Pregnant with WHAT

This is journal writing.... NO PICTURES..... I guess it is time to write down my pregnancy story since I am halfway done. It started when I found out in March that I was pregnant. I was shocked because it was only about 1 month being on Femara and it worked. (I took the same medicine with both my boys.) I became really sick shortly after and thought this morning sickness it awful that no matter what happen this time around it would probably be my last time being pregnant. I didn't throw up much just nasty nauhea all day long. I just couldn't remember it being this bad. We were so busy with baseball and school that I just keep waiting to get my apointment to go see the doctor. Finally school was going to be out in May and I was going to go to my parents house for Mason's birthday that I thought I should go to the doctor before that to make sure everything was ok. We had some friends in the ward going to be sealed as a family and I new that we both couldn't go because of the time they were doing it at. Mason was still in school and needed someone here to get him and watch Chase. So when I called the doctor the day they had open happen to be the same day May 18th that they were going to the temple. So I was the one that would be going. Darren didn't come because it was just the first appointment to make sure I was pregnant and everything was ok. I just didn't see that he needed to be there. Boy was I wrong. (I am 11 weeks pregnant.)
I get to the doctor and the first thing I say is, "I just want to make sure there is a baby in there because this going to be my last pregnancy and I have been super sick." He said," will take a look." He starts the sonogram and says there is a baby, there actually is TWO. Right then I went into shock. I remember putting my hands on my head saying there is 2 heart beats... and everything looks ok. He then said they look good, they are in 2 different sacks, and the membrane line is thick. I am Due DEC 6 but he said I will go early. He let me wait on my blood work since I was not sure about my insurance and since I was still in shock. We schedule the next appointment and I leave.
I get in the car and see that I have about 1 hour till I needed to be at the temple. The first thing I do is look at my cell phone and see that I have some missed calls from Darren. I call him and tell him that everything is ok but that it is TWINS. He says to me,"SHUT UP" "SHUT UP", YOU BETTER NOT BE JOKING." I then let him know I am not joking and that I have another call coming through. So I say I will call you right back. When I call him back we talked for alittle bit and I am still just not sure what just happened.
I call my grandparents to get the number to the school where my mom works and I let them know what I just found out. My grandma says," I won't tell anyone until you tell me it is ok to tell." (I don't like to tell people until I hit the safe zone) My grandpa gets on the phone and tells me he will go to the school and have my mom call me. So she calls and I tell her my new secret. I go to the temple still just shocked about what has happened. When I sit by Tandy and she asked if I was by myself and I said yes because I had to go to the doctor. She asked if everything was ok. I then just thought I need to tell her. So talked until time to go to the room. I get in the sealing room and just start to cry. I was happy for our friends and I just had a whole lot of hormones and shock starting in on me.
I make it home and asked Darren if he told anyone and he was like," well when I hung up from you Bishop happen to call and I was just in shock so I had to tell him. Then I called work and told them because Jason has twins." Then the word just kinda stopped here.
Then my grandma could not keep a secret that she begain telling family members and then others she would see. So I went to my parents house not really knowing how many people knew my new secret. She wanted to annouce it at Relief Society but it happen to be combined. So I was glad for that. Well the next week she remembered she hadn't announced it so she shared that news. So really the whole town where my family lives know my secret but people up here no nothing.
I wasn't really showing much so it was easy not to share anything. But little by little people would find out and then share it with others.
This past sunday I had alot of people ask me if I was pregnant so I now know that I am showing to where I don't look like I am chubby but pregnant. I am 20 weeks along. I am doing alot better. For the first little while I kept thinking that I was miss carrying or something just wasn't right because I was cramping, and just hurt. Now I know that it was just growing pains and streching because I have grown so fast. I still have my good days and bad one but little by little I am feeling better and able to do more house work.
I just went to the Doctor on July 13th and found out that I am having 1 boy & 1 girl. So now I know that I probably had to have twins in order to get a girl. We are excited to be having a girl but nervous of what is to come. We know it is going to be hard work and will take lots of patience. The boys are now excited about having a baby that Chase says you have babies in your tummy. There will be lots of adjusting and praying that he does ok.

  1. I'm happy for you - my mom couldn't keep a secret with us either. We weren't going to say anything the second time around but then she got an impression we were pregnant and asked me in front of everyone. I tried to act like I didn't know what she was talking about but everyone figured it out. Oh well. I have a friend who had twins after 2 kids. I'll ask her if she has any advice. You'll be ok.
