I went in for my first ultrasound last week and was shocked to find out that I am pregnant with twins! Ped is ecstatic and thinks we are "so lucky!" I'm sure it will be the most challenging and rewarding experience of our lives, but my mind is still a little boggled by the idea! I am about 11 weeks along.
I was also diagnosed with Hyperemesis which, in a nutshell, is a severe form of morning sickness that lasts morning, noon, and night. It never goes away and neither solids nor liquids will stay down. They have had me on IV's everyday for over a week now on a medication they give chemo patients for their severe nausea. I lost nearly 15 pounds in just over 2 weeks, so they are trying to help me keep food down. Some days it seems to work, but the side effects are sometimes as bad as the nausea itself.
I'm sure when I start to feel better the idea of having two babies will really sink in and I can enjoy the rest of my pregnancy and start planning for a much larger family!
