Life Unexpected is the perfect title for my blog. Seriously.... Let's look at a recap really quick from September till now...
September 2011 - September 2012 - Lost 120 lbs
September 2011 - September 2012 - Mom had chemo for a year. She had surgery to remove the cancer from her right lung. Mom was "cancer free". Mom's cancer recurred in her abdomen. Mom began radiation.
September 26, 2012 - Found out I was pregnant.
September 28, 2012 - Found out I was 9 1/2 weeks pregnant...with Identical Twins.
It was kind of funny...we had joked about how if we had twins we would literally be in shock. Harold even said about an hour before the ultrasound, when we were in the waiting room "What if we're having twins? OMG, we'd be done after that (hahaha)" So...when the ultrasound was being done, I should have KNOWN something had to be different with me. Nothing is ever normal for me.
Even the ultrasound tech saw me come in, she said "Haven't I seen you lately for something else??" I replied "Ya, ya, I was here just about 2 months ago for my complex cyst ultrasound." She kind of giggled and was like "Well now you're pregnant! You can't be normal can you?" I said "No, I can't." and smiled at her.
I'd say it took a good week for the complete disbelief to wear off...though, when I start thinking about things like going to the grocery store, flying in an airplane, waking up at night, potty training....I begin to get scared again. Most scary thing....? CHILD CARE EXPENSE. WTF are we gonna do? I REALLY wish at times like this my family wasn't so far away. 1) So they could spend more time with our babies, because family is so, so important. and 2) So I could be like all the other fortunate people who have family that help babysit if they need to go somewhere, or go to work. Ugh....even better? I wish I could afford to be a stay at home mom. I hate the thought of missing time or important moments in my babies' lives.
Here are the babies on 9/28/12 Ultrasound when we found out there were 2! We just had our 2nd ultrasound in which I'll post pics asap.
So......"Like sands through the hourglass....So are the Days of our Lives"
