We're Having How Many???

So here is our lovely story of how we found out about our little BUNS in my oven!

When I found out I was pregnant it was September 10th, the day after Sawyer's 2nd Birthday. I went to the doctor who delivered Sawyer when I was about 7 weeks along. He didn't do an ultrasound or anything. Basically just did a normal pap exam and told me "Yup, you're pregnant." Wa-friggin-who. I talked to a bunch of my friends and quite a few of them told me about this one place in Ogden that does an ultrasound every time you go. I loved the sound of that! So I went to the new OB on the 18th. Got to the new OB (a woman which I have never been to a woman before ever) and she talked to me asked questions like if I wanted to do another c-section or try vbac I said I wanted to try a VBAC. She said ok. She told me to lay on the table and we'd do an ultrasound. I hoped up lifted my shirt up and she put the cold jelly stuff on my belly. Within only about 2 seconds of having the thinger on my tummy she said "so how do you feel about twins?" I was completely shocked. She said "I never joke about twins". I of course said "Are you kidding me?" She again repeated that she never jokes about twins. I started to cry. Brandon started laughing! I was so terrified at that moment. I couldn't even believe it. She said with twins I'd have to be monitored a lot more often and there was NO doing a VBAC. So much for wanting to experience labor. She moved the device around my tummy and showed us our babies. One was sleeping and the other was moving all over the place. Both measured 10 weeks so we are on schedule. The great thing about this new place is they do an ultrasound every time and record it so you can watch as the babies progress. I love that. So we left there feeling very shocked and overwhelmed. I immediately called Nikki and told her the news. She was as speechless as I was. She said she has been joking with Derik about it just the night before. They cursed me! lol We had to go pick up Brandon's car at Max and Kelly's so we headed that way. I was freaking out in the car. I texted my mom and told her to go over to Kelly's house. When I walked in they could tell I had been crying so of course they assumed the worst. I had to wait for Brandon to get inside before I could tell them the news. When I told them I started to cry again and they cried tears of joy! We sat around talking for a while about what we need to do and get then Brandon and I decided it was time to go home. ON the way home I started calling tons of people! lol I know I am not suppose to tell anyone until I am 12 weeks but this is HUGE news! HUGE!

When we got home I sat next to Brandon with my head on his chest and asked him how he was not freaking out. He said "What would that accomplish?" I said I don't know but I am doing it. And he returned with "And is it doing any good?" No but it was making me feel better. I told him he couldn't freak out in front of me or I'd lose it. I need him to be the stronger person for this. I can't be. Not able to. Later that night Dan and Tia came over so I could show Tia the babies video! I look at the ultrasound video just about everyday. It still seems surreal. I think its my dad's last little trick!! :) Now that things have had a little time to sink in, I am getting very excited! I know how huge this is and how challenging it will be, but I have two mom's who will be there to help if I need it, a brother, and friends. Things will work out. I do wish my dad was here to share in the joy though. He would have been absolutely ecstatic at the news! Makes me miss him so much.

So that is how we found out our great news! Now we have the challenge of getting Sawyer potty trained hopefully by no later than December and getting him in his new room by then as well. I am so excited for his new room! Its going to be decorated in motorcycles!! He'll love it!
