big news



we found out some shocking but exciting news on thursday. i went in for a nuchal translucency sonogram on thursday and they found not one, but 2 babies. i'm 12 weeks along and both babies are looking healthy so far. we are very nervous about all that comes with twins but are excited for 2 new little babies to join our family. we must have agreed to have 5 kids in the pre existence, but HF knew the only way to make that happen was to throw in an extra with our last pregnancy!

the most common reaction: what!!??!!?!?

most commom questions

do twins run in the family: no
do you live by family: no
what kind of twins: fraternal
do you know the sex: one looks to be a boy (not 100%) the other was very shy but we still have lots of time
have you been sick: yes, very. but even more so i've been exhausted. 2 naps a day. just taking a shower tires me out
when are you due: june 13th, but will most likely be may
what about preeclampsia: since i've had it with my other pregnancies, i will almost for sure get it. hopefully it wont show up until close to then end.
