April 19th we found our we where expecting again... I couldn't believe.
My sweet girl had just turned 6 months old. How could I possibly be pregnant again.
I had a doctors visit back in February after skipping two back to back periods. My doctor told me I needed to look into a hormone specialist because it looked like my hormones and body weren't functioning. She tolds us we should brace ourselves because the odds of getting pregnant again in the future where not looking good.
Me and Chris knew we wanted one more so hearing that news was like a blow to the chest.
As soon as we walked into the lobby I broke down in tears. Not just because we wouldn't be pregnant again but because my body was going through so much and I could tell.
When March came around I started to feel even worse. My hair was falling out and I had rapidly gained weight even though I wasn't eating unhealthy and had cut out cokes and fast food and had started working out. I knew something just wasn't right. I should have listen to my body. By April I could barely stay awake. I couldn't keep any food down. I felt almost like I was pregnant again. So back to the doctors we went to get my hormones levels checked again.
I had blood work done and some labs ran. When she came back with the lab work she asked me to go straight to ultrasound. By this point I was freaking out.
Once we got to ultrasound she confirmed I was pregnant again. I was floored. I was so emotional. I was just told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant again without the hormone therapy but here I was looking at our newest addition on the monitor! Everything looked great and they told us to come back in May for another ultrasound.
As the weeks rolled on I could not stay awake. It was like nothing I had ever experienced. I felt like I had narcolepsy. It was so bad that I couldn't drive at night because I would get so sleepy. My body hurt all the time. And the naseaua was overwhelming. I couldn't keep anything down and the thought of food literally made me want to hurl.
In May we had our second ultrasound. I couldn't wait to see our new baby just because of how sick I was I wanted to make sure the new one was okay. 2 minutes into the ultrasound I saw what appeared to be two sacks. I immediatly thought something was wrong til I looked over at my husband as soon as we locked eyes it hit up both. That was twins!! We asked the ultrasound tech and she said why yes it is twins. I looked back to my husband and we both Just busted out laughing. Uncontrollably for the duration of the ultrasound. I know she had to think we where nuts.
Here we where. We went from being told we weren't going to have another child to being told we where having twins!!!! Twins do not run on either side of our family so you can imagine our suprise (we later found out that was a myth)
Fast foward to August. We found out we will be the proud parents of a baby boy and a baby girl!!!!!
We are excited and overwhelmed. I'm especially nervous to be having another c-section a year after having my last one. I'm nervous about having three a babies so close in age.
But I believe everything happens for a reason. I went from being told I wasn't going to have another baby to having two!!! I'm counting my blessing! I can't wait for this adventure to start.
Until we meet again-ASH
