We had our first Dr.'s appointment yesterday and it was also very exciting. We learned even more than what we had already researched and got to spend good time with the Dr. She is very young and energetic and seems genuinely excited for us. We talked about all the steps that we will have to go through and all the changes that will take place. That's when it really sank in for us. Betsy and I both got a little misty eyed and the Dr. smiled and reaffirmed that everything looks great.
Because it was late in the day, the phlebotomist and the sonographer were both gone from the Dr.'s office. The Dr. could sense our eagerness to see the baby and went ahead and ordered an ultrasound through the main hospital. We left the Dr.'s office (almost sprinting) and signed in at the main hospital. After the blood was drawn the sonographer took us into the room to do the ultrasound. She put the "jelly on the belly" and began to give us our first look at our new pride and joy.
To say that we were shocked after first seeing our new one would be a huge understatement. We were both lost for words and statements and even facial expressions. We found out that there's 2 babies and not just one. I told Betsy it was the same feeling as when she told me that I was going to be a father and she said that it was the same feeling for her after she took 3 pregnancy tests. What an even more exciting time for us as well as all of the family and friends.We had a great time last night breaking the news to family and friends. Most of the reactions were the same, happy that we were having a baby and shocked that we were having twins. We are so excited about this time in our lives and can't wait to share everything with family and friends.
The original projected due date for one baby was December 10th. Now that it's twins, the due date is "out the window" and could be anywhere in the month of November.
Bets is feeling fine, a little nauseous and tired, but so excited about everything that's happening.
We'll update this info as much as we can with new information and what's going on.
Talk to you soon,

Excited? Happy? Shocked? It's "yes" to all of those things, but mostly, I feel absolutely wonderful to be blessed with TWO grandchildren !! Jeremy and Betsy will be the "best ever" parents too. Betsy, I think that it's my fault because some years ago, I may have uttered these words to Jeremy, "I hope that you have twins because of all of the shenanigans that you have pulled!" (He does deserve them !!)
Seriously, I can hardly wait until they are born !!!! What a fabulous Thanksgiving and Christmas that we'll have with those 2 little sweeties !!
Thanks to you both for giving me this honored blessing !!
Congratulations! You will be the greatest parents!
