It's Official

Well the doctor confirmed today that we are having TWINS! Yay!!! We got up excited and pumped to go to our first doctor's appointment and the whole way there I was wondering how fast the heartbeats would be today and how big they would be. I was excited to see Dr. J and the rest of the girls at the office and share the joyous news with them!

When we got to the office we chit chatted a bit and then went back to see the babies! My grandparents went with us because my grandma was on vacation and we planned to do a little shopping and go to the zoo for the day after the appointment. Of course they were invited in for the first ultrasound. It was neat getting to share that with them! Dr. J did the measurements and checked the heartbeats. He said everything looked perfect and all the parts were there! He said they looked like two perfectly healthy growing babies! I asked him all of my questions and talked with him a bit! He gave us a mile long strand of pictures of our babies. And then the bittersweet moment came...he said that this was out last appointment with him and I would be released to go back to my obgyn. I didn't cry, but boy I wanted too! I have formed relationships with people in the office and they actually put up with me calling a million times a week asking every question under the sun. I will miss them dearly! The good news my doctor's office is not far from them, so I will be making some stops in the say hello. I feel like they are part of our family! I wish Dr. J could have just made an exception and delivered our babies! haha. I am so thankful God gave Dr. J and his staff the knowledge they need to help people achieve their dream of having a baby! It's so surreal as I sit here and write this, I still can not believe that we are pregnant! I wake up every morning and just thank God for what He has done! I am so thankful for God's direction in our lives and for putting His hand on us the entire way! This was God's plan for us all along! I'm so thankful for His voice speaking to our hearts!

The next step...
I am going to call this week and make my appointment with my obgyn Dr. Monterubio at Missouri Baptist. Dr. Wilbois, who was my first obgyn, referred me to him originally. Then Dr. Monterubio referred me to Dr. J. So, I'm headed back to where I started. It is bittersweet, but I like Dr. Monterubio and I know I'm in good hands with him! And pretty much everyone I know goes to him! As a request of Dr. J he also thought it might be a good idea to go see a high risk doctor, Dr. Paul, since I'm carrying twins. So I'm going to call and make an appt. with his office also. I'm excited to go to my first real appt. at a regular obgyn! I can remember all those times going in for my well woman visit and sitting there looking at other pregnant women thinking when will I get to do that? I can't believe it's finally here!!!
