Twins Confirmed

Due to the crazy blood test results, the doctor scheduled us an ultrasound to "see how many are in there." Ben went with me to the appointment. When images first started appearing on the screen, Ben said, "Well, looks like just one," to which the ultrasound tech replied, "Actually..."

It turns out there is usually an image that looks like an engagement ring. However, our engagement ring had two diamonds instead of one. The tech said that she had never seen such a clear picture of twins that early (I was about 5 1/2 weeks). She called it "textbook".

The doctor confirmed the ultrasound tech's assumption that I was, in fact, carrying twins and that they appeared to be identical. She recommended that I make another appointment in a few weeks to get a better look.
