Pregnant!

So, I know it has been a long time since I have posted, but I have been a little busy, and a lot of things have gone on since my last post.  First off, Tom and I found out that we were expecting.  We were excited and overjoyed...Skyler was REALLY happy.  Then I had my first pre-natal appt.  The beginning went smoothly, until we got to the ultra sound.  Now let me back up a bit.  When we first found out that I was pregnant, I had explained it to Skyler.  He was happy, but it wasn't enough for him.  He had told me that he wanted me to have two babies in my tummy!  But I laughed and and said, "oh no honey, mommy is only going to have one baby in her tummy!"  So when I was laying on the table, waiting for the ultra sound to begin, I was joking with the doctor about what Sky had said, and how crazy that would be if it really was twins!  Well, She started the ultra sound, and said to me, "Well, I'm seeing something interesting here," as she turned the monitor my direction, "I am seeing two little images on the screen."  I was shocked! I honestly could not believe it.  I mean, I was totally kidding about having twins, but there they were.  The doctor then proceeded to tell me that there was a problem.  The two are sharing the same amniotic sack.  It is called monoamnionic/ monochorionic.  Or momo twins.  Which also means that they are identical.  With this type of pregnancy, there are several complications.  Since there is no barrier, later in pregnancy, the twins can become entangled in each others cords, which obviously is very dangerous, or the cords can become knotted or crimped, cutting off oxygen and blood flow, resulting in fetal death.  This is a very rare pregnancy.  About 1 in 35,000.  All of this is very scary.  I will be seeing a specialist tomorrow morning in Eugene.  I will be seeing this doc regularly.  If things continue at such a high risk, I will be hospitalized at 28 weeks, kept on strict bed rest, and have the babies delivered between 32 and 35 weeks, depending on the urgency and situation of the twins.  I know there are tons of people praying, and Tom and I appreciate that more than anything else.  This is going to be a very difficult time, but I know that God will watch over these babies.  If no barrier is created, then we will all be praying that they will stay untangled, and remain healthy.  My due date is Oct. 5, but they will be born probably the end of August.  Please keep praying for these babies.  It is the best thing we can do right now.
I will try to keep everybody updated with phone calls, and definitely with my blog.  It has been kind of hard to be motivated lately because I have been so sick and tired, but I think that I may be turning a corner, or that maybe today was just a little better than the others.  Either way, I will try my hardest to spend 15 minutes at least, after appts, to update everyone.  I will also post ultrasound pics as soon as I can.  Again thank you for your prayers and support! Have a blessed day!
