At the Sept. 6th (12 week) appointment, we saw the nurse practitioner instead of my doctor because she had been called away to deliver a baby. When performing the ultrasound, the nurse practioner thought she may have seen two babies! Brad and I also thought we saw two heads. But she said she couldn't be sure and Brad and I weren't sure about what we saw either. So, we had to patiently wait for 4 more weeks until our 16 week appointment on Oct. 6th.
At this appointment we told my doctor what the nurse practitioner had seen at the prior appointment and she said that she would take another look via ultrasound that day. At first when she looked at the monitor she said that it looked like just one baby, but the longer she looked she started to see what the nurse practitioner had seen. She sent us to get an ultrasound downstairs with the better & clearer ultrasound machines. So we waited about an hour or so and went in for the next ultrasound. As soon as the ultrasound began, the technician said, "Yep, you're having twins!" We couldn't believe it! Even though we knew there was a chance that there could be two, it was still quite a shock to learn that we were actually having twins for sure!
Our next appointment is Oct. 22nd where we'll do the anatomy scan and they'll hopefully confirm the gender of the two babies! We're so excited for that appointment!
Here is a picture of Baby A and Baby B!
