You're not gonna believe this....not one but TWO heartbeats at 1st U/S yesterday!!!!!

I about fell off the table!!!  I was so nervous that there wouldn't even be a heartbeat.  The u/s tech said that she would do the exam and then talk to us so I laid there praying for a heartbeat and she says "Well..." My heart dropped and then she said "...you have twins!"  I didn't know whether to laugh or cry so I did both!  I am so excited but SOOOOOOO nervous.  Everything measured right on target and the heartbeats were good. The dr. said there's a 95% chance that everything will be okay.  I go back in 2 weeks for another u/s.  I just can't quit staring at the u/s photos.  It is so amazing!  We were actually able to hear each of the heartbeats, which floored both DH and me!  

I guess now I know why I've been so sick!  I've been waking up b/n 4-5 a.m. every morning with nausea that lasts throughout the day.  The dr. said I could take something for it and a good friend used the Phenergan behind the ear and said it was great.  Know anything about this?  

My due date is December 31st but with twins, she said it would probably be a few weeks early so right before Christmas!  I guess my ds was right.  He's 3 1/2 and loves Dora the Explorer who has twin brother and sister.  My ds looked at me the other day (he has no idea I'm even pg) and said, "I want you to have me a baby brother.....and a baby sister.  I want 2 of them like Dora".  I said, "Well, when do you want them?" and he says "For Christmas."  It was so cute!

Our families were floored when we told them.  DH said that for the last 3 days, twins kept popping in his mind so when the tech said "twins" he wasn't surprised and was just thankful she didn't say "triplets".  My MIL has been joking for a week that it was probably twins because I've been so sick so she just said "I told you!!"  

Sorry to go on and on.....I just can't believe it! I think I'm still in shock!!!  DH has called all his friends about donating to the "Nanny Fund".

Congrats!

About the Phenergan.  A nurse friend of mine had a doctor write for the Phenergan to be prepared in such a way that it could be applied to the skin, though I think she used the inner forearm for hers.  It had to be prepared by a compounding pharmacy, not a regular one.  It really seemed to help her.

I'm sure you could do a search for "topical Phenergan" or something similar and get some info.

Again, best of luck.

That is so exciting! Congratulations. So cute to read what your DS said.

Be well and have a wonderful rest of your pregnancy!!!!!!

mami2karina - I think we will wait and tell Will after next u/s (8 weeks).  We talk about it around him but he doesn't "get" it yet.  We figured that it's too early to tell him now in case something happened because he probably wouldn't be able to understand.  I think we might go ahead and take him to Disney World this summer (he'll be 4 in July), because it will be a long time before we could go again.  Once the twins would be old enough to enjoy it, Will would be 8-9 years old. Plus, no one is going to volunteer to watch twins if we wanted to go with just Will!

EVERYONE - Thank you all so much for the encouragement!  I am moving from shocked to excited.  It will be so much fun for them growing up together and Will will be such a great "helper".  I feel extremely blessed!  

HAVE A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE!!!!
