I Am Not a Duplex
Well, one of the things that I did not tell the internet in my last two posts is that for a minute, we thought we were having twins. See, when we went to the doctor last Wednesday, it was discovered that my uterus (sorry men, you might want to stop reading now if you hate the word uterus) was bigger than expected. Fluffy, if you will. Some of the possible explanations given to me were: 1) miscalculated conception date, 2) nothing, 3) something extra in there, like a fibroid, and 4) something extra in there, like a twin. As in the beginnings of TWO human children. Their names? Oh and Crap.
Understandably, for the last few days Brandon and I really had to toy around with this twin idea. Could we do it? Would we be able to tag-team? Should we give one away? We finally realized that we would be fine, no matter what happened. So today, during the ultrasound, we got to see that we were only having one child and that it looked like this:
Fuzzy, yes. But isn’t it kind of cute in a gross way? And let me tell you… kid was FLAILING! Thank God I can’t feel anything yet.
Moral of the story is: no twins, no fibroids, no incorrect due date. All of this hullabaloo was due to the fact that I have a fat uterus. Are you really that surprised?
11 weeks
Just in case you do end up with twins – I hear Rob and Siri are looking for another baby, so, you could just give one to them. Rob will probably want the boy. Thank you for adding the weeks and before I forget, you can take a CD in to the ultra sounds and they will record it for you – no problem. Did you cry at the ultra sound?

| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoSo stinking cute!! I’m jealous…I have to wait another week for an ultrasound. Good work on growing the one kid and the fat uterus.
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoI’m only a little bit disappointed that you won’t be able to use one of the excellent pairs of twin names I came up with. Especially my very favorite: Britta and Brandon. Or another good one Sam at my office came up with: Britten and Branda.
C’est la vie.
| Posted 2 years, 10 months agoDewd! When I first saw that picture I thought you were joking because I guess I didn’t realize you could get such good little profile pics of 11 weekers! That’s so cute!!
Also – I can’t believe you’re already 11 weeks! This pregnancy is flying by already! i heart you sixty bill.
