And twins??

Boy, when we do things, we sure do them big. I went in for my monthly check up yesterday afternoon expecting one baby, and came out expecting two.
The doctor thinks that because I was very early in my first appointment (just about 7 weeks), the second baby was hard to spot. The heartbeat at that appointment was very high (about 180!), which she said was normal, but now she's thinking it was that high because..well...twins!
Yesterday, she was trying to find the heartbeat without the use of ultrasound and was unsuccessful. So, she felt better about going ahead and seeing what was going on in there, as did I. We found baby right away, and the heartbeat was about 145. Everything looked good and I got to see baby move and wiggle which was awesome. The doctor was just about to pull away, rolled up and said "...ummm...how far along were you in your first ultrasound?" I said "Uh..pretty early? Like 7 and a half weeks?....WHY?" And she paused for a minute and said "..Because there's two in here..."
The rest of the appointment consisted of me freaking out. I said "Oh my God." a lot. I covered my face, I teared up from sheer surprise, I walked out of the room completely shell shocked. I forgot to ask any questions, I forgot to ask how second baby looked...I just went blank.
More to come concerning how I feel about this new development. I'll tell you right now, that entry is going to be a doozy.
