A little background to cover all those questions everyone has been asking. No there are not twins in the family, we had some trouble getting pregnant so we were undergoing fertility treatments. The chance of multiples is increased during this process, although we still did not prepare ourselves for it (since we only had one last time). We found out that we were having twins by regular ultrasound at 7 weeks, they are fraternal twins which means that 2 eggs were fertilized they have their own sac and can be different sex. We left the hospital in total shock/silence, sat in our car for a while discussing how our life was going to change. Having already a 19 month old, our life is going to be busy!
I think the hardest thing we have had to deal with is getting a VAN! ha... I always think of Jon & Kate (Jon & Kate Plus 8) and what their reaction was to having sextuplets, like what did their car ride home sound like? We were thinking/talking,- we have to get another crib, another car seat, stroller, etc. But theirs I am sure was more like - how are we going to survive? ha.
Now that we have had several weeks to ponder, we are getting excited! We have our 18 week ultrasound in May and can't wait to find out the sex (hopefully), keeping my fingers crossed for at least one girl! :)
Maybe now I will be able to blog more as I have more to talk about.... including my size!! Already measuring 4 weeks ahead AHHH!!!!! (I guess it is normal, which no one know what is normal when you have 2, ah well.)
And thus another and main reason we had to give our dog away, we thought he didn't get enough attention with one kid......
