I had been married a whopping 2 months when I found out I was pregnant. So what Kacey. Well here's some tmi. I was taking birth control, never missed a day, taking it at the same time everyday, and using other forms of protection. Move over Fertile Mertile, I had been sexually active a whole 2 months and boom that blue plus sign was screaming at me. I took the test in my church bathroom hoping my prayers to God would be heard better. They went a little like this "God, I want children, eventually, just not now. Please, please, please let this be bad PMS and a virus!" As soon as I so gracefully peed on that stick the plus sign showed. I sat there for a good twenty minutes. Chris was waiting outside. I yell from within the bathroom. "um, babe"...
Lets fast forward to ten weeks later, the night before my first ultrasound. I'm sitting in my living room with my pregnant best friend Tippi. I might want to mention at this time that Tippi was expecting twins. Something I had told her since she found out. So here we are, sitting on my couch when Tippi crouches down to my belly and says "hello my little babies, I don't know if you're girls or boys but I know there are two of you. Mommy doesn't think so, but I know" She was crazy. I have no history of twins in my family, do I? The whole way to the my checkup the next day I was pleading internally "please be one, I know its two, but please be one" Chris kept asking if I was ok and I shook my head afraid to voice my fears out loud.
A very sweet tech named Andrea started my ultrasound. As soon as the picture came on the screen I see two round things and I ask "um, is that two?" to which she enthusiastically replies " oh my goodness, yes, you caught it before I did" this is what went through my mind and also came out of my mouth "OH CRAP" "OH NO" "OH CRAP" Then I hear chuckling, then laughter. My husband is thrilled and just laughing his tail off at me freaking out.
I guess I looked like I might pass out in the lobby, strangers were holding my hand asking me if everything was ok. All I could say was "there's two" I called everyone, saved Tippi for last who said " if you are lying to me I will never be your friend again" Chris was grinning from ear to ear. at this point I'm still in shock and would stay that way for the day.
24 weeks here
My nerves finally calmed down and I was beaming with joy. I threw up everyday at least twice and cried because I thought I thought I was too fat for Chris to feel them move. I was dumb, he could feel them. I was 17 weeks when I found out I was having two boys. I was so excited and relieved. God knows I couldn't handle two girls. My Momma was overjoyed. She had always wanted a little boy and now she would have two grandsons. I loved being pregnant! I was loosing weight and feeling my boys move was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
I has just turned 28 weeks when we registered at a few places and picked out paint for the nursery. My Daddy decided to cook for me on March 31st. I hadn't really been able to eat much but this day I felt I could eat a horse...and a pig. I felt like I had hiked up Mount Everest and my butt was going to fall off. The pain did not stop me from eating a huge steak, baked potato, and salad. Then My moms steak and potato =D It was so nice being able to eat with out two heads digging into my rib cage.
Late that night Chris was in his study and I was scarfing down Life cereal. Where did all this room come from? I noticed it was just after 1am meaning it was April Fools day.I got up and headed towards the study.Half way there I thought better of screaming "MY WATER BROKE!" didn't want to jinx myself, geeze. I headed back to bed and watched PBS. Chris came in the bedroom about 2:25 got ready for bed turned off the TV. He kissed me and said goodnight. I roll over and no joke, as soon as I do this my water breaks. I sat straight up and screamed "MY WATER BROKE" to which Chris replied "Are you sure?" I wanted to punch him. I jumped up, got dressed, and put my hair up. I look at Chris and he is standing in the same spot, frozen in his boxer briefs. He looks at me and says "What do we do!?!?!" I had to laugh after telling him to put clothes on.
After getting in the truck (it was pouring rain btw) I call my mom then L&D. I didn't realize till now that I was violently jerking. I was very scared and nervous. I was only 28 weeks. I called Chris's Stepdad and he hung up on me thinking I was joking. everyone else I called believed me and headed up to the hospital. I called Tim (fatherinlaw) back and said "i'm not joking, my water broke and we are headed to L&D"
They checked me out and put me in an ambulance to Erlanger. I think I'll end this here to be continued later.
