Twins?
So I went to my monthly OB-GYN check-up today to check on the baby. I told my doc that I had been super sick this pregnancy, and she said, "hmm... I wonder..." She then felt my belly and mumbled, "Hmm... you're feeling a little big for 13 weeks..." Then she got out the doppler and started listening for a heartbeat, which she found above the left side of my pelvis. Then for kicks she started listening for another heartbeat... WHICH SHE FOUND on the upper right side of my abdomen. I gasped, got teary, and looked at her like, "what just happened?" She asked if I wanted to get an ultrasound, just to see, and I nodded. Within a half hour, I was in the radiology waiting room telling my very excited mother that I might be having twins.
Kurt insisted I call him during the ultrasound and breathed a huge sigh of relief when there was only one baby inside. :) And I realized that I'm just fatter and sicker for no reason. Great.
Why he was relieved and I was a little sad and disappointed, I don't know. I mean, I'm the one who would bear the brunt of caring for 4 kids under 4. Being the romantic that I am, I think I just kind of fell in love with the idea for a few minutes. The ultrasound lady said, "twins always sound so exciting until you actually have them..." She's right. I'm sure I would have gone crazy, but it was fun for a few minutes to think about it!
My mom still thinks there might be one swimming around in there somewhere. She was quite disappointed that it was a false alarm. Our scanner's not working, otherwise I would have scanned in the quite cute profile shot we got of our babe today. Maybe another time... like when we find the other one hiding behind her at 18 weeks. :)

If you were in my family it probably would have been twins. Numbers 3 and 4 have been twins 2 out of 3 times. Pretty good stastically! We are hoping for that.
Hey, by the way, Greg and I may be coming to Boston around the 19th of August to celebrate our anniversary. Will you guys be there then so we can see you?
I hear you can get BYU nannies for a reasonable price!!
