Yes, that’s right. Twins. And then there were two.
Had the 2nd ultrasound this morning. It went well, and I was much happier with the nice woman who actually did it. She immediately found the first one, and we got to both see and listen to the heart beat (115 bpm). It measured 6 weeks, 4 days, which gives me an “official” due date of September 1, 2007.
Then she found the other one. The second one was (I think) a hair larger, and had a heart rate of 127 bpm. There are two distinctly separate sacs, so they are almost definitely fraternal. I have pictures of both, I’ll scan them when I get home.
Not surprisingly, I laughed when she showed me the two side by side. At least she understood why I was laughing.
Holy crap! Really?? Two?? I hardly even know where to begin. My husband is freaking out. He’s beside himself with excitement (this had been his hope, all along), and is going to pop if he doesn’t tell someone. But I *really* don’t want to tell anyone right now. One or two people know, but I don’t want to tell our parents. I’m super super excited too, but I’m also now doubly nervous. I’ve seen a heartbeat before and lost it, so now I keep thinking I have the chance to lose two. I mean, I really really hope that I don’t, but I’m still really nervous.
Oh please oh please oh please oh please let them stick!!
That’s as much of a coherent thought as I can string together right now. Perhaps I’ll post again later when I calm down. Ha. As though that will happen…
Congratulations!! and try not to worry! *sticky baby dust times 2 for you* !! When we werent telling anyone I found it somewhat satisfying to tell random people in the public. I was able to tell the world without telling the people I knew quite yet! Congrats again!
Hey, strangers aren’t a bad idea.
Twins!!!!!!! Holy crap!! I can’t believe it. I’m so happy for you four!
Whoa.. four.
Congratulations
