Whaaaaaaaaaaat!

This is how the day started off. I should have noted it as a preview of things to come. Those are strong girls - pulling their beds apart like that!

But I have a story to tell. A couple months ago, while Eden was in preschool, I decided to swing by Walgreens with Ava. I only needed one thing and it was urgent. Even though it was raining I dragged Ava into the store with me. Ava rode in the big basket part of the shopping cart. So there she sat, in her throne, while I wheeled us over to grab my item and quickly stood in line to pay.

Luckily there was one little old lady in front of us. "Should be quick," I thought. But it wasn't. The cashier needed to locate the price on this lady's purchase and blah blah blah. So the old lady's attention quickly turned to Ava. They talked all about Ava's dress, Ava's purse, Ava's lip gloss (which she is constantly applying). Then the conversation between the old lady and Ava evolved into what a good helper she was to her momma while shopping. Ava proudly held up my one item in the basket for the old lady to behold.

"Oh!", the lady said, and quickly looked up at me with bugged out eyes.
"You think another one?!" - she asked me.

Yes, my one item was a pregnancy test. "Uh, well, I guess that's what we will soon find out," I replied with a forced grin. I didn't like my business discussed. I mean my husband didn't even know yet.

So there you have it. It was positive, another one is coming this spring!

A week ago I asked Eden, my four year old, if she thought we were having a boy baby or a girl baby. Eden's reply was, "You have two babies inside you, Mom. Two boy babies." She said it so matter of fact, it caught me off guard. Luckily, no one in my family has had twins, so I laughed at such an idea.

Today I had my first ultrasound appointment. I told the tech what my four year old had said, and to please make sure there is only one heart beat.

This is what she found:

TECH: "Here are your two babies"
ME: "Whaaaaaaat?"
TECH: "Your two babies, your twins."
ME: "You are kidding, what are you talking about?!?!" (at this point I'm shaking)
TECH: "I thought you were kidding with me, saying your four year old said your having twins. I thought you might have already had an ultrasound and knew!"

She then had to ask me to try and hold still, so she could get the heart beats.

She really did find two! I really am having TWINS! ...and I haven't been the same since.
