In the mist of the news, I forgot some things….
So when I wrote about my ultrasound I just told you all the most important thing. That there are 2 instead of one. I left out some rather important things, so I am going to put them in this entry.
There were 2 heart beats. The technician was about to pick it up and both of there heartbeats are 155bpm. We also have a length. They’re about 1.16cm long…which makes them not bigger than a grain of rice. The way they looked on the ultrasound, it looks like they are NOT fused together. There are 2 seperate sacks which makes me happy. Twin A is a little more to the right and Twin B is a little more to the left. They’re right next to each other, but seperated which makes my heart happy. I go back to the doctor on Thursday and they are going to do the whole examination. What the hell am I going to expect that day? This is going to be my first ‘prenatal’ exam and I have no clue what to expect…a little help?
When I seen that the babies had a better heart beat than the first one [the first on only had a heart beat of only 71bpm] I was so happy. I’m also 8 weeks along which means 3 weeks longer than the first. I’m starting to lighten up a little and enjoy the fact that not only am I pregnant, I am being blessed with 2.
Pat is still in the “holy shit” phase. After I got off the phone with him on Friday, seeing that I called him at work and dropped the news on him there, he ran through the factory over to where his mother was and told her. By the end of Friday night everyone knew that Pat and I are having twins. I got home that night, came in the door, Pat stood up, I walked to him and he gave me the biggest hug I have had from him in a long time. I do believe I seen a couple of tears. Our set of twins are the first on both his mothers and fathers side, the 2nd set on my dad’s side and the first on my moms. He’s rather proud of himself. It’s also so great to see that he does have emotional feelings. At time I don’t have any clue in what he’s feeling at all, but when he shows it I can’t help but be in love with him. When I go to bed at night he kisses me and tells me good night and then puts his hand on my tummy and tells the babies night. And when we aren’t with each other he says to me to be safe and to get the babies safe. He’s going to be a good dad.
On another subject…I called off my wedding in May. Even though it hurt to do so I had to do it. It just felt like we weren’t getting married for the right reasons. His mother, oh lord, I swear that woman is going to put me in an earlier grave than my unborn children will. Anyways, I was folding laundry Saturday night and she comes out and says “you know what you guys should do, you guys should go in front of a JP and get married.” I flew outta the laundry room and asked why we had to get married right away, and that was when I said I couldn’t get married for 4 reasons.
In the beginning all Pat and I were doing was talking about it. Then it got pushed and it was almost like it was going to be a shot-gun wedding and I refuse to do that. So I told him give me 1.5-2 years, after the kids are old enough to participate then we’ll get married. Even though I know he was hurt because if we had it his way, him and I would’ve been married yesterday, I just had to postpone it. Pat says as long as we do end up married he doesn’t care when. I’m just happy he was understanding.
Well I am going to go for now. Until next time…toodles!!

I still can’t believe it’s twins. I’m so excited for you. =) Yeah, I’m getting excited. Sometimes 9 weeks seems like it’s not very long, but others it seems like I still have FOREVER to go. I really wish it’d go by faster. ♥

I had twins too. And I found out early like you did. You are doing the RIGHT thing. Don’t get married just because you are pregnant. You and Pat will be connected now forever because of your wonderful babies. There will always be time to get married. You are right for not listening to his mother. Again, you are right for putting your foot down about her being there and her overbearing existance in your relationship.

When I was pregnant my bf’s mom was on the same warpath. I refused to get married just because I was pregnant, it just seemed like we were taking that step for all the wrong reasons. I can relate 🙂 Have a Merry Christmas!

I added you! 🙂 Yeah, the wedding planning is going okay, I think I’m on track as far as the planning goes, but I wouldn’t be anywhere without the help of my mom! Once we get to the new year, it will be much easier to think about that. Christmas time is so crazy!

RYN: I wasnt trying to make you feel like a bad person, is that how you feel? Like a bad person? Maybe you should, and an extremely selfish one too. Did you ever think that your miscarriage could have been a sign that you are NOT meant to be pregnant right now? I dont think the miscarriage meant “Oh, try again!” No. I guess my note was really bitchy, for that I apologize. It just makes mesad sometimes. I have alot of friends who were teen parents who have gone through and are going through hell. Yes, I wish the best for you and your family. I still find it a little bit sad though. So, yeah.. I was just in a bitchy mood this morning too. Im sure you know what its like. I guess it wasnt very nice of me to leave that note. I just hope that you can give your children the world, they deserve it. All children do. umm.. thats all….. =/

Saw your announcement on the front page. I had a similar experience last January… DH and I got pregnant on our honeymoon, but miscarried at 9.5 weeks. We got pregnant again around last Thanksgiving and were allowed an early ultrasound right after New Year’s. That’s when we first “saw” our boys. Twins are a lot of work, but they are a lot of fun too. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Oh how exciting, you requested me to add you!!: ) I just DID!! 🙂 I am keeping my notes on public diaries private, cuz 2 nasty women created a diary war with me a while back, and then, I mysteriously got 3 diaries deleted & even lost someone money for a gift subscription.
