Hello - If you are here from ICLW, feel free to read this post to start..
Well, here goes the ultrasound report..
But let me start at the beginning.
So yesterday, I was super super tired. I pretty much laid on the couch all day long. Then this morning, as we were leaving, I just wasn't feeling completely well. I wasn't feeling nauseous, like I needed to run to the bathroom, but just feeling not all that well.
Oh yeah, and yesterday I felt this same way. Like a little dizzy from time to time.
So, then this morning we got there, and could tell the doctor was behind. I was feeling so so tired and just not completely well.
Finally I heard my name. It was the Dr. Hugs coming to get me. So nice that it was the actual doctor. He hugged me as always and asked how i was feeling. I told him I wasn't so good, and he said, "we'll do your blood pressure and all your vitals after we do the ultrasound." They used to do my blood pressure every time, but now that i've got it under control with meds, they stopped checking it.
So i got undressed and he put the magic wand in. I glance up at the screen and knew instantly what i saw, even though i had never seen one before. Basically, the big black blob. When you are making eggs, it's a follicle. And when you are looking at the gestational sacs, it's a sac!
...and in my case, there were two!
and we even got to see two heartbeats!
I was beyond thrilled.. but even more scared.
So we checked my blood pressure and it was low. So, he told me to start cutting my pills and taking one half of the dose. I have no problem with that! I don't like taking it anyway, but i do faithfully.
So, that's it! TWINS!! One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly.
To put it mildly, for me and Carlos, it was love at first sight.

I am beyond thrilled for you guys. I can't stop smiling. Congratulations!
How exciting Gabby!! I hope you get less light-headed with the pill change and everything else goes according to a normal twins pregnancy.
Continued peace to you and your pregnancy!
And I want you to know I haven't forgotten about the one lovely blog award...I am just in a major funk. I am discovering new blogs to share the award with when I get outta this haze though.
Be well!
Hooray! You may need to reconsider the car purchase. ;) We think a normal car is fine, but lots of other twin parents I know swear that you need a minivan.
Regarding the prior post, I think the scheduler may have asked if you wanted to keep the baby because of the whispering. At least, I hope that's why, and it's not her standard question to all pregnant women.
Did I mention hooray?!?
That is so incredibly fantastic!!!! Congratulations!!!
squeeeeeeeeeal!
TWINS? Yea! So, so happy for all 4 of you.
HURRAH!
