Pregnancy
Well I’m finally at my computer for more then 10 seconds so I decided to update. Thanks so much for all the comments on our exciting news!!! 
You know that’s probably all I’m going to be talking about for the rest of my life so get used to it! 
I had a dream shortly after I found out that I was pregnant that we were having twins. I had never even thought about that possibility before so I found it kind of funny that I had a dream about it. I told Preston the next morning and he told me that he too had been having a feeling that we were having twins. We sort of laughed and he teased me about it for about a week and then that was about it. So we went in on Nov. 21st for our first prenatal visit and while sitting in the waiting room I said “hey honey, ya think they’ll find two heartbeats today?” Just kind of joking about my dream while trying to not worry too much about if there will even be a heartbeat at all. I was so nervous for some reason, I kept thinking what if I miscarried again and for some reason didn’t know it this time. Silly me.
So it’s my turn to see the doctor and I’m feeling sick to my stomach with worry. The last time I was there was for a check up after the surgery I had so I didn’t have good memories of that office. And just my luck, they put us in the same exact room that I was in when found out I had miscarried. So, the doctor comes in and does a pelvic exam and says “Wow, your uterus is definitely growing!” I didn’t think much of it. I was too busy praying for a heartbeat. So she starts the vaginal ultrasound and sort of sweeps the wand by once really quick and then kind of giggles. I’m like “uh… okay”. Preston says “Was that….” and has this look on his face. I’m like what the heck did I miss something? She points to baby #1 and there’s the heart beating perfectly and then there’s this second black spot next to the baby’s sac. So I say “What’s that?!?” Half expecting her to say “Oh that’s a cyst/tumor/giant hole” and she starts laughing and says “Well……..” pointing to baby #2 “…..you’re having twins!” I just start crying, Preston jumps out of his seat and starts hugging me and crying. It was awesome. I was in such shock. My crying quickly turned to laughing and I still laugh every time I look at the ultrasound picture (which is about 800 times a day). I still can’t believe it. They are so perfect and cute and I love them so much. They are both the exact same perfect, right on track size with excellent heartbeats.
I was more in shock that I was right, that my dream was right, than the fact that we were actually having twins. I feel so blessed. I feel like I don’t even deserve something so incredible. God just keeps on amazing me. What’s next?
So with two times the baby has come two times the “all day sickness”. It’s been really bad but it’s slowly getting better. I so tired. I sleep a lot and a lot of the time I feel kind of bad for it but then I have to talk myself into not feeling guilty and remind myself that my body is working on two babies. My jeans won’t button anymore. I bought a Bella Band this weekend to hold them up while they are unbuttoned. I love it, it’s such a great idea because I was having to wear belts with unbottoned jeans and long shirts. I’ve gained one pound so far. I was looking at my 4 week picture compared to my 9 week picture and WOW. I’m really showing. Maybe I’ll post a picture sometime soon. I’m not too keen on posting pictures anymore, as you could imagine.
Well anyway, I’m tired and I’ve got a horrible headache so I’m off to bed.

Thanks for the detailed update, Sarah. Enjoy these years (I know you do). You’ve got it all in front of you. Also, trippy on your premonition prowesses!

Thats soo cool that you had a dream about it. What sex are you hoping for? I have a twin sister and my parents dressed up alike all the time.

That is such a cute story!
I’ve heard A LOT of people (like my cousins) say they DREAMED about having twins the night before their ultrasound — Only to find out they really are. Isn’t that crazy? 
I’m so happy for you guys!

i’m soooo excited. eeeee. and the fact that you dreamed about it makes it even cuter. i can’t wait to find out the sexes!!!

Aww wow You know I never had a campage but I used to talk to this girl “jen” a long time ago, she had a little boy, met someone off a dating website, and actually married him. I actually played the sims with her for a while but we seemed to have lost touch for years now. Well what that intro was for, long story short, she used to have a webcam page and she had you linked. I used to browse all her links now and then out of boredom and I used to read yours a lot, your layouts were so cute. Anyway, typed that in a couple of weeks ago, (insydious.net) and found you here with so much changed! I guess all that was gosh, 4-5 years ago now??
Anyway, CONGRATS on the marriage! Double congrats on the twins!
And don’t hold back sharing your experiances w/ all your webby pals in photos just because of some copy-cats (I would be freaked out too tho, I’m not saying to not be freaked out)
But maybe just edit them all with tags across them, maybe across your face? so that people can not cut/crop. We don’t care about your face :P We wanna see the wittle babes!
How cool would that be to post a belly shot once a month for 9 months! (even if private family only!)
Anyway, just wanted to say congrats, (had to give a lil history on how I “know” who you are even tho I never had a cam-page or anything) and tell ya to not let those freaks get you down!

xoxox
I wish that babies and mum are healthy and happy.

Sarah you have to post belly photos!! Just tag them so losers cant steal them! I posted all mine for my baby #2 and it was amazing to see the size of me every week and how different they were from week to week!
I’m so excited for you I even told my fiance. I was like “this girl I have been reading her blog for years now had a terrible miscarriage and just now found out shes having TWINS… TWINS!” I was like dramatic about it lol… I have two kids like I’ve posted about before, mind you they are 3 years apart so I dont really know what its like to have 2 babies at once but I’m praying for you ! I’m sure it will be an amazing ride and you’ll be amazing at it!
I hope the sickness doesnt get too bad. With my first it wasnt so bad, but with my 2nd I think it went away in the 2nd trimester for a month then it was back in full force… awful awful!

the same thing happened to me and my husband when i was pregnant. we both dreamt i was having a girl and i did. it’s crazy when dreams come true. maybe your next dream to come true will be the sex of the babies. do you even want to know? or do you want it to be a surprise? well i hope the sickness goes away soon, i know how much it sucks, but it’s probably worse with twins. congrats again on the twins!

Awww, that’s so cute :blush: Your babies are defiantly going to be perfect with a pretty mum like you
November 29th, 2006 02:09 pm

Hi Sarah - Well, I’ve been a ‘fan’ for about 5 years now I guess it must be, maybe a little more, and I’ve never posted a comment, but I couldn’t let this big occassion go by without joining in with everyone else to say a huge ‘Congratulations’ to you and Preston. It’s awesome news, and even though I’m a complete stranger who lives on the other side of the world in N.Z, I feel really happy for you. Children are the most amazing thing in the world, and I’m stoked for you.
Take care, and I will eagerly read all updates on your/their progress.
