It's complicated

The pregnancy started out uncomplicated. I had the usual morning, noon, and night sickness, but besides that felt fine.  I was over the shock of carrying twins again, and started looking forward to feeling the babies move. It was around 16 weeks that I began having some mild contractions. I made an appointment with my midwife and I was found to be a finger tip dilated. Again, I was put on bed rest.  It was just short term they said until the contractions calmed down. I tried to keep myself busy while the kids were at school and Tom was at work. I read every book I could get my fingers on, watched any movie Tom brought home to me.  Ten days later I was off bed rest and we made a date with some friends to go out to dinner.
Just after we ordered dinner I got up to use the bathroom. The bleeding was unbelievable, I have never seen so much blood while I was pregnant. I was scared I was loosing the pregnancy. I left the bathroom, said I was sorry to our friends, and had Tom call the midwife. She told me to go home and rest. I put my feet up and feared getting up to the bathroom, I didn't want to move at the shear horror that I would lose the babies.  I went for an appointment the next day, the bleeding had slowed but I was still spotting. Susan again checked my cervix and said "let's get an ultrasound to see if the pregnancy is still viable". I remember thinking, this isn't just a pregnancy these are two little lives.
Tom and I went in to see if there was still a chance that the babies were growing and healthy. I held my breath during the scan. Sure enough, their was two babies, two strong heartbeat, everything checked out perfectly.
As I'm sure you have guessed (if you've been reading all my posts) I was yet again put on bed rest. At around 20 weeks I started feeling the babies move. They each had their own little ways to express themselves. We found out around this time that I was carrying a boy and a girl! It was exciting to also be carrying a girl. I had had four boys! Trevor cried at the thought of a son and a daughter  He went home after the news and thought hard about names. He decided on James and Paige. Beautiful names I thought, and fit the growing personalities that I was getting aquatinted with.  Trevor called me every day during the last weeks of pregnancy. I again was huge. I would never recommend having twin pregnancy's back to back. As you know I wasn't planning it. As for Tracy and Ken, they found another surrogate and went on the have one baby. Isn't life funny.
