Hearing the news - IT'S TWINS!!

When I found out I was pregnant, my husband and I were THRILLED. We had been trying for quite a few months and were one more OB/GYN appointment from going on Clomid. Not to mention the fact that I was sick (and tired) of people telling me to just relax.... "You have one child already so clearly you're capable of having a baby. Just relax and it will happen faster than you can imagine." UGH. I heard that so many times it was driving me CRAZY!! In fact, I was so stressed about people telling me to relax, that it's amazing that I did get pregnant.

Anyway, I was half way through my pregnancy when we went in for our 20 week ultrasound. I had been talking with a friend of mine at a neighborhood BBQ the previous day and we were joking about how I was gaining weight so quickly and just still feeling really tired, etc. She casually said, "You sound like I did and I was having twins!!"....Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha we all responded. After that conversation, my object for the ultrasound had changed from "tell me what gender it is" to "confirm for me that there's only one baby in there?!?!?"

The ultrasound tech was very calm and scanned to the right and scanned to the left with basically no comments or expression. Then she very calmly announced, "Looks like your friend was right. It's TWINS!!" She then immediately asked the assistant to call up to my doctors office and let them know I was going to be late for my OB appt which was scheduled for immediately following the ultrasound. The tech looked at me and said, "You're going to be there a while. We have two babies to scan."

That 30 second conversation changed our lives forever..... for the better ofcourse!!
