Week 8: A Bittersweet Post

Hello, week 8!

This past week I have been feeling much more energized and feeling much better. I had an ultrasound today and we received some shocking, yet bittersweet news. One of the twins has vanished. We saw two full grown sacs (one just slightly smaller than the other), but only one healthy and thriving baby in one. It was a moment of sadness, yet one filled with excitement to still have one growing baby with a strong heart beat. I know S & B are saddened by this since it looks the baby vanished within the last two weeks, however, they reassured me that they are so thrilled to have their bundle of joy on the way. We ended our ultrasound skype with smiles and excitement, so all is well. I know that losing the twin was not because of something I did, but am very thankful that the other little bean was active and strong.

Silver linings: We get to do a gender reveal!, I won't be high risk and will be able to deliver as planned, this one baby will be beyond spoiled forever.

I have been so blessed to have the best intended parents who seem to put my emotions before theirs when they don't have to. I am looking forward to delivering this little boy or girl and watching an amazing family be formed <3
