Hello ladies,
I just found out Monday that I'm going to have another baby. (I already have a nineteen month old daughter). Well, after a little scare last night, I had to go to the ER due to some bleeding. I'd never had any bleeding in my first pregnancy, so I thought better to be safe than sorry. They did an ultrasound and found that I am carrying twins!! What a total shock, as we know of no twins on either side of our family. I am a little dumbfounded at the moment. We were already bursting at the seams in our house, but with one new baby it would still be manageable. With two, we now know that a move is the only solution. And to make matters even more interesting, our insurance doesn't cover maternity - at all. So understandably, we are feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.
I'm wondering who else here on the board is/has carried twins, did you have to find a bigger house, etc? I guess I'm looking for some coping mechanisms as I adjust to the idea. But please, don't get me wrong - this is a wonderful surprise that I wouldn't trade in a million years. I went to the hospital thinking I may be losing my baby, and instead I found out we'd been doubly blessed!
Thanks for listening!!
