One, two, or three? Here's the answer!

Can you tell from the picture below? That's right, we're having twins! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Two beautiful strong heartbeats, two beautiful grape sized babies! Amazing and wonderful and a bit overwhelming. I think Shaun is in shock but he seems happy too. I am not shocked because I knew it was a very likely possibility. We have 7 months to get used to this idea so it will be okay. We are doubly blessed today for sure.

The midwife said she doesn't have any doubt that both babies are very healthy. As soon as she moved the ultrasound wand just a little bit I heard a second heartbeat and I knew there were two in there. I am very relieved it's not 3 since I've heard a few of those stories where one embryo splits and you end up with triplets. I definitely would have needed some time to adjust to that news. We've done twins before, we can do it again, right?

I won't be able to stay with the midwife but she gave me three recommendations for obstetricians who are willing to do things as naturally as possible, even with twin pregnancies so I will look into those options.
