and then there were five

We went to see Dr. Magnussen on Friday, February 12 and she confirmed that we were 8 weeks pregnant! When we went back on Monday, March 15... she wasn't convinced. 
"You seem big for 13 weeks..."
Heart monitor wasn't reading anything...
"Let's do an ultrasound."
"Yep, that's what I thought."
**WHAT?! something wrong?**
"Nope. Here's your baby." *thump thump thump x 161* (SIGH of JOY)
"...aaannd, here's your OTHER baby." *thump thump thump x 155* (GASP)
say wha?
TWINS. oh. my. goodness. 

There were tears and laughter as we continued looking at our twin babies. One had the hiccups, the other very calm. We believe there are two placentas, so that would make them fraternal twins rather than identical. And they both seem very healthy and fairly equal in size and heart rates. Our due date is September 18, 2010.
