I'm seeing DOUBLE!

Hi friends and family! Most have you have already heard the shocking results from my ultrasound. I'm sorry this post was so long in coming, but I have literately only now started to come back down to earth. I have been in shock for the last couple days and NOTHING has gotten accomplished in my poor household! (Thank goodness for good husbands!) So the biggest news..... There were TWO babies inside me all along! My OB isn't sure how he missed it, but after going back and looking at my first ultrasound at 8 weeks we've decided that one baby was hiding BEHIND the other making it hard to see by a vaginal ultrasound. ::sigh:: lol. So the second biggest news is that the ultrasound tech was 99% sure both babies were girls! We are still not sure whether they are identical or not. It appears as though there is just one placenta, but it is possible that it is two that are fused together. We may not know more until the girls are born. As you can imagine this came as a HUGE surprise and my head has been reeling ever since. I am sooo excited to see my little girls for the first time, but anticipate a long road ahead! I need your prayers more then ever now, as this news brings all new fears and uncertainty to this pregnancy. I will do my best to keep you all updated. I should be getting a few more ultrasounds then I normally would now though, and plan to go back and double check the gender. I can't handle anymore surprises!!! lol . Here are the pics you've been waiting for. The baby's are labeled Baby A (She's the bottom part of my belly) and Baby B (She's up above in my belly). :) I hope you love them. I know I do!






That last shot was our only 3D image we got that day. Hopefully more will be soon to follow! Now for fun, here's the ultrasound image from our 8 week ultrasound.....Looks like only one baby to me! lol. Boy were we wrong!



We're thinking the other sack HAD to be behind it right? So crazy! Anyways....Here is a recent pic of me at the pumpkin patch! 19 weeks pregnant with Twins!!! (didn't know it at the time!)Almost 1/2 way through! Yay!
