Hidden Baby #2 Blog: January 6, 2011

I'm just going to say it...we are having twins. Identical twins.

We had our ultrasound this afternoon, and we noticed both babies fairly quickly. They were measuring exactly the same (7w 3d) and we heard their heartbeats. Everything looks really good.

We are still reeling from the news. Excited and terrified, and just trying to let it soak in. Having one surprise baby this early after having Benton was definitely guaranteed to change things. Now two. Wow.

We have another appt with our OB on January 18th. We will also have an ultrasound at that appointment. Additionally, we will have an appointment with Dr. Stanley, a perinatologist/maternal-fetal medicine specialist, sometime this month. Dr. Stanley will be looking at all the details of the identical twins (placenta, amniotic sac, etc).

We'll keep you updated!
