What to expect when you're expecting

It's been a LOOONG while since i last updated my blog (I had to create one as i can no longer access my old blog). It was such a fun and truly exciting time we had a year after the wedding. How i wish i could summarize it all here but maybe will do it bit by bit next time. But wait, something is really worth blogging!

As our family and friends know, i am expecting. The news came out last March 20 thru this...

It was 2 days after my birthday. Such a wonderful post birthday gift! As the days go by, dressing up is really so depressing! Nothing could fit me now! I admit i gained a lot of weight after the wedding (12-14 lbs to be exact) and plus the pregnancy, i should expect to gain more! Tsk. Tsk. Nausea and feeling sick almost everyday struck me especially since last week. Last Apr 14, we got another news. This was the result of my first ultrasound!
Tada! Yep, they're TWINS!!!

In the ultrasound room, the two ladies were kinda whispering 'multple' but then i didn't know what they were talking about as i was facing opposite the screen. The lady then called another doctor. She asked me if it was my first baby. Shyly I said 'Yes'. She then asked if i took a fertility medicine, i said 'Yes, clomid.'. She asked me again if i have history of twins in the family. I said 'Yes, have first cousins who are twins. (both my mom and dad's side)'. Then i sort of got a clue. I asked, 'Why po, are you seeing twins?' Until the doctor said 'Yes, you are carrying twins!' And both have heartbeat! Whoa!!

It was a mixed emotion. I nearly cried.

They asked me to wait again and repeat the ultrasound with an OB specialist. I had another ultrasound - this time an abdominal ultrasound. The doctor said, 'This is just to see if you are only getting two or maybe more.' What the F***! Well, the good thing is, they still saw two tiny babies inside me. Whew! That was such a relief!

I admit i have been sort of hoping that we will have twins. Few days ago, i was even searching in the internet on how to know if you're carrying twins. :) Mind you, i even took the online quiz to know my chances of having twins! :) About a week or two ago, Che and I were also joking for possible names in case we'll be having twins. He thought of Jack and Poy, or Jack and Jill or Thumb and Thacs! :)

Indeed, God is sooo good. We asked for one, we were given two! He never fails to surprise us with blessings more than what we have hoped for!
