When I had my ultrasound the tech just started laughing. I saw two black sacs and knew something was wrong. She laughed even harder. She then got it in the screen where I could see two heart beats. I then asked if that is two babies or what? Laughing she said yep its two! Congratulations. I was in serious shock.
When Dennis called to see how my appointment was going I kept saying fine but he knew better, he kept asking and I kept saying everything was fine. There was no way I could tell him over the phone. So I showed up where he was working. He was on a lift so I held up the ultrasound and without me saying anything he made a two sign on his hand. He did not say anything or even move so I got in my car and had my first breakdown. I thought he was not coming so I was going to head home. luckily he came down and gave me a hug but did not say much.
I have decided to make a list of the Good with twins and try and concentrate on that....
1 pregnancy and I get two babies
I am done being pregnant after this
Audrey can have her very own baby to hold a lot more often than she is going to want to!
Having twins will be an experience like no other
I have twin sisters so at least I am a little prepared.
Some things that scare me right now
I have gained 7 pounds and I am only 8 weeks.
We now have to buy two of everything.
When both babies are crying who do you tend to first?
With nursing both babies how do you get any sleep?
Anytime Audrey gets near a crying baby she covers her ears and starts yelling for someone to make the baby stop crying.... (Oh Man)
I think I need to get Audreys baby clothes out and maybe that will help my mood.
Right now I am so tired and sick, I am throwing up but not like Audrey. I am really mean though I am trying not to be. Dennis is the one that gets most of my mean streak. Sorry hun. I already feel huge and worry about gaining as much weight as I am suppose to with twins. The Doctor said he would like to see me gain 50 pounds! Yikes. I tend to get happy about having two babies until I think about the financial side of things.....

1.You and Dennis are going to make great parents that is why these two babies picked you.
2.Audrey will be a wonderful big sister.
3.You guys make cute kids.
4.You don't have to buy two of everything because you will have baby showers and get hand me downs and get everything you need! (Law of attraction)
5.You guys are doing what the Lord has asked you to do and will bless you more than you currently know to be able to provide for your family.
6. As for worries for feedings (just do bottles, so Dennis and Audrey can help. When we come to visit, I'll bring you my pump to borrow!)
Love you guys!!
You can do it Crystal. Reading your post almost made ME cry because I was overwhelmed for you!!! (Probably my pregnancy hormones kicking in...hehe). I'm sure the first year will be a total blur of feeding and diaper changing, but when that passes it should get better. I am sure there are SO many people that will come and help take care of those babies so you will get some rest. I'm glad you are doing better than with Audrey :)
I know exactly what you are feeling right now! I'd love to talk to you and share my experience with you. You can get my number from Jaime. Congratulations! Your life will never be the same. And I mean that in a good way!
You are amazing! So is your rockin' bod! I gained 85 lbs with Ashton. He was only 1 baby... anyway, it is slowly coming off. I'm less than 10 lbs away from pre-baby weight. So don't worry, it will come off. You are a hard worker!
