It's TWINS!!!!!!

Yep! That's right people. TWINS. I am 8-weeks PREGO!

I have not blogged in a while as I have been in a period of panic the last few weeks. Panic because I found out we were pregnant and then because I had a small complication. I had a sub-chronic bleed in my uterus. It sounds bad... it seems to happen to a lot of people. Dr. Denker put me on bed rest for two-weeks, feet up!! I only got up to potty and shower. The first week was okay... the second week was brutal. Bed rest is not all that great - LOL.

I have several ultrasounds during that time and found that there are twins. The bleed stopped but is still in there slowly leaking out. So I am taking it very easy. The bleed has not affected the babies. Baby A is very strong and doing well. Baby B has struggled. It had delayed implantation and now the yolk sac is measuring enlarged. SO there is a chance Baby B will not make it. My body will just absorb the baby and it will not affect Baby A. It's all in God's hands now so I am just doing everything Dr. Denker says and hopefully all will be GREAT!

I am still on my Progesterone shots and Estrogen patches, prenatals and some Magnesium-Oxide for the old bleed.

I will say this... I am doing GOOD! I am thrilled the bleed stopped and Baby A and B are growing. It's sad about Baby B but there is nothing I can do. I just have to take care of us and see what happens.

I was release for light work duty and this week is my first week back.
THANK GOODNESS!
I read two novels while on bed rest - Twilight series - yes I am obsessed!

Phil is doing GREAT. He is so optimistic about everything.
These early weeks are always scary for all pregnant women. You are wondering if the babies will make it, get through that first trimester, worrying is always happening... it's tough.

We heard both babies heart beats last week. It was unexplainable. My sister told me when I got married... right before I walked down the isle... she said, "this will be an amazing day but know you have days that will surpass this fay by leaps and bounds!" Boy was she right... I thought if that when I heard those hearts... I swear my heart literally changed.

I am praying and hoping that all works out and we have the family we always dreamed of. Keep us in your thoughts and I will update you this weekend as my next appointment is Friday. I know all will be well and we will be moving forward.

Thanks for sharing this with me and thanks for your thoughts!
