We have had many more ultrasounds and doctor visits than most pregnant women have. Some of that is because we are having twins and also because we have had some complications. Today was one of our scheduled visit. The plan is to go every 4 weeks but we have really be in almost every 2 weeks the past 6 weeks. I laid awake in bed last night...like I do most nights...thinking of everything we will need times two, future birthdays and Christmases and the other one million things I could think about.
I always get excited to see our babies. See them getting bigger and moving around but there is always a part of me that wonders if everything is alright. I have been dealing with a sub-chorionic hemorrhage since 10 weeks...don't google it...trust me. Basically, it is a small pocket of blood that is between the uterine lining and the placenta. It happens in 1 out of 4 pregnancies and with 2 babies, my chances were a bit higher. It is unexplainable and can't be treated. We just wait and see....6 weeks now of waiting and hoping it doesn't effect Baby A's growth or something worse. At this point it hasn't had any negative effect on either babies. Praise God! With each ultrasound, I just pray that everything looks good. Since I can't feel them move at this stage, there is no constant way to know that everything is ok. I just have to trust in Him.
After about 2 hours of laying awake in bed...I decide that what will be, will be. "What God ordains...He will sustain." We just go one day at a time...that is all that we can do. The babies looked great today. We got to see them both moving around and we got another guess on their genders! They are starting to form personailites..at least to us. Baby B likes to put on a show and give us great pictures and wave. Baby A is shy...likes to turn his/her back to us and just snuggle in for a nice nap.
I just thank God for every day that I get to be their Momma.
