First we want to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas! We have been so busy traveling and away from home we have been unable to post. A lot has happened in the last week. On Saturday evening, 12/20, Melissa had some spotting that really concerned her. She contacted her doctor first thing on Monday and was scheduled for an appointment that afternoon. Luckily, there had been no more spotting after those few hours on Saturday. Away we went to Peoria, thinking we would hear some unpleasant news.
Once at Dr. Gibson's office, we did the routine check-up and then were placed in a room with a sonogram machine. Melissa was excited at the chance of getting a glimpse of our baby two weeks earlier than planned! After a brief discussion of Melissa's symptoms and problems, he decided it was best to do a vaginal sonogram. We have learned vaginal sonograms are necessary early in the development because otherwise the baby is too small to see through the normal sonogram over the waist.
We were surprised indeed once he showed us some images... there are not one embryo's but there are TWO! We are having twins! Can you believe it? We are still in shock!
Needless to say, so far everything is going fine as far as the babies are concerned. Melissa has finally been hit with horrible nausea and seems to struggle with feeling faint, tired, and sick daily. She is trying her best to brave through it, but is also being hit with overly-high emotions. Yesterday, Christmas day, was the first day Melissa hadn't cried in over a week!
We will surely keep you posted, and may you have a Happy New Year :)
