Baby B is a thumbsucker!!! Hopefully he/she doesn't keep it up as long as I did, but I can't help but find it adorable.
We are still surprised by the news but definitely feeling very excited. Twins is something that I've NEVER wanted but now that we're having them I'm so happy about it and pray that everything goes well over the next several months.
We actually found out Thursday morning because we had to make a trip to the emergency room and that's where we had our first sonogram. I think we were so happy to hear that we weren't miscarrying that it helped us be more excited about the prospect of twins.
It was the most amazing thing getting to hear the heart beats at the doctor's office on Friday for the first time and to hear from the doctor that everything looks great. I do have a hematoma but we were told by the doctor (and a friend who also had one during her pregnancy) that I Just have to be really careful and follow the doctor's restrictions, and it should dissolve on its own. The only positive thing about having the hematoma is that I get extra sonograms on top of the extra sonograms that we get for having twins so I feel like we'll have pretty constant reassurance that everything is fine.
We didn't want to find out the sex of the baby when we were having only one baby...but now I really want to know since we need to be as prepared as we possibly can be! Eric needs some convincing though so I'll be working on him b/c we could potentially find out at our Feb 5th sonogram.
We've had so much support and encouragement from family and friends. I'm still overwhelmed and haven't hardly slept since Thursday, but I'm starting to feel convinced that we can do this! We've gotten lots of offers for help and baby sitting - offers that we were worried would be retracted once they found out there were two!! But it seems like I'm the most concerned about the multiples and everyone else doesn't appear scared.
Keep us and the babies in your prayers please, whenever you think about us. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWe need to get some pics of Momma's belly on here soon so everyone else can be amazed that you have 2 babies in you and you are STILL skinnier than the average person! =)
Love you!

We are so surprised how clear the little ones are, there are really 2!! Congrats! They look adorable! We vote for keeping their sex a surprise but with that many sonograms it may be difficult/impossible. Enjoy all the fuss & excitement & Erica get some sleep. Love & prayers to the 4 of you. Aunt Nancy & Uncle Jeff

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good day. cant wait to see your babies and you get the babies you wanted
Erica just wanted to tell you that i love you and that i cant wait to see the babies. I want to tell you that if you have boys then you should name one Ean and if it is a girl then you should name it Erin. Wouldn't it have been cool if they were both born on the same day as you and me. If you ever need support or a sitter then I will always be here if you need me. I hope the operation goes perfect. Your the best sister in the world.
