Happ Tofurkey Day ;)

Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll. 

I am at my mom's (in Titusville) and FI's mom is with us.  My grandmother, grandfather, and FI's mom are find out about the pregnancy today.

Also, I guess this is as good a time as any to post this:

(AND I BLAME THIS ALL ON YOU LADIES)

We are having twins!!

    Holy ***! Congrats!!!! How is the pregnancy? Yay.

    Pretty tame so far.  I am impressed and so far, but still convinced that I think I would be done after this one.  Confession: I was a little bummed when I saw both the little guys on the screen, because I know that between twins, my history of epilepsy, and Luis' genetic history, I will not be able to be at a birthing center; but I know that I can get excellent care at a hospital, too.  I am praying that whatever OB I end up with won't insist on a c-section just because there are two of them in there.  

    I will scan a pic of the sono later.

    I know you were set on this, I'm sorry you're bummed, and totally understand. This is why I said to be open minded. ;) And if your OB isn't open to letting you not have a c-section unless you need one, switch OBs. They work for you. :)

  • Wow how awesome!! Congrats on your twins, it really is in the WCF water haha :-)

    I am trying to be.  My current OB's practice said that just because there are twins doesn't necessarily mean a c-section, so that is good.  I'm totally ok with being in a hospital, now that I know what I know.  It was just a fleeting feeling really.  In the end, I am sure I am like every other mom and I will do whatever is necessary to get the beans and rice out safe and healthy.

  • Congratulations!!! Wow for Twins! So happy for you, not send some WCF water over my way ahhahahaha

  • OMFG! A surprise pregnancy (if I remember, right?), and surprise twins!!! CRAZY!!! 

    I am glad your OB is not insisting on a c-section. I think most would do a vaginal birth if both babies are head down, and some would do a vaginal birth if at least baby A (closest to the cervix) is head down.  I was also glad to hear my OB tell me that twins is no indication that a c section is necessary. Obviously many other things can still come into play, but I am wishing you a H&H twin delivery, when the time comes!! 

  • Wow, what a surprise with the twins!  Congrats!  Try not to stress too much about the delivery at this point.  Just make sure when you're shopping OBs that you ask them about vaginal deliveries for the twins so you can get a vibe for how receptive they are to trying.  At the end of the day, remember that having a baby in a hospital and having to have a c-section are not failures.  Getting the babies out safely and keeping you healthy are the most important thing! 
  • Congrats!!!! I want some water!!! Please!! 
  • Congrats x2.  I'd take some of the water too!
