We had our first ultra sound today and you are seeing that picture correctly... we are having TWINS!!!!! Baby A is a girl and baby B is a boy!!!! It all started out very normal. The tech gooped up my belly and used the wand thingy to rub the gel all around but she stopped right away and turned to me to ask... "Has anybody told you anything yet?" My heart instantly sunk and i almost started crying. I answered "no". The tech smiled and said "well there is two in there". I instantly started crying and shaking... i looked over at Mike who was standing at my feet. He had apparently seen the two heads pop across the screen and he was grinning from ear to ear! It was an amazing moment for the both of us! In a matter of seconds our lives have changed forever but in an exciting scary way!
The ultra sound took forever b/c Baby B was sitting on top of his sister making the techs life very hard to get good shots of her. Over all we were in the room for almost 2 hours! The tech said by what she saw they both look very healthy. Baby A's heart rate was 128 BPM and Baby B was 141 BPM. One of them measured 19 weeks 2 days gestation and the other was 19 weeks and 5 days... unfortunately we didn't find out who was who.
It was so exciting to see our babies for the first time! We got to see Baby's B little face but he was being a camera hog hahaha! The tech went through their entire anatomy from kidneys to heart to bladder. It was amazing what they can see when they are that small! Unfortunately since baby B was hogging the camera we will have to go back to get the rest of Baby A's anatomy. Hopefully our little girl will beat her brother up a little and get her moment in the spot light!!! While the tech was performing the ultra sound it was amazing how much they were both moving and how much i could feel.
The whole experience will be something Mike and i will never forget! Its still a little surreal but we are starting to wrap our head around it! I cant wait to share more i am sure we will have lots to share!

mommy, Daddy, Baby A & Baby B!!!
What a total mindblower! I wanted to call after your text but my phone was out of batteries. It is so unfair that you get two kids out of one pregnancy! K and I will have to start ALL over again to get a girl! Congrats x2! (LAD is tomorrow night-We will understand if you decide to save the cash instead of eating dinner-Diapers are gonna cost alot!!!)
