It Was The Shock of Our Lives!

Friday we went in for our routine ultra sound to find out the sex of our baby. You can imagine our reaction when the ultra sound tech looked at us and asked us if we knew there were 2 in there? Um what now? I looked at Tyler who looked like he may pass out and I felt like I may throw up right there on the bed. Jackson said "awesome" and Olivia doesn't even know what's coming her way. My mom is in town and was able to witness this crazy moment---I just remember her cheering and clapping her hands, oh Grandmas.
There have been tears, laughs, happiness, fear, disbelief and more tears over the past 24 hours. Seriously can I handle twins!?! I honestly think Heavenly Father knew I couldn't go through pregnancy again :). But we are very excited and grateful. Now that we know there are 2 little ones so many things are coming together---the ridiculous sickness, my already large tummy, already feeling like I have no room in there after each meal, and Tyler always feeling like this pregnancy was twins. Next Monday I'll meet with my doctor so I should have some more details about these little ones.

Two little heads.
One little baby girl.
And one little baby boy. Yep that's right a girl and a boy.
I never thought I would ever be having twins, I have many moments throughout the day where I'm still in disbelief. But then there's those moments where I'm so very excited.
If your wondering if I'm done having kids----you bet I am :)

You are going to be so awesome with them. Heavenly Father definitely knows who you are and what you can handle. Such a comfort to know! I really am so excited for you and hope it goes great these last months. Wish I could come help you, maybe I will when they are born! Love you guys!

WOHOO!!! I am totally jealous...I wish we were having twins and could be done. I guess I have to have my kids one at a time. Congrats friend, we are very excited for you.

Unknown said...

congrats again! What a crazy surprise! I still just can't believe they caught it this late. Shouldn't they be able to tell from the heartbeat(s) at the appointment every month? anyway...i'm no doctor. Can't wait to see those cute babes. they will be gorgeous/handsome just like the other 2 I am sure!
