Life With Twins

Here I was, so excited to be pregnant after our miscarriage, sitting in the doctor's office with my husband waiting for our first ultrasound.  I was just hoping that it would be a viable pregnancy and that I wouldn't be too sick.  My nerves were on overdrive!

My doctor starts the ultrasound and shows us the heartbeat, it just looked like a little blob that was beating.  She moves the transducer just a little bit, and says "And here's the other heartbeat".  What??!! Other heartbeat?  What the hell does that mean?  "Congrats, you're going to have twins!"  Oh no, no way, not me!  I start to freak out while my husband just sits there grinning, he's so excited!  Of course he is, he doesn't have to be the size of a house, nor does he have to worry about how in the HELL am I going to give birth to 2 children at one time!  I'm only 5 ft. 3 in, and I have no torso to hold them in!

Fast forward 4 1/2 years, and here we are!  We have beautiful girls that can frustrate and amaze you all at the same time.  How do they do it?  Both talking at the same time and wanting your full attention all at once to the point your ready for that 5 o'clock somewhere glass of wine by 9 AM, and then turn around and be the sweetest little cuddlers on the planet!

I'm here to share my story with you, to let you know that you're not alone.  It's not always like those shows on TLC, sweet and lovey-dovey, and it's not always a horror show.  It's somewhere in between, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
