I've just been informed that my clinic is ordering me to a hospital 250 miles away in Little Rock for a Level 2 ultrasound.  They said that since my twins are sharing a placenta, they want to screen for TTTS, or Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome.

Here's a link if you want to know what that is:

I am nervous and scared and trying my best not to be.  I've been having to take a lot of bedrest lately for spotting and contractions, and seeing as I am only 19 weeks, I (obviously) want things to go better and not worse!  I will do anything to bring my two little boys into the world healthy and safe.

More updates later.

.........does my head hurt so badly???????????????????????

*SOB*

Oh God, it's finally happening!!  I can remember doing this seven years ago with my first pregnancy.  I had hoped to avoid it this time..... the uncontrollable food cravings, for all sorts of terrible junk food....... and once I start eating, no desire to stop until I'm full!! 

It started yesterday, when I wanted.... no...... REQUIRED miniature chocolate donuts.  As in, RIGHT NOW.  Mind you, this is not a food I care a lot for when I am not pregnant. 

But I drove to the store in my sweats, with dirty hair and no make-up on, just to buy a bag.  When I returned home I ate the whole damn thing with a big glass of milk.  Ay yi yi.  But my god it was good.

This morning was no different, I polished off half a bag of potato chips and a jar of french onion dip.  I seemed to have no control over myself.

I am going to have to sit down and have a little talk with myself.  I am nearly 19 weeks and so far have gained only 15 pounds, which with twins is great.  If I keep eating like this though, I will become a beached whale and will be REALLY sorry later!!

*BURP*

I went to the hospital for an emergency ultrasound this morning, after calling the doctor with brown discharge for the fourth time in a week.

Thankfully, they found nothing wrong..... but could not tell me why I have been having the discharge.........

THE BABIES ARE PRECIOUS!!  TWO BOYS!!  Nick held my hand and I sobbed with happiness when they told us. 

They also noted that they are sharing one placenta, but are in two separate sacs.  No idea yet if they are identical or fraternal...

I am tired and REALLY want to go home......... but I want to go shopping, too!!  :D

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
