Thank you for your prayers

I just got home and I'm exhausted. First, I had an ultrasound done and everything looked great with the baby. He/She was actually sleeping during the ultrasound. The tech took the measurements and listened to the heartbeat and said she didn't see anything to worry about. I asked her if the placenta was in the right place and she said yes. I had worried that I had Placenta Previa, because a symptom is bleeding and spotting. She also mentioned something very interesting, something that my other doctor never mentioned.

After looking around, she pointed to a spot on the screen and asked if my last doctor explained what this area was. I didn't know what she was talking about and started to get worried. Apparently, at the very beginning of the pregnancy, I was pregnant with twins. Very early on, the baby absorbed on it's own. I told her I never had cramping and asked if I would have felt something and she said not necessarily, especially if it was very early on. She said it's more common then people think. Some doctors choose not to say anything because they figure the patient doesn't know what they are looking at and doesn't want to upset anyone. I wasn't too surprised to hear the news. I had dreams from the beginning that it was twins. When I went in for my first appointment, I was actually surprised that it was only one baby. Not disappointed, just surprised. I then asked if that meant that my body won't ever be able to carry twins and she said no, that isn't the case. Sometimes things happen and it's the natural way of the body taking care of things.

After the ultrasound, the doctor examined me and said I looked perfectly healthy and to take it easy to be safe. No exercise, or any other physical activity until I'm 14 weeks. So just for another 2 weeks. She said I could spot throughout the entire pregnancy, but just to keep an eye on it and call them if I get worried.

The boys were a handful, only because it was snack time and I was in such a hurry to get to the appointment that I didn't grab anything. They called me 10 minutes before they wanted me to show up and trying to gather both of them and change diapers and get to the doctor on time is a bit of a challenge. They both flirted with ALL of the ladies in the office and were very pleasant around the staff. I'm definitely taking a nap this afternoon.

Thank you for all of your prayers!
