Congratulations all mommies

I'm not pregnant with twins at the moment just my onesie. But I wanted to share my current pregnancy story with you ladies.

At the beginning of this pregnancy. I had two sacs on my first ultra sound at around 3+ weeks with pretty high numbers in the 8000. Don't remember the exact. Yet my doctor was very hesitant to declare twins. It was too early I need to come back in around 6 wks to get a better US. By my next appointment at 6-7 I still had two sacs but one literally just looked like it was filled with fluid while the other had a little peanut of life. Even then it look as if the sacs were on top or more accurately in front of each other, my doctor still wasn't okay confirming twins. We checked my numbers again and while they rose they didnt rise enough to indicate twins to my doctor. So made another appt. Well at 9-10wks the other sac had shrunk and was basically disappearing and my (peanut) son was thriving. In fact it looked as if my son was sitting on a tiny water at that ultra sound. It was at this point my doctor told me that I was initially pregnant with twins but I had lost one. It was heartbreaking at first. Upon finding out we were pregnant my husband and I joked about it being twins.only to be told that it was but now wasn't was devastating. It was a rare possibility. My doctor explained that I did get pregnant with twins (fraternal he said) but only one thrived from the on-set. I basicalky miscarried one baby. He went on to say while catching this occurrence is rare, catching is happening with earlier and earlier detection. I did have slight cramping around 16-20 weeks but no bleeding. We monitured it weekly but for me it was like my body reabsorbed him. The sac would get smaller and smaller until we couldn't see it or maybe my son got bigger and bigger. Either way we grieved the lost of our angel baby and it was hard for me to get over but had to say goodbye and I love and still celebrate the blessing of our healthy baby boy who will be here in a few days.

I wish I could be part of your joy, stress, worries, happiness, sadness and all that comes with the blessing of multiples. I can admit I'm no longer jealous and resentful of it. Not that I shared those negative feelings. I had to realize that I was blessed just to have a baby and my love for him was no less. I am happy as a cat with cream for all of you and I can't wait for all of us to be mom to our little loves.

Love you ladies many blessings and your in my hearts.
