We are SO happy!!!! I can't tell you how excited I am about my little matched pair of boys, who will be spaced just slightly further apart than my girls. Although I always thought I would have three kids, I now cannot imagine my family any other way - two girls, two boys.
I told Henry, "you're going to have a little brother!" He was grinning and trying to say "brother." Then I said "you can play with your trucks together!" and Henry started furiously shaking his head ha ha ha! I'm sure he had no idea what I was talking about, but it made us laugh so hard.
In not so great news, we got confirmation today that I do in fact have vasa previa, which I have mentioned previously. It's a rotten deal, and I wasn't reassured by my OB's reaction and him repeating "this is going to be a challenge" and "you're in for a very long pregnancy" over and over again. But I am feeling at peace, and thanking God that it was caught early, which HUGELY increases our chances of everything being just fine. The biggest issue is my history of preterm labor that complicates things even more, and the perinatologist gave me about a 70% chance of going early again. So once we get to my third trimester we will constantly have to weigh the risks of having a preemie versus the risks of going into labor.
For now I am taking it one day at a time. Thankfully my second trimester comes with only a few limitations, so I can enjoy this time, knowing that there is a perfect and healthy little baby boy in my belly! He was so funny too - we could not get a single shot of his face. My ultrasound lasted almost an hour, and we got a good shot of all of his anatomy except anytime the ultrasound wand came near his face, he would turn or put his hand up so that we couldn't see his face. Love him!
