Our Second Ultrasound................SURPRISE!

Well we went for our second ultrasound yesterday and we were met with such a gigantic surprise my head is still reeling!!

We arrived at the fertility clinic and they called my name to go in. She did the measurements from the belly and then I could pee! Now for the trans vag ultrasound... OK so I am used to them so no biggie for me. It felt like she was in there for an hour! Well it was actually 31 minutes that I was in the ultrasound room so I guess time goes a little slower that we thought! FINALLY she went to get Roy so we could look at our little bug all snug as a bug in a rug! She says well this time we are seeing something different.. I said o yes its probably bigger.... she turns the monitor and there we see a flicker of a heartbeat... I was so full of instant love... then she says there are 2! 2 what? 2 BABIES! 2 Heartbeats! TWINS! OMG I couldn't believe it...but I couldn't stop staring at the screen then ROy says Why don't they have seats in here for the husbands?? We weren't sure if he was going to pass out or what so the tech gave him her seat! I looked over at him and he was pale but had this huge smile on his face.. Secretly telling me not to worry everything will be alright! When I went into the room to change I almost fell as my mind started racing and my legs started to buckle... I just stood therer for a second and said...well God only gives us what we can handle so we will be fine. We sat in the waiting room and they gave us a picture showing them both. We just couldn't stop looking at it as the world around us was spinning. We never expected that! Funny how today is such a completely new day compared to yesterday!

Well we have scanned in the picture and we are giving it framed as an Easter gift to the grandparents for Easter so I will let you know their response!

This truly is a blessed Easter!

Well you are going to be grandparents!

I am really sorry I haven't updated in a while but I have just been busy dealing with family and friends since most now know about you joyous news. I am also suffering from a problem with my sciatic nerve and am so tired at the end of the day!

We finally told my mom and Peter. We went to dinner at their house and I just couldn't get around to telling them... I chickened out! After being there for several hours, after eating dinner and dessert and talking forever it was time to go............ we still hadn't told them. It was so hard. Finally Roy says to them SHellie has something she wants to tell you and my mom says O what you didn't like dinner? (typical response) And I responded no we're pregnant! They laughed amd mom jumped up and hugged me and said it worked!! Yes it worked but unfortunately at that point it still wasn't real to us really... Aside from slight nausea I didn't feel any different!

Then on Saturday we decided to stop by Roy's parent's house and have a quick chat. We arrived bags in hand (bibs for each grandparent that said I Love my Grandma or Grandpa and a plain bib for Auntie Susan) We arrived only to find out that Susan was out for the day! So we sat and chatted for a bit and then Roy decided to give them the bags anyways. They got excited and hugged us and told us they just knew bla bla bla.... (I am glad everyone else knew cause Roy and I sure didn't!) They were excited and later that night Susan called and said congratulations Mommy and Daddy!

All the grandparents are excited and happy and looking forward to being able to tell people in May (when we have reached our 3 month mark)

Update soon!

The next ultrasound is April 13th! Looking forward to seeing my little bug.
