13 week ultrasound-very strange.

So, I have been looking forward to this ultrasound for what seems like forever! When I went to see Dr. Mattatall a month ago she told me about vanishing twin syndrome. Where one twin dies early in the pregnancy and is absorbed by the other twin or the mother. I could tell she was being cautious and didn't want to get my hopes up until after my 13 week ultrasound showed both babies were okay.

So, today I picked up Devaughn from work with plenty of time to get to our ultrasound appointment. I put the address in our Navi and off we went. To make a long story short, once we arrived at the address, we realized I put in NW in the navi and not NE where we were suppose to be. So, I called the ultrasound place to let them know what happened and we were going to be 15 minutes late. Well, that was a huge inconvenience for them and the receptionist had to check with the ultrasound tech. to see if they would still do it. Wow, really? She told me to still come and they may or may not be able to do it. We finally made it there, and this place was in the most random part of the city in a Chinese strip mall. We get inside and I can tell everyone is annoyed with me. Then this Indian man comes out and tells me it's my turn, so Devaughn and I stand up and he looks at Devaughn and says, "you can't come." ODD. I go back, get undressed from the waist down and have that gross paper over me. He pulls it down way too low if you ask me and starts the ultrasound. He says nothing for the next 10 minutes and I can't see the screen so I finally say, "are they both okay?" and he says, "I'll tell you in a minute." So, now I have tears streaming down my cheeks and I am convinced something is wrong. Until 10 minutes later when he tells me everything is good. SO WEIRD. I ask if I can have a ultrasound picture, he says no and it basically ends there.

I am so happy they are both good but what a terrible day. I am never going back to that place.
