TWINS!

The tech did the u/s abdominally. Immediately, the two sacs popped up. It was silent for a few seconds. I said, "There's not two, are there?" The tech said quietly, "Yes. I was wondering if you were going to notice that."

And I started to sob hysterically.

Jon was very calm. I was and still am quite shocked. I have all of these questions running through my head, but I am trying not to stress out/freak out.

Baby A's heartbeat was 176. Baby B's was 172, and s/he was wiggling around her little arm & leg buds. It was really cute.

I'm happy, but seriously flipping out.

NB Diapers!

Today, Jon & I were running errands & Corbin fell asleep. He had only been asleep 1 hour, so we didn't want to take him home yet & risk transferring him & waking him (he usually takes 2-3 hr naps). So my Jon says, "Why don't you go to that baby store you like & get some NB diapers?" Um, okay! I wasn't planning to get any until we knew the gender, so I decided to get neutral ones. I'll get girly or boyish covers later for them.

and here I paired them with one of Corbin's BG OS, so you can appreciate their itty-bittiness

And while I was there, I saw these GroBaby diapers & had the girl give me a demo on them. They just got them in yesterday. They were pretty cool. It's like a BG OS, but it's also like a cover with these inserts that aren't stuffed. IDK how to describe it, so look here: Gro Baby

I will have to go back & get the baby some if I can find any good reviews of them. I won't do any more shopping though until after we see a HB. When Jon is in the mood to buy diapers, I just couldn't pass it up!

First Dr Visit

It was last Friday, and it was just a nurse visit! Corbin & Ethan were okay during it all, but they got a little whiney towards the end. They drew the 5 viles of blood that they require for prenatal bloodwork. We also set up my first OB appt & ultrasound for next Weds., April 8th. I just pray we find a heartbeat & that the growth is right on track. I was so glad that she didn't weigh me, although i know that I have already gained 5 lbs. I ended up gaining 12 pounds in the first trimester with Corbin b/c that is when my cravings are the worst. I guess probably b/c of the raging hormones.

My cravings so far are tangy, sweet/sour sauces, cold cheese, chocolate milk (that craving has passed & it now sounds gross).

I am having a little bit of tightening that worries me. I probably need to drink more water. I can't start Braxton Hicks this early- that's scary.
