So yesterday I hit 23 weeks(forgot to take a pic, will try to later) and we had our monthly midwife appointment. While the Midwifes apprentice was feeling for the babys position she said she couldn't tell where the baby was because she felt 3 hard spots, umm okay, is my baby misshapen? So the midwife came over and felt around and said she felt 4!! It has been a running joke between Derek and I that we are having twins, and it was mentioned to the midwives before, but they "ruled it out" for me before! So out came the dopplers and after a little searching the each found a completely different heart beat. Umm wow. Two babies??? How did that happen!! After a little while of me being in shock(and Derek couldn't stop smiling!!) they felt again and found the same thing along with the 2 heartbeats. Oh boy. I really didn't want to have an ultrasound at all during this pregnancy and didn't want to know the sex but we decided that I need to know for sure how many babies are inside me and it will be best to be more prepared so we will find out the sex if it turns out there really are 2 babies in there! I'm still in shock. We have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow morning at 10:00am, yea I have to wait another whole day to know for sure! Derek is pretty convinced we are having twins because the midwives said they would be shocked if we find out there is only one. He is running around with a huge smile while I am in a daze! I won't believe anything until I see the 2 babies on the ultrasound screen tomorrow morning!!
Yikes!!! 2 babies!!!!
Yikes!!! 2 babies!!!!
UPDATE: We had our ultrasound today and there is a single baby in there :-) We almost found out the sex, but I had some self control and decided to continue to wait until the birth!
