Today Phil and I went to another OB appointment and the doc was kind enough to do another ultrasound so that Phil could see the baby. To our surprise, there were two! The doc wasn't 100% positive and couldn't get a great view on his ultrasound machine, so he sent us over to the hospital where their machine is a bit more advanced. It took the ultrasound tech about 2 seconds to confirm that we are indeed expecting two babies!! We were shocked, to say the least! The tech said that each baby has their own sac, but that they are sharing a placenta, which typically indicates that the babies are identical twins. I go to the OB again next week and hopefully, he will be able to tell me if they are identical or fraternal. After we left the hospital, it was so much fun calling all of our family to tell them our amazing news. I think I will remember everyone's reactions forever! Thanks for being so excited with us!
