We are expecting twins??

Ok, I am going to go back a bit...as I am writing, my twins are 6 months old. But, best to start their story at the beginning.

The title of this posting really says it all. Bob and I were ready to have a baby. We had been married 8 years, together for something like 13. We got a dog about 5 years prior, so we guessed it was about time for the next step. When I found out I was pregnant, I headed to the doctor to confirm my suspicions. Well, my HCG levels were quite high so they decided to do an ultrasound to make sure all was going as planned. I was excited to see the little being...when I got all settled, the technician looked at me with what I would call an "interesting stare." Great, I though, what is wrong? She just turned the ultasound screen toward me and stared without saying a word. What do you see, she asked? I thought to myself, what is she asking me for, I am not a doctor, but I did not have to be one to realize what I was looking at. Oh....my...God....I think were the words that came from my mouth, but I am not sure. Are there supposed to be two black circles there? She said "yes, if you are having twins." I am sure Oh...my...GOD came out of my mouth again. "Congratulations. You will need to come back in a few weeks." What? She was just leaving me there with this news? I seriously sat there for a while digesting it.

Now Bob was at work, so I decided I should just break this news to him in person. I asked him to meet me for coffee to see the ultrasound photos. Little did he know....anyway, I think I talked to myself in the car the entire way to meet him. I am sure I laughed, kinda that scary, giddy laugh, cried and screamed at least once!

Once we met, grabbed a cup of coffee (mine decaf of course) we sat down at a table. I slid the ultrasound photos across the table like sliding a glass down the bar. Speaking of a bar, when Bob saw them the first thing out of his mouth, after extreme silence, was "does this coffee shop sell beer?" And so the journey began...
