Expect the Unexpected

For the past few weeks I have been debating on whether or not we were going to find out the gender of this baby. There have been many people who have told me to wait because it creates a very exciting delivery. Yesterday was my ultrasound, as were walking into radiology I told Doug "I guess we should make up our mind." (Such a hard decision) Little did I know, that would be the least of my worries for the day.
As I lay on the table with jelly all over my belly the ultrasound tech asks me, "Do we want to know the gender of the baby if I am able to tell?" Finally I say "sure." She puts the tool on my belly and up pops a grainy black and white image of my uterus and baby. It took about three seconds when my heart dropped and I said, "I see two heads......or the baby's tummy is really far away from the head" To which the tech replied "No, no, oh, wait a minute, yep there are two heads."

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks with just one little baby. (see last post for proof)

From that moment on most of ultrasound is one big blur.
We laughed, we cried, then we continued to laugh and cry some more. The amount of emotions we felt in next hour is really indescribable. In the course of an hour we were; shocked, scared, excited, scared, overwhelmed, scared, happy, scared, amazed, and completely freaked out!

After we were able to think straight, we did see very clearly that we are going to be having TWO little baby GIRLS. Even still as I type this over twelve hours later my eyes fill with tears of emotion.

The babies heads are on opposite sides so it was hard to get a good picture of the two of them together.

I have a lot to learn in the next couple of months, I am taking a trip to library today. I feel like I could go on and on but, I will stop for today. Stay tuned for nore info, I am curious to see how my Dr. appointment goes on Wednesday since she will be finding out on Monday that I am having twins.

***From the beginning I had a feeling a was having twins. I was sooooo super tired and I would always say "There is no way I can be this tired pregnant, with just one baby!" When I had my first ultrasound (internal) at 12 weeks I asked the doctor to double check because I had a feeling it was twins. "Nope, there is just one in there." Boy is she in big trouble :) I can't really say I am mad that I just barely found out because it did save me over two months of worrying! This pregnancy has been different my other two. I have had; extreme fatigue, major heart burn, headaches, and already a feeling of a lot of pressure really low, and of course I can't forget to mention that I have been HIGHLY emotional. I feel like I can go on forever, but I will stop now. I hope the Lord know what he is doing, because I certainly don't.

To be surprised, or prepared???

I am having mixed feelings about finding out the gender of this baby. Since I already have a boy and a girl, all the pressure is off. I think it would a lot of fun to wait and be surprised in the delivery room when the baby is born. At the same time it makes me nervous to not know what I am having. Plus, we would have to decide on two names, and picking out one is hard enough!

However, everyone that I talk to that has not found out the gender tells me it is totally worth it. The suspense of not knowing is awesome. They say it makes the delivery so much more exciting.

My ultrasound is in 2 weeks so I need to make up my mind.

Any thoughts???

July Fun

Wow, I can't believe that July has come and gone and I haven't blogged about it once! We have had a lot of fun this month, trying to take in everything the summer has to offer. We have spent many days at splash parks, museums, parks, riding bikes, swimming and jumping on the tramp. Since it has been so long since my last post, this one it going to have a ton of pictures and not so many words.
