I didn't sleep well last night. I kept thinking about the ultrasound and, quite frankly, I was a little worried that I would have the ultrasound and nothing would show up. That everything else was something else, and that I wasn't really pregnant. I woke up this morning from a horrible dream that I was in an advanced Spanish class, with Senor Barth as my instructor, and I couldn't understand a single word that he was speaking!! For those of you who don't know, he was my Spanish teacher in high school and I was his teacher's aide for a semester. To not be able to understand him would mean that I had no skill at all!!! After that horrible nightmare woke me up, I started groggily thinking back to when I wanted to be a Spanish teacher, and to the opening speech I would give me class in Spanish...just to prove to myself that all of those years did not go to waste...but I digress...after all, you're not reading this blog to know about my horrible nightmares of not knowing Spanish!!!
I finally got up at 8 and I was super cranky. I felt bad for Johnny, because he was all excited about the ultrasound and the beginning of a new day and I was biting his head off like crazy. He puts up with me so well!!
We got to the appointment early (yay)! And they took me back earlier than the original appointment time, which was super nice. The ultrasound lady (I wish I had gotten her name) told me that we might not be able to see anything with the regular tummy ultrasound, but she would try first. She did. There were two little black circles...at first I thought that it must be my ovaries...there are two of those, but I knew it wasn't that. She then confirmed what I was thinking...TWINS!!! I was shocked. Ever since I was a little girl, I had known of the strong possibility of either me or Julie having twins, but I never really thought that it would happen! Johnny and I even discussed it a couple times, but...it's so different when it is reality, not just some possibility. We were able to see them--Twin A and Twin B. They call the one closest to the cervix Twin A. I call Twin A Elizabeth and Twin B Little Johnny. I don't know the genders yet, but I think that's the way it is. Julie is guessing the same.
Wow. So there it is! I'm having twins...and I'm still a little shocked and very excited. And I keep thinking about how big I'm going to get. I'm already quite a bit bigger, most of my clothes fit rather snugly. I shall start taking pictures!!
