Well just like the day I took my blood test I was able to sleep the night before but was so nervous and anxious all morning. We got up and got ready and then drove up to Idaho Falls for the appointment. When we got there luckily we were only 5 minutes early so it wasn't much of a long wait. Stephanie was ready for us and we were able to go right in. She asked me if I was ready and I said yes but also very nervous and she just laughed and told me it would be exciting. I used the restroom real quick and we headed in to start the ultrasound.
At first when she entered intrauterine I didn't see anything that looked like a baby, she assured me she was just checking my endometrioma and then we would get to the baby. As soon as she scrolled to the right I saw it there was a sack and a little tiny bean was in it. We had a baby growing in there, and then she kept scrolling and I saw another sack with a tiny bean. I laughed and then she said she needed to check to see if there were any more. There wasn't and she confirmed that we were having twins! The minute I heard baby A's heart beat I started to cry, I couldn't believe it, that was the best thing my ears have ever heard. She told me the baby was measuring right at 7 weeks and that the heart beat was 133 very good. She then measured the other baby and told me that Baby B was a little squished so it was harder to measure the baby. She did her best and told me it was measuring a little small but still where they wanted to see me. When I heard that second heart beat I could tell it was slower but she assured me that was normal. Baby B's heart beat was 122, but all I could focus on after hearing that was the fact that I wasn't have just one baby we were having TWINS!

She had me get dressed and then went and got me some paperwork, when she came back we scheduled my 9 week ultrasound which would be my last one with the clinic in Idaho Falls. After that I would go to my OB Dr. Jones. We were all scheduled for 8 am on August 5th, we left the clinic and began to call our family. My mom didn't waste anytime asking me what the news was, I made her tell me who was home with her and she informed me that it was just her and my sister Emily. I had her wake Emily up and on the way she forced me to tell her. She was so excited especially when it wasn't more than 2 haha. Emily wasn't happy that I woke her up but when she heard the news that quickly changed. I then called my dad and instantly I started to cry when I told him. We both got emotional and cried before he had to get back to work. Justin then called his mom and dad and more tears were shed. While he drove us back to Pocatello I called his sisters and our sister in law to share the news. Everyone was so happy!
When I got to work everyone was anxious to hear, I wanted to wait for everyone to be there but no one was patient haha. So I told them it was Twins and we all cheered! It has been so neat having so much love and support from friends and family. The Almond family will be growing by 4 feet March 10, 2017. (more than likely February since we're having Twins!)
