As I mentioned, I found out that I was pregnant in August. Kevin and I were beyond thrilled to have a baby especially for Gabriella to have a sister or brother. So, I called my OB and ultrasound to make appointments. Before we found out, Kevin and I always talked about what if we have one baby or twins. We discussed what things we need in case we are going to have twins. We blah blah blah nonstop until our ultrasound appointment on Monday, September 21st.
On that day of my ultrasound appointment, I was about 9 weeks pregnant. Kevin and I were nervous and wanted to know the answer, but at the same time we are excited! Once the technician did ultrasound my belly, all the sudden we saw that we were going to have TWINS!!! Technician was laughing and was planning to tell us but we knew quickly! Kevin and I were tearing joyful but laughed. UNBELIEVABLE AND SURREAL!! It was so amazing to see that I was carrying twins inside my belly. The doctor came and checked twins, and they both were doing great!
One funny story to tell about me and my two sisters: before we had kids, we realized that we have many twins in our family generations. We said that one of us was possible to have twins. We eagerly waited to see if any of us was going to have twins. So far, my two sisters each have two kids. It was my turn to see if my second one would be one or two. AAAHHHHH IT WAS ACTUALLY ME!!! It was funny.
However, after we found out that we were going to have twins, Kevin called my parents/Danuta and his parents. First, my parents thought we were joking and kept repeatly saying stop playing around with me. We kept telling them that it was true! We laughed. They didn't beleive us until I emailed them with the ultrasound picture to prove it. They were shocked and couldn't believe it. They were thrilled and were looking forward to be grandparents of twins! Kevin's parents were thrilled as well. After we got home, I called my sister in Canada and told her the biggest news. She was so surprised and was so excited to be aunt of twins! We called and emailed all families the news.
During my first trimester of pregnancy, I had morning sickness with awful nausea and vomiting! It was not so fun but surprisingly it was not as bad as I had with Gabriella. I had morning sickness for about two and half months with twins. Afterwards, I felt great and no more morning sickness. Whew.... Unfortunately, I have gestational diabetes and am on a diet.
I will update more about twins in blog in the next few posts. Check it out soon.
