First off let me start by telling you to sit down.
Are you sitting?
Well, do it.
Okay.
Here goes.
My husband and I were done having babies. Like, no more, I have 6, that's a good number right?
Can you see where this is going? No wait. It gets better.
So around the beginning of Oct I'm waiting. You know, the wait. Then the sigh where you are not pregnant because you've started. You know you do it. Even when you are using a BC that is 99% effective, you sigh, with relief. Well, that didn't happen. I went to the next door dollar store to get a pregnancy test, to calm my anxious heart. Peed on it, and lo and behold. 2 lines. Totally blindsided.
So on Friday the 22nd, I had gotten my head wrapped around the idea of having #7. I was feeling okay about it, really crappy otherwise, but I even felt okay enough to tell a few good friends. Then I started bleeding. Funny thing was, I wasn't devastated like I was with our other miscarriage. Then I got really sick. Like pneumonia sick. I have never been that sick before in my life. Worst part was having to get my family ready to go on this trip to CA we had been planning for 6 months. I couldn't move. Getting up to go to the kitchen took all the strength I could muster. So Trent got us ready, packed up in the car and on the way. I spotted on and off the entire trip. I just kept my appt with my new midwife, for when we got back.
SO here we are today. My appt was at 9. Packed kids up to go to GMA's they are off track, went in for my appt. She decides to to an ultrasound. Funny thing is, she kept saying, uh oh, and oh no. I just thought she saw a baby with no heartbeat. I thought I had miscarried I was expecting it.
Turns out, the uh oh and oh no's were because she found 2 babies. 2 heartbeats. 2 sacs. We are having twins.
Weird hu?
Now top that?

Congratulations! That is twotally cool! You will do fine because you are an amazing mom!
I love the way you announced it. ;-) I'm curious when your midwife will schedule your next ultrasound. I think the news is wonderful and I will put together my stuff to see what I have to send to you
I also cannot top that one! Crazy!!! You will be an amazing mother to 8. I just thought for sure number 7 was going to be your lucky number! :) Congratulations! Your little babies are very lucky to have you as their mom!
Oh Kelli! I don't know whether to laugh or cry!!
You will handle this beautifully, no doubt. God must have a ton of confidence in you!
You are an amazing person! Love all you do and hope you realize the wonderful things you do. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Wow! That is so crazy! But you will do such a great job. I'm so glad that if the Lord is going to give a mom that many children that He is giving them to YOU! I seem to remember you commenting in one of your other pregnancies that you were thinking you might have twins. Anyways, SO happy for you all!
Holy SMOKES BATMAN! Are you kidding. haha you thought you were done and he said....well better give ya the last two quick! Congrats you are such a great mom, although this might be a challenging time you will embrace it and enjoy it.
Congratulations that is so crazy. My kids are so jealous, when they found out I was pregnant the first thing they said was, I hope it is twins.
I don't know how I missed this post, but I did. Super-duper-exciting (and I'm sure more than a little scary!), you're an amazing mother! All those kiddos are so lucky to have you! Congratulations!
