Hello Everyone,
Robert has been wanting kids since the day we were married. Actually, he started this whole need for kids when we started dating to tell the truth. This last year I finally gave into all the "when are we going to have kids" questions from Robert and promised him I would stop taking the pills at the end of July, thinking that we would not be pregnant for at least 6 months plus since all my other friends it took at least that long. Well as life would have it it took only 4 months. Our first trip to the Dr., he said, "well you are definitely pregnant", printed out a little pic with a dot on it. Then as I made it to the counter to do more paper work, he came over and joked that next time we came in we would get to find out how many we were having. With all the seriousness I would muster I looked him right in the eyes and asked him if there was anything on the pic to indicated there could be more than one. He said, on I'm just joking with you. What a good sense of humor he has I told myself, but not FUNNY. Then on our next visit he is checking my heart, and tells the nurse that my heart is strong enough to carry 3 babies, but we've never had 3 babies before have we. Then time for the tummy exam, he gets really quiet and says there's the 2nd one. A feeling of deep fear comes over me, he must just be joking again. HaHa. Then I look at the screen and see several things floating around in there. I ask the Dr. to make sure there are just 2. Those other things were there yoke sacks. Then the next thing I can think to say is, I hate you to Robert. Then, the Dr explains that twins are all on the mom and what her body does. Bla, Bla, Bla, not what I wanted to hear. And Robert is over there just Laughing, he thinks this is great! And is over the moon excited. Robert says the Dr left because I looked more than just a little upset. At the time I guess, shocked, upset, what in the world just happened here was on my face. I was just getting use to the idea that we would have A baby, but 2! WOW, now that's a blessing. Robert reminds me later that I would always joke about having twins because I don't like the idea of being pregnant, the fatness, the thought of having stretch marks, and not being in control of what is happening to my body, all, not on my to do list. So, since Robert wanted kids of his OWN, I use to think how great it would be to have twins to get it all knocked out in one shot. Apparently God took me seriously on that one, and here we are, pregnant with Twins!
