Nah, I really meant it. If I was being sarcastic, you'd know it.

Well thank you Bay.

Welcome to parenthood! Or for me anyway, lol

I know right!? Not even here yet and I’m already exhausted

Things are always going wrong. We had an anatomy scan today that I’ll tell y’all about later. Still processing it myself.

I’ll post this answer here. And thanks for the hugs @tortoise

I can’t sleep. My head is all over the place right now. Brace yourself.
…
We’re having twins. I don’t know how baby B was missed. I’ve had 3 ultrasounds. I’m in shock right now. I’m not sure how this will change my birth plan. I’m devastated. It was supposed to be simple anatomy with a new doctor. He looked at me and said “Baby B is measuring nicely as well!” We were taken completely off guard. A boy and a girl. I’m thrilled and terrified and sad and angry all wrapped up in a nice little bow. They are surprisingly both healthy despite me not intaking enough protein for twins. I knew I had an extremely high chance but I just figured I’d be fine. I’d be the exception. This changes lots of future plans, I was so hoping to adopt the next baby. But 2 is my limit. Now I have to start an entirely different routine in terms of my food and water intake. I dearly hope I can still have my home birth. Pray for me y’all. I’m so scared. Joyful too.

Agreed! YOU will be amazing. Many higs and prayers as you both process and accept the extra little bundle you have been blessed with!

Now.... little girl names

 

[tortoise]

Wow! Congrats and condolences. You got this!

Dont worry about your nutrition thus far, babies steal from momma. You may need more time to recover your nutritional stores after this pregnancy, but babies will be okay!

Congrats on your new discovery and condolences for the plans that are now changing drastically. But, a little girl too! And as was previously mentioned - time to pick a girl name!

When my daughter found herself pregnant 8 weeks after delivering her first child she was in that same "shocked" place you find yourself. It does change your plans, but I hope that this is a pure blessing for you. I've always thought that mother's of twins are very special people - they kinda have to be, lol. Ya'll can do this!

Twins! Boy and girl, the perfect family. At least they are not identical and you don't have to tattoo a dot on one to tell them apart. Always look on the bright side, right?

You got this.
