So I went in for my routine checkup yesterday. One of the items in the agenda was to discuss the results of the AFP test and the ultrasound, which I had done a couple of weeks ago. I looked down at the paperwork in front of me and saw the word "twin" written at the very top of the ultrasound results. I didn't think much of it at first because when they were doing the ultrasound, there were no signs that showed I was carrying more than one baby. Well, the doctor noticed this and said that it definitely looked like a mistake because the results on the ultrasound was only referring to one fetus. To confirm, she pulled out the ultrasound and we took a look at my little girl. She looked so cute! :) And she looked like she's grown! She was moving around and was very active. I actually feel her movements quite often in my tummy. Anyways, the doctor said that it appeared like there was only one baby and that the radiology department must have goofed. I'm hoping this was the only thing they goofed because everything else looked fine.
It was an interesting feeling, thinking for a split moment that you may be having twins. There was a feeling of slight elation at first, obviously. But when you start thinking of how much work would be involved with two, utter relief comes over you when they tell you there's just the one. Maybe we'd be fortunate enough to have twins the second time around but for now, we're just ecstatic with the little one on the way. I'm now half way there...
