I look at the calendar and see today I hit 13 weeks pregnant. One more week until my second trimester. No more morning sickness. Yay!
Cory and I had officially moved in, and my parents and I weren't talking much, only when we had too. Like today I would call them and tell them how the babies were doing and such.
"Ready to go babe?" Cory says, peeking his head into my room.
I smile "Yeah, let's go!"
We were headed off to see what gender our babies were. I was secretly praying for them to both be girls. I think Cory wanted them to be one girl and one guy.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Okay, I see one of them. Let's get a closer look here." Says the doctor.
I nod, and she zooms in on the video screen.
"It looks like it's a... girl!"
I smile, at the screen, and then look up at Cory.
"A little girl! Can we see the other one now?"
"Of course" Says the doctor, moving the sonogram across my stomach. Then another baby shows, and I can't help but smiling, seeing it's a girl.
"A girl! Julia and Jocelynn! Yay!"
"My two baby girls." Cory says smiling, and taking my hand.

"Hey mom?" I say, in the car on my way to Home Depot with Cory.
"Oh, hey Aubrey. So, how are the babies doing?"
"Well. They're both girls! We're on our way to Home Depot to get some paint."
"Oh, what theme are you going for?"
"The colours are going to be pink, white and black. I'm so excited!"
It felt weird talking to my mom, but I think I was finally getting over what had happened. I mean, my mom had tried to make it up to me. My dad, wasn't talking to me that much.
So, a few minutes later, when we walked into Home Depot, I found myself lost in the world of room designing.
I mean, we had to find the right blankets to go with the right shade of pink for the walls! We decided that the furniture would be white, main colour would be pink and black accents.
"Woah. I never knew there was this much shopping to do for babies." Says Cory while we wait for the worker to go get a can of white paint, so we can paint the girls names on the wall.
"Oh honey. This is just the beginning. We have clothes, diapers, car seats, strollers, and toys still!" I say, just as the worker walks up, handing us the can of paint.
We thank her, and begin to the check out area.
"Yeah, I was thinking. We could get like those double strollers, that people with twins use! Then we would only have to spend for the price of one!" Cory says, handing the check out lady his parent's credit card. (They let us carry it around for buying baby items)
"That would be great. But now, let's go home, and start decorating!" I say with a smile.
"Right. Of course!"
. . . . A Week Later . . . .
"Cory. There are instructions for a reason." I say, handing him the instructions to put the cribs together.
"Pshh! Instructions are for losers! I mean seriously. How hard can it be to build a crib? Honestly Aubrey. I'm amazed you still doubt me." Cory says, jokingly.
"Fine," I say, putting my hands up "I'm going to make lunch, and I'll be back here in half an hour!"
"Okay, but be pre-pared to be amazed by my amazing building skills!" I hear Cory say, as I walk out of the room.
I was a few days into my second trimester, and I must say, it was nice not wanting to puke all day long.
Yesterday we had a painter come in and paint both of the girl's rooms. All pink, with Julia on a wall in one room, and Jocelynn on a wall in the other.
As I begin to spread the peanut butter on the bread, I get thinking. What if. What if I had never met Cory? Jake never cheated on me? I had never went to that party? I look down at my stomach, and then push all those thoughts out of my mind. I was happy with the two girls I had.
Sorry about not updating, I have had major writers block, and couldn't write! Also, I have been sick for the last few days, I think I have a flu bug. Anyways, I'll try to update as soon as possible!
