I found out I was having twins at almost 9 months pregnant!

I admit it was a bit shocking the day I felt hiccups in two seperate spots in my belly!
I had been feeling there might be two babies in my belly, and had talked with Jacob about it
numerous times...but...I agreed with him, that we would for sure know there were two when I
felt distinct hiccups in two seperate spots at the same time. Even as I felt it, I had a hard time
believing it myself. Jacob and I had felt we would have twin babies even before we married.
So... ever since Joan, I had wondered if there were two babies in my belly. Hence why we were
both reluctant to believe there really could be two in there.
However, this was definately a different and more difficult pregnancy right from the start. Plus, I had gained 50 lbs, which was most unusual for me and my pregnancy's. I was praying that this little chub would come EARLY!

So... all night, after I felt the hiccup's, I marveled and worried and wondered! I had to know truly
there were two! Especially, since Jacob and I were planning on having our 3rd VBAC Unassisted
Homebirth. I felt twins might change things a bit.
The next day, we got an ultrasound and then went for a 2nd witness from a midwife who had
two sets of twins herself. There were two different heart beats and looked like two chubby babies in there!
WOA!!! We felt a little overwhelmed! Extremely excited, but...scared.

To make matters even more exciting... I started having labor signs and felt... worried.
I had wanted so badly for this chub of a baby to come early and now I was repenting and
PRAYING the babies would stay until they were big and healthy enough to come.
Praise God they did... and thank you for all who prayed for us!

They came at 38 weeks, both healthy and strong! And you better believe I was talking to God
alot about "please let them be ready to come early, if you could," cuz man were they heavy!
