sometimes, things DO happen the way I want them to....

I've been PRAYING for twins since we found out we had to do IVF.

Today, our prayers were answered.

We're having TWO babies. DEUX. DOS.

I find it hard to believe mostly because if I had my way we never would have needed to embark on the IF journey..... so for something to finally go "our way" is amazing and border line hard to believe. Not only did IVF work, but we got what we wanted.

I keep feeling that it's almost like life is saying "sorry for the hardship, I hope this makes up for it...."

SO many people already know we're pregnant (like my whole extended family - which is huge!!) but we're keeping the twin thing secret for the first trimester.... I'm trying to find info on the vanishing twin syndrome -- because i'd like to know odds... but i'm NOT going to stress about it - there's nothing i can do right now but be positive and believe that this fall, we'll be taking 2 perfect babies home!!

Oh - the u/s went something like this "here - you have one beautiful baby and a perfect heartbeat. it's measuring exactly where it's supposed to..... pause, move wand... oh wait - here's a second one... " My reaction "ARE YOU SERIOUS??" it just didn't seem real the way the whole thing happened but OBVIOUSLY that's not something she can kid around with!!!!! She kept saying "YES, i'm serious!!"

we're having 2.
today, i'm 6w2d.... many many many more to go!!
