We had our first visit with the doctor on January 28th. We went in and were asked a bunch of questions about my family history and about any genetic disorders that our family might have had. Luckily for us we both come from a very healthy family and we have no genetic problems.
After that the doctor did a pelvic exam and did routine tests to make sure everything looked normal. We talked more about what kind of plan for birth we wanted and chose a doctor to see on our next visit. After much deliberation and me going back and forth I decided to see Dr Ali.
He is new to St John's OB but never the less I have heard many good reports about him. Since we were her last patient for the day she decided to do an ultrasound. She did mention that if we could not see anything to not freak out...... so with that said we started down the hall to the ultrasound room. Right away we could see our little "peanut" and were so glad! The heartbeat was there and looked nice and strong. But there was more than one in there so she decided to call in Dr. Hicks to get a better look. There were definately two sacs in there and Dr. Hicks said that it looked like we could be having twins. He did say that most women start with twins and one drops off. However, he did schedule us for another ultrasound this week to rule out that possibilty. Justin and I are shocked and excited but will be happy with whatever the Lord blesses us with.
