Twins?!?!?

So I didn't even know it was possible for me to have twins. I always thought they were a genetic thing and I didn't have that gene. But I knew nothing about what we do know about what causes twins. Apparently I do have whatever it is, because we're expecting twins. I had an appointment with my doctor last week and she thought I was measuring large for only being almost 12 weeks. She told me it could be one of three reasons why I'm measuring large, 1- I might just measure large, 2- I'm further along then my dates say I am, 3- Twins. Friday I went and got the ultra sound down that she referred me to, and after being told there was just one baby, the tech changed her mind. Twins. This means no home birth with my midwife, or birthing center birth. I am just in shock. My husband keeps thinking of things we don't own two of that we are going to need a second of. Twins. I just can't wrap my head around it. Well this does explain a few thing, like how sick I've been, and how I felt like I was gaining weight a little too fast, and how I'm super extra sleepy all the time. Twins!
At least I have 6 more months to get use to the idea. By the way we're due Sep 6.

    Hurray for you! I always thought it would be so much fun to have twins, but maybe I am just crazy! You will do great.

    YEAH!!!! I read your blog often enough for chorister reasons that I just have to say "Congrats"! I had an 18 month old when we found out we were having twins:) I, too, was seriously sick & could feel my bulging uterus at 8 weeks along. My family is chuck full of twins and one set of triplets (my oldest sister had them) & also my husband's side has a few sets of twins as well. So if you have questions or just need to whine shoot me an email. My primary blog is www.preciousprimary.blogspot.com & you can get my email address from there.

    I'm happy for you & I know how much work it will be. But I also know how much FUN it can be, too:) And your due date is my oldest's birthday. So fun!

    Tas, that's great and crazy news!!! I'm sure it will be hard (pregnancy and after) but I am also sure that you'll do a wonderful job handling it all. You're such a great mom to Al, I guess someone thought you should take a shot at TWO at a time! So, it's good news! Scary, but good. Congratulations!

    I'm a frequent "Chorister" visitor too, but wanted to send my congrats!! I've always wanted twins! :) Also, I think it's neat that you're a home-birther...I am too! I have a good friend that delivered twins at home! She's a brave woman indeed! :) Good luck with everything - it will be an exciting journey!
