This week for our "For MOMs by MOMs" link up we are sharing our story of how we found out it was twins and how we told people. Please visit our blog here and link up!
My story is pretty boring but I want to share it anyway. I was about 6 weeks pregnant and on Thanksgiving break from school. Monday of the break I went to meet a friend for lunch. when I got home it started. I was laying down for about five minutes when I started vomiting exorcist style. The puking continued around the clock for the next couple of days. I was scared. I had heard of morning sickness but not constant sickness! By Wednesday morning I had hardly kept anything down and I was getting concerned. I called my ob and she recommended for me to go to the ER to get some fluids. I called Clayton who out was out playing golf and had him come home to go with me to the hospital. We got to the hospital without me puking everywhere and got some fluids.
The doctor on call wanted to do an ultra sound just to make sure everything was ok. We went to the ultra sound and the technician started counting. She got to six and Clayton looked like he was going to pass out. He asked her if there were six babies and she said no that I had cysts on my ovaries. But that there were two of course. OF COURSE! What you talking about Willis?? I heard Clayton say two? Twins? I couldn't really talk. Somewhere deep in I expected twins. My dad is a twin and my mom has twin uncles. That plus IUI I knew our chance was pretty high.
We were both in shock and wanted to call people but we decided to wait until we left the hospital. We there were for about another hour or so while they got me a prescription for the wonder drug that is Zofran and made sure I could keep some food and water down.
On the way home from the hospital I called my mom to tell her that everything was fine. I wanted to hold in our secret until Thanksgiving since it was only a day away but I couldn't do it! I told my mom that we had had an ultrasound and that everything looked good. I then told her that we saw the "heartbeatS". She went on and said oh that's good. Then it sunk in and she was so happy! She laughed and giggled and we were thrilled at the thought of two babies! After that we called Clayton's parents and my sister. I was pretty exhausted so we decided to wait until the next day to tell the rest of the family! That was the best Thanksgiving ever! And I am so thankful for my babies!
