What a difference one year makes. Last year on fathers day we found out about a wonderful present. Or should I say Presents. I was at work and Marc went up to his parents house to see his dad for father's day. I had woken up at 445 that morning with a pain in my side and just didn't worry too much about it. The pain didn't get any better throughout the morning and into the afternoon. I ended up calling my doctor and she told me to go into the ER to have an ultrasound to check everything out. I knew that I was pregnant, so they were thinking that it might have been a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy. I was petrified. I cried all the way to the hospital. I was talking to Marc and explaining to him what was going on.
My mom met me over there (thank God!) and we waited a bit for them to be able to get me back for an ultrasound. I finally got back there and my bladder was about to explode! They did the ultrasound and said that they could see a small cyst on my left ovary and that should be the cause of my pain.
The ultrasound tech then asked me if I had twins in my family. (I didn't think anything about it. the monitor was turned away from me.) I looked over at mom and was answering her and saying that yes, my mom was a twin. As soon as I turned back around, I saw it on the screen. Or should I say, I saw them on the screen. Two perfect little sacs. Two perfect little babies. I never knew that one moment could change your life so fast that your head is spinning.

I then called Marc because he was worried about me. I told him Happy Father's Day and he was insisting that I tell him how the baby looked. I told him that everything was good, everything was in the right place, and that the babies looked good. He said, "Whew! Wait did you just say BABIES?" I told him yes that we were having twins! He was excited and he said I had to tell his mom because she wouldn't believe him. Well what a difference a year makes. We have three wonderful boys instead of just having one. I wouldn't trade the boys for all the money in the world!
