The Day I Lost 2 Months of My Life
That was SERIOUSLY me when this happened….
I have had very few doctors appointments with this baby. Insurance and changing doctors and such has made it so I only have had 2. This most recent trip to the dr was to my new dr. I am so happy I changed because this one is way more knowledgeable. Well I went in to the office and The Dr. started feeling my stomach after we chatted for a bit about my family and past pregnancies. As he was feeling he asked me how far along I said I was. I told him “just over 3 months.” He said, “you are not just 3 months.” I said “how far along am I?”
What he told me next rocked every plan I have had for the next few months. He told me I was about 5 months along. I was totally like “what you talkin’ bout willis?” inside my head. I said “there is no way…” He said, “well, when a man and a woman…” I said ” that isn’t what I mean!” So he said, the other option is twins. So we went and did an ultrasound. I was excited because it was the first time I was really going to see my baby.
Sure enough as he looked around, there was only 1. I am 2 more months along then I thought I was!!!!! That to me didn’t mean YA!!!!!! that to me was like…. what?? I had so many plans in those 2 months that I now have to squeeze into the rest of the months before the baby comes. We need clothes, a bouncy seat, nursing supplies…. EVERYTHING!!!!! I also need to get my daughter out of her crib and into a bog girl bed so we have no issues with jealousy and climbing into the crib. I had plans to try to get her potty trained too, but I have had to let that one go.
I can honesty say that I am a little shocked. We don’t know the actual due date yet, I will find out next week and get some pictures for you to see. I am getting more used to the idea now, but I had almost wished he had told me twins at the time rather then you just lost 2 months of your life. So over the next couple months I will be doing a big clean out and move around of the 1 bedroom the 4 kids will be sharing.
Any volunteers to come help me????
Would love to come and help but I have my hands full with my boys! Just think – 2 months of your life lost, but 2 months of your baby’s life gained! Enjoy.
