A BIG Day

Literally.

I prepped last night starting with 3 glasses of wine, followed by no sleep, followed by a severe case of hives, followed by a dose of steroids (which made it impossible to sleep), followed by a dose of Benadryl (which made it impossible to wake up), followed by 3 cups of coffee, 4 outfit changes and 1 short cry.

Today was the date of our 22 week scan.

Today was also the date I set for telling my boss about our extra-curricular activities.

Approximately 15 minutes prior to leaving for work we got "the email." I did the quick one eye scan and saw that everything looked fine. I did the thorough enlarge 500% view and saw that again, everything looked fine. I read each word of the report and concluded that yes, everything looked fine. I finally read the text of the email.

"there is a discrepancy between the twins. However,it is less than two weeks. Please note that there is nothing to worry about and we need not to do any thing further in this matter at this stage of pregnancy."


Now, ironically, I was on the path of no worry... when wham I am told not to worry, which of course causes me to become worried because I can't figure out what I am supposed to not be worrying about!

As usual, Dr. S was quick to quell my fears. Apparently, there is nothing to be worried about (there was just the anticipation that I might be worried-- imagine that) as we are beyond the stage at which point a discrepancy could mean something "worrisome."

Indeed, we just have some big babies!

Twin I is measuring 22 weeks 6 days (1.15 lb) and Twin II is measuring 24 weeks 3 days (1.5 lbs).

We could not be more thrilled!

Let's just say the big work announcement went very similar-- much worry, realization that everything will be fine, big relief. More details to come... just as soon as I get a good night's sleep!
