Today was the first appointment back since I found out I was having twins. At this point I was only 10 weeks. And these last four weeks have been hell.
First, I have gotten more sick, throwing up several times a day. Not able to eat very many things at all. and not being of any use to anyone til after noon.
Second, I have been largely worried about miscarrying one or both the babies. I'm so in love with my little unborn babies that i would be VERY upset if I lost one, or both.
At the doctor's i ALWAYS run into people I know, but not necessarily want to talk to. But luckily not today. I've had to pee for awhile but I just keep holding it.
Finally my turn, I'm hoping that they will do an ultrasound, mostly for my peace of mind. After the obnoxious peeing in a cup and dipping my urine protein test strip, getting my blood pressure, and then my weight (down 4lbs), they set me up in the ultrasound room.
YES! I get to see my babies, well, they are more like Lima beans right now but still, they are my babies. Shoot, I have to get undressed, oh well, at least it's only from the waist down.
When the doctor walks in he asks me if I have recovered from the shock of having twins. I am a little embarrassed. I must have been a little more overwhelmed at the time then I thought. He then asks me how I have been and if I had any questions and we proceeded on to the ultrasound.
Ahhh....there they are. Looking like Lima beans, they have a good dividing line and their heartbeats look great.
Phew. Now if I can just hang on another few weeks til my next appointment.
