Today was the long awaited ultrasound
that we have all been waiting for. It was quite a morning as every thought of
what could be was rushing through all of our heads. We were all hoping for the
best but fearing for the worst and everything in between.
As we are getting ready Brett and I
meet each other at the bottom of the stairs and quickly realize that
we are wearing the same clothes! Dark blue jeans with gray and white stripped
shirts lol… Was this a sign? What ever it was it was a funny way to kick started
our day with a good laugh.
As we are driving out to Vancouver
for our appointment we are chatting about the last couple days that have lead
to some unfortunate fears. Raylene has had some spotting in the last couple
days that made all our minds go crazy. We once again hopped on the Internet
searching for answers and found everything from this is a sign of twins to the scariest
of conclusions. We all decided to stop searching for answers and trust that we
are deserving parents and that everything was going to be ok.
We pull into the underground parking
lot and I have once again those familiar feelings but x100… My heart was
racing so much I could have almost passed out. By the time we get
upstairs into the waiting area I can't stay still.. I go from sitting
in the chair, to sitting on the ground to walking around the lobby all while my
mind is racing and praying. I attempt to read a magazine but all I see is
images on the pages but can't take in the words. My mind is overcome
with the prospect of us being dads. Our heart, our soul, our mind want
this so bad and we don't want any results that
could interfere with that becoming a reality.
Shortly after arriving we got called
in to the ultrasound room. As we sit and wait it was the first time that day I
felt calm and at peace. I knew at that very moment that everything was going to
be ok even before we got the exciting news…Call it a sense, call it whatever
you want but it was truly special for me to feel what I feeling.
As Dr Taylor starts the ultrasound
she says there’s your TWINS! We all stay quite and don't say a word.. She had
to say it twice for us to actually comprehend this exciting news! As all our
eyes welled up including Dr Taylor's we all hear not only one strong
healthy heart beat but we hear two. Raylene is carrying two fraternal twins
which is so exciting because that means both embryos took.
This has been such a long road to get
to this point but hearing those heart beats made every second of all the ups
and down worth it. As we all sit in the room in aww we are mesmerized by each
beat of each of their beautiful hearts. I am so excited to watch them grow and
develop into perfect little loving siblings and additions to our family.
Dr Taylor shared her excitement with
us and we truly knew it was coming from the heart. This team has been so
genuine and supportive since day one and I am so happy I have them to help us
and guild us through this journey.
The support we have received over the
last two years has been endless and we could not be blessed with better friends
and family. Right from late last night to early this morning a steady flow of
text messages came through sending us thoughts and prayers for our big day. we
are blessed to have all of you and you have no idea what an incredible impact
you have had on our lives and we love and thank you for that.
I will end this entry with a note to
our little "Baby A" and "Baby B"
"Today we heard your hearts beat little ones and it
made your daddies so proud. It was as if our heart were all in sync. We have
wanted you for so long and today we were reassured you were growing and staying
strong. We cant wait to hold you, love you and share you to the world. Rest
well our little ones, your daddies can't wait to meet you. "
