update

I guess it's time for an update. You know, since we're pregnant again and all. AND, since we're pregnant WITH TWINS. Girls, you ask? Well, we JUST found out. We'll have to wait a few more months ..a few LONG months before we know. We are right at 8 weeks. And, I haven't had it bad yet. Lots of nausea, I'm not going to lie but I have only gotten SICK once so far. I guess our story is just like other stories that moms and dads find out they are having multiples. But, what's strange is that on the way to the doctor's office, I asked Jay what we would do if we found out we were having twins. Like the wonderful husband he is, he said, "well, I guess we'll just deal with it." Satisfied with that answer, we get to the ultrasound room after lots of poking,proding and a conference with our doctor. As we are waiting for the doctor to come in, I see an US WEEKLY magazine sitting there. Of course I find a list of celebrity twins. To name a few: Vin Diesel and Ashton Kutcher. So, I ask Jay if he knew they were twins. He was surprised.  Then, I looked up at the TV monitor and said, Jay....what are we gonna do if there are twins up there?? He gave me the same answer as before. When the doctor came in and turned the ultrasound on, he found one of our sweet babies. After watching it's heartbeat for a little bit, he moved it a little and says oh, wait a minute...wait a minute. There's another one here. About that time, both of the babies were side by side. And, their hearts were beating simultaneously. It was amazing. All I could do was LAUGH. And, squeeze Jay's hand. I covered my mouth and just laughed. And, then I was stupidly trying to hold the laugh in since the doctor is trying to do the ultrasound. Everything looked great he said .Both babies appear to have their own amniotic sac and presumably their own placenta will develop. This was all reassuring. We got 5 pictures...and they measured perfectly.
SO.....amazed. Unreal. Scary. Anxious, surprised, stunned, blessed, in awe, worried, happy, elated, complete.
I have been hurt so many times in my past. Ever since the day Jay came back into my life at that Starbucks, my god has continued to show me how he will heal my heart. How my heart will be healed. I know and understand all of the things that must happen in order for a pregnancy test to be positive. The timing, the chemicals, the reactions, the bonding, the DNA....it's just a miracle. And, there are 2 of them in my tummy.
I do  ask that you and your family keep us in your thoughts as it is very early in our pregnancy with these twins. I cannot wait to find out what we are having. I cannot wait to hear again that everything looks fine.
Seth doesn't understand. I told him there was a baby in my tummy and he pulled up my shirt looking all around for it. Parker...I think he understood when we told him there was one in there. But, after trying to tell him there's 2....he thinks I'm nuts.

What a sweet, precious life I have. Full of love. And, it just keeps getting better.

Love to all,
Kim
