Double Surprise!

Two years ago, my husband and I were told because of a condition he had, pregnancy would be impossible.

Funny, I'm now currently 14 weeks pregnant.  And we couldn't have been more surprised. 

But there's more.  During the first ultrasound, we discovered that I too had a unique condition that was going to make the current pregnancy & any future pregnancies really interesting:  I have uterus didelphys.  In laymen's terms, I have a double cervix & a double uterus.

We had already known that this pregnancy was going to be high risk, because I have only 1 kidney (yep, at this point, I realize I'm like a Fairy Princess, a Mermaid, and a Unicorn rolled into one!).  That makes me about 1 in 3,000.  But the fact that I got pregnant is a miracle.

So after talking to doctors, specialists, and doing my own research online, I realized that there wasn't much positive out there about Didelphys pregnancies.  And I thought I would try and give a little bit of hope to what ever woman finds this blog.

As a whole, my pregnancy has been completely "normal".  Or at least as normal as you can get with a double uterus.

I mean, isn't this little one not just the cutest thing in my body ;-)?

In 2 weeks, Hubby & I will be finding out what the baby is, boy or girl (and no, we don't care as long as the baby is healthy).

And no matter what surprises my body decides to throw at us, I couldn't be happier.

So here is to a unique journey, one that we were told never to expect.
