Ann's having Twins! Story

Dh and I had just moved back to Ohio (June 2004) and were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. Prior to this, we had discussed the idea of not having any more children. I wasn't positive, but leaning towards him having something perminent done. In August, I found out I was pregnant! What a surprise! I started wondering early on if I was farther along that they thought, but the OB dr just said I was right on target at my 1st appt (Sept). By my 2nd appt (October), I was measuring 2 weeks bigger, but not to worry. By my 3rd appt (November) I was measuring 4 weeks bigger. Now the dr wanted to do an u/s to get the exact due date. Never once did she hint around anything other than a big baby or wrong due date.

On November 15 (I was 18 weeks pregnant by this point), We (my mom, Noah, and I) went to the u/s appointment. The tech started out by saying "yeah, we have 2 in there!" As if we already knew this information, which we didn't. I looked over at my mom and I thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head!
So she shows us all the major organs in both babies...we got to see all 4 chambers of each heart, kidneys, bladder, fingers, toes, etc.
Babies look healthy, they are right on target for my due date to stay at 4/18/05.
Baby "A"'s heart rate was 152
Baby "B"'s heart rate was 165
One weighs 8 ounces, the other 7 ounces.
