Without thinking I made a restroom stop before going into the office and of course they asked for me to pee in a cup and of course I couldn't... great way to start my appointment. Especially since I had to explain to about 4 different people that I couldn't pee. Fun.
So I grabbed a cup of water to get things going and headed to my room. This was my first time meeting my actual OB since your first appointment at about 8 weeks is with a nurse practitioner. Lucky for me, my primary care doctor referred me to a highly recommended OB and so I was anxious to meet her. Once she got there we went over my medical history and all that boring stuff and she actually took the time to talk to me about my personal life and and what not, which is a nice change since most doctors just throw a list of vitamins at you and say good luck.
Finally she was about to grab the doppler to hear the baby's heart beat when she asked if I had had an ultrasound yet. I hadn't, and since I was 12 weeks she wheeled in the machine! We continued chatting while the machine started up and about half a second after the scanner doo-dad touched my tummy she said, "Oh honey, you're having twins!"
And of course the first thing I said was, "No way, are you sure?!?!" ha ha Well being that she is a professional, she was sure, and as I continued to ask her questions and make her prove to me there in fact were two in there, I finally said, "Oh Im gonna give my husband so much crap for missing this appointment!" ha ha
So Now we know, we are expecting two babies this summer! It makes me chuckle after reading my first post that said, "We're hoping for a girl because 3 kids just seems like too much work."... well it still seems like alot of work.. but also a blessing.
Okay, Im exhausted (at 8:30pm).. more to come!
