" Hey baby, it's time go," Zach shook me awake.
I slowly got up and stretched. My stomach started showing about a month ago. I've been even more sleepy and I've throwing up every morning. At least I'm getting a baby out of this. It's totally worth it in the end.
" Okay, can you help me put my shoes on?" I sat on the bed while Zach got my shoes.
He has been so patient and kind lately. I think he is going to be an awesome father. As far as I can tell, he is just as excited as I am.
" Are you excited to see the baby for the first time?" I asked. I am super excited.
" Yes! I want to know if it is a boy or a girl. I want to know if it is healthy. I have so many questions!" He hopped up and down.
" Me too. This is going to be really fun," I said.
He put my shoes on and helped me up. I walked to the front door and he followed. He had his phone, my phone, and the car keys.
We drove all the way there saying baby names we liked. We settled on a boy and a girl name. If it is a boy, it is going to be called Jack. If it is a girl, it's going to be called Izzy.
We walked in the care center hand in hand. We went to the front desk and they told us where to go. We walked down the long hallway and waiting for the nurse. I looked at Zach and he looked really nervous. He sat down and looked at the floor.
" It's going to be okay, I promise," I said. He smiled and I smiled back.
The nurse came in with a clipboard in hand.
" Hello, how are we today?" She asked.
" Just fine, thank you," I smiled.
" Okay, this is your first baby appointment so this is a good time to ask questions. Maybe about the babies health or any personal questions," she sat down in a role chair.
" Well, we want to know what the gender of the baby is. And of course the health and anything that I need to consider," I said.
" Well, let's start with if you smoke, drink or any of that stuff," she replied.
" No, I haven't for a couple years," I said.
" And do you think it was an addiction or just a special occasion?" She asked.
" Just a special occasion. I went to a party and had a drink," I said.
" Okay, well let's move on to your blood pressure," she got up and wrapped the thing around my arm. " So, do we know when you started wondering if you were pregnant?" The thing around my arm kept pumping.
" Just about 2 months ago," I replied.
" Oh, okay so a little more than 2 more months till your second trimester," she looked at the results and smiled. " You are very healthy and fit," she said.
" Um, I'm sorry, what is a trimester?" Zach asked.
" Well, it's basically a checkpoint for your baby. Around 12 weeks is your first trimester. This means that your baby has grown and is still growing. This means your baby will not pass away after this checkpoint," she began. " There are 3 total trimesters that a mother has to go through before the child is born. The second trimester comes around the 26th week. The last one, is from that point until birth," she said.
" Okay, I am new to this whole thing," Zach said.
" You can get a couple pan-flits from our front office to help you learn how to be a father. What a kid really wants more than anything is to know that their parents love and support them. You will grow a bond with your baby that way and it will make the teenage years a little easier," she said. " Okay, on to the what the baby looks like. Now, the baby is going to be small at first, but it will grow and turn into a healthy baby," she smiled.
She helped me relax and got out this weird machine thing. She turned off the lights and she lifted my shirt. She put some cold gel on my stomach and moved it around. She turned on the monitor and put a rod to my stomach and moved it around. An image popped up on screen that was black and white. I smiled and held Zach's hand.
" Oh, what's this," she said. She moved the rod around some more and smiled.
" Looks like you're not just getting one child," she smiled.
" Oh my god! We have twins!" I laughed. Zach looked surprised, but still smiled brightly.
" Congratulations! Sadly, it looks like it is a little early to tell the genders but I will go print out your pictures," she clicked a button on the machine and it spit out a paper. It was the clear print out of the 2 babies.
" This is amazing!" I laughed.
She turned off the machine and turned the lights back on. She sat back in the role chair and wrote in her clipboard.
" If you have anymore questions, this is the time to ask," she smiled.
" Well, I am wondering about how many checkups I should have during the pregnancy," I said.
" You can have as many as you want. We usually tell our soon to be mothers that we want to see them at least once every trimester. If there is a problem you might be having, see me as soon as possible. There is nothing to worry if something something goes wrong. We are here to make sure your baby will be nice and healthy to enter the world,"
I smiled and sat back up. " Thank you," I said kindly.
I think it eased both of our conscience to have a check up. I'm so excited we are going to have a baby. I got off the seat and shook her hand. Zach also stood up and did the same thing.
" Thank you so much for informing us," Zach said.
With that we walked back to the office and made another checkup date. It is few weeks from now. We walked out with smiles on our faces. This might not be as hard as I thought it would be.
I slowly made my way in the car and Zach took the drivers seat. We went to sonic to order a snack. I think I earned it for lugging 2 babies around in my stomach. I think the hardest thing to deal with is the cravings. Zach realizes that and he has been much more understanding. He is going to be a great father.
