Yes, that's right folks: TWO! Yesterday (June 20) was our first ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days. It was beautiful and breathtaking seeing two little tiny persons with two big huge heartbeats. Baby A is buried in farther back so we couldn't hear it's heartbeat, but we say it pumping away like mad. Baby B's heart was heard loud and clear! Victor and I just sat there in awe for most of the time, not really saying anything. At the end, the Doctor says, "So, um, are you going to celebrate now?". We both just sat there staring at our perfect little ultrasound picture and said, "Er, maybe". IT'S STILL SCARY, MR. DOC, LEAVE US BE!
Our due date is February 8 but no one expects me to make it that far. The Doctor told us to expect anytime around Christmas. Normal twin gestational period is 35 weeks instead of the normal 40 for a singleton. I'm going to do whatever I can to keep these munchkins in for as long as possible. If I have to lay in bed and pee in a pan for 6 months, I'll do it! There is nothing more important than the health of these two and I will make every sacrifice known to man to assure their safety.
Check out my babes, yo's:
they have your eyes...
