First Milestone-The big Ultrasound

We had our ultrasound last friday exactly 6 weeks and 1 day. I unfortunately was an emotional mess before the ultrasound as I had a scary day the day before that I won't get into. Finally the day comes and Anthony and my heart is beating so fast sitting in that waiting room. The doctor is an hour late. We finally get in there and the first thing the doctor says is "lets check out the babies." And I said "babies?" He said "well, or baby." So he starts the ultrasound, finds the sac and shows us the baby with a heart beat. I ask what the number is and he says "160 bpm." I feel relieved. Anthony happens to say "is there a twin in there?" The doctor says "let me check. You have twins." He said this in a very calm voice. I said "yah right, you are kidding right?" For whatever reason I never thought twins. He then begins to show us the two sacs with the two heart beats. I began to say "oh my god, are you serious?" Tears streaming down my face, in total shock. At this point I can't begin to think about anything else because I'm in my own surreal world. I had so many questions for him. The doctor said "congratulations" and left the room. Anthony and I began to call our parents to let them know our incredible news. The only thing I can compare it to was the feeling of when we got engaged. Even this feels bigger than anything I have experienced. The babies are measuring right on target, one is behind the other which the nurse said is normal. We are very excited and I pray everyday that these two babies are healthy and that I can carry them full term. I'm taking it as easy as I can and so far only our immediate families and close friends know. We can't wait to scream it out but right now we are cautiously optimistic that everything will go well. Please keep us in your prayers.
