I have lots to say too... I have had emails and messages from people asking me why I haven't blogged lately.
Truth be told, I hadn't had a day off since I got back from my vacation. And, I am still on these dag-gone estrogen pills and patches that are making me so sleepy.
Let's pick back up at 4th of July...
I was actually on vacation in New Mexico, visiting my great-grandma (soon to be great-great). We have a little get together every 4th for those who won't be able to attend her birthday in October. She will be 101 this year. And she is pretty much the coolest grandma ever. Probably even cooler than yours. But who knows. : )
Well, my original pregnancy test was June 26th. They confirmed the pregnancy with that initial test but wanted to do a follow up to make sure everything was going well. So, I had planned to do the second blood work in NM. Mind you, I don't know my way around this town we are staying in, so my aunt and uncle offered to take us to get blood work. Poor them. We went to the hospital and the line for blood work was practically out the door and sweeping around the building.
So, on to LabCorp.
Ok. We walk in... no one was in line. we stood there... and stood there. We could hear people talking... but we stood some more.
Finally, a lady comes out and finds out what we need. I ask here the probability that we could have the results before COB today because my doctors needed the info today. She says... chances are nil!!
They send all their blood work to Dallas! TEXAS! WTH??
So, I look at my poor unsuspecting aunt and uncle and ask if we could try one more place. Of course they say yes... they may just be the most chill people I know.
Well we make it to a hospital. At this point, I figured I would be lucky to get the results by the time I get back to VA. But, while the girl is drawing my blood, I explain to her the situation and she seems super eager to help get the results expedited!!
She did just that. They had my results back to me within a couple of hours!! AAAND, she even called my DR office to tell them she faxed them to them too. There are still good people in this world.
Well, as I am looking at the results and doing the "math"... it seems that my numbers (of HCG) are pointing to a likely hood of twins.
---------
Now, fast forward a little.
I was told that I need to schedule an ultrasound for anytime after the 15th of July. The first available was the 18th! I'll take it!
When my DRs office had called to me go over the second results, she told me that my due date was March 3rd.
MARCH 3RD???
So, I did some more math... (a lot of math goes on when you're getting knocked up)
That means that I will be 7 weeks pregnant on the 15th!!! Holy crap! I think we skipped some steps.
-----
We went and had the ultrasound on the 18th... yet again, I was faced with that dag-gone wand that goes inside. I hate that thing.
I don't think she got that durn thing even remotely close to inside and she said " ope! We have TWINS!"
hahaha!
Two beautiful (as much as we could see) and healthy sounding ( we heard two solid heartbeats!! ) babies!
Did I mention? ... IM GONNA BE A MOMMMMMMAAA! (TIMES TWO)
:)
(so, this is less than 2 weeks ago, I will catch you up on the rest tomorrow) promise : )
