Trouble... x2!!!!!

Things are about to be turned upside down in our world!!  We got the good news on April 20, 2011.  I am currently 9 weeks pregnant WITH TWINS!!!!
The doctor says that they are probably fraternal judging by the space between them.  We couldn't be more excited/terrified/overwhelmed/happy!!!!  (the list could go on with the feelings we are having!)  So far the pregnancy has been great!  A little nausea 24/7 and exhaustion is about as bad as it's been!!  I think I'm okay with that!

I never fully understood what everyone talked about when they talk about hearing the heartbeat for the first time and seeing that little person inside of you.  I'll just say this, it is awesome!!  I'm so glad Chase and I got to experience that together for the first time.  First, the shock of there being not just one, but two!  And then the little heartbeats and being able to see the little hearts fluttering like a butterfly!!  It overwhelmed me to say the least!  I immediately had an unconditional love for these little 1.8 cm beings that I was growing!!

I laugh to myself because I never thought I could be any more of an eater than I already am!!  Welcome to pregnancy I guess!!  I eat every hour, even through the night!!  I should be as big as a house by now, but I guess having two little beans inside of you growing and taking all those nutrients makes the fat process a little slower!! ha ha!

We couldn't be happier for this new adventure!  I'm having fun dreaming up different nursery ideas and names!!  Imagining what they will be like and how great its going to be that they will always have a friend!!  I can't wait for my next visit to the doctor to see them again!!!
