news that has been nauseating and exciting all at the same time!
news that we have waited for....
news that is life changing...
news that prevents leading normal everyday life....
Yep...
we are expecting baby #2...
Found out for Father's day.
Told our friends and family when I was about 7 weeks because i was so deathly sick...
Everythign continued and i was just waiting for my first Prenatal visit...which was last Thursday...July 28th.
Justin didn;t get to go because of work and we expected nothing but routine stuff.
Plus I have been feeling better most days...and only the worst in the evening hours. I had managed to still run 2-3 times a week, up until that past two weeks and that was due to just too many things going on plus sickness when I wasn't running....
So I go for US before the visit....only to be fully surprised by the fact that........
IT IS TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I handled the news good initially. I told my totally shocked husband...who was sort of prepared as he had commented recently that he thought that was why I was so sick.....but never in a million years did I think it was possible....I mean...other people have twins...not me! HA!
Well, it is so and I am almost 11 weeks(tomorrow is 11) with our 'SECOND' child.....just so happens it is going to be a 2 for 1!!!!!!!
Everyone is buzzing. Literally I never knew that anyone cared about my happenings....andI cannot go anywhere....church, hardware, grocery, gas station, local car lot.....in a matter of 48 hours....I think the whole world of our little town and beyond had heard....WOW!
Anyway, first absorbing and telling everyone I did ok....but by 24 hours in....reality of what we were about to endure hit. I am not naive when it comes to knowing what can go wrong with labor and delivery and pregnancy of twins. Six years as a labor and delivery nurse....taught me all too well...WHAT TO BE AFRAID OF....and every bit of it sunk in and i cried and i cried and I cried Friday until i could not get myself together....
Saturday I awoke with...well, it is what it is. God doesn't make mistakes....and he gave us this blessing because he believes that we are up to the challenge.....so I had to get my BIG girl panties on and start preparing for what needs to be done....and that is....
PREPARING for TWO bundles of joy and taking excellent care of myself and keep these babies healthy.
So Saturday....I got up ate, researched double strollers, and did what all mothers who just found out they were expecting twins would do....
I hit the TREADMILL....for a slow....easy...but great sweat for 30 minutes of running. Last run was a week before and was 25 minutes. I set out to do 15....if my body allowed....it felt great, babies were good. breathing was good....heart was good....so I kept going and at 10 1/2 weeks for our twins.....I ran a 12 minute mile for 30 minutes and got off with a whole new attitude.....
Yes it will be hard
Yes I will likely cry a lot more
yes I will likely mourn the loss of my 'life' as I know it
yes I will be blessed beyond measure
And YES we will survive it!
So there you have it.....TWINS! Coming soon...February 2012!!!!!!
