Shock of our lives!
This is my eleventh pregnancy. I have six children already. I've had complications in many of my pregnancies before including hyperemesis gravidarum and preeclampsia. Hubby and I didn't exactly have a plan for how many children to have. We both wanted *larger* family but have kind of taken it one at a time. We had decided we'd have one more and this pregnancy has been so miserable for me that I decided it's my last and I'm done.
I've been in the hospital the past two days getting IVs of fluid pumped into me due to hyperemesis gravidarum. They gave me my first ultrasound before they release me today and we figured out why I've been so sick.
So ultrasound tech had her little screen where it faced away from me then there was a larger screen which I couldn't see at all because hubby was standing in front of it taking video to show the other kids at home. Hubby begins grinning ear to ear and then laughing at me as the ultrasound tech asks, "So did you know there were two in there?" Mind you I still can't see either screen. Say whhhaaaatttt???? I really thought they were joking at first and then hubby stepped to the side a bit so I could see and sure enough, I'm suffering from a twomore. Hubby just laughed and laughed at me. I guess that's what happens when you say "Just one more" 😉.
Funny thing is that several of our kids have been suggesting for a while now that there would be two as well as my sister in law this morning on the phone. I'm not showing yet at all and have only out on a couple pounds. But I guess I did notice that my uterus was midway between my pubic bone and my belly button but had just figured that by baby number seven I guess I'd grow faster. And I'd been feeling squirmies in my uterine area for about a week now but kept passing it off as gas bubbles. Hmmm. With two wiggling I guess not. Supposed to be 12+3 today. Baby A measured 12+5 and baby B measured 13+1.
So yeah- shock. Complete shock. Still waiting to wake up and realize it's a dream.
