach. Then I realize these bundles of joy will soon make my house less lonely. I have had some back pain off and on but the doctor says it’s nothing to worry about. My life just now has gotten a little better, as my fiancé has just called to say he got a job and is moving in with me later this week. My life is definitely not a happy ending but the wedding is in 1 month, the babies are due in 10 weeks, and I am pretty happy.

Good luck to all!

Twins?

I just found out last week that I'm pregnant (number two). I had a little nausea and a lot of bloating. I estimated I should be approximately 6 weeks along. I had an ultrasound earlier this week and they saw one sac and thought they saw possibly another, although they couldn't find it again. Both the doctor and the woman who did the ultrasound were trying to play it down. I don't know if they were doing this for my benefit or because this is common.

They said the embryo they did see was very small and they thought my dates could be off although I'm sure of when the baby was conceived. I need to go back in two weeks for another ultrasound. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the next few weeks.
