In case you're not in the loop (or on facebook) - Stef and I have some exciting news!
We are having a baby!
Well, actually, I am lying.
We are having two babies!
I know, I know, it's crazy. It's taken me a whole week to get over the fact that there are two!
Last Monday we had our first hospital appointment (it's so strange that when having a baby no-one said to me "Yes! You are having a baby!" for the first 12 weeks and I was kind of left to do my own thing). I wanted proof, so that on Monday when the midwife said:
"Have you had an ultrasound yet?"
"No!"
"Would you like one today?"
"YESSSSSSS!"
So after 45 mins of talking to the midwife (still blissfully unaware that there wasn't just one baby) we got to have our first ultrasound done. It wasn't immediately obvious that there were two babies - and I probably wouldn't have even known if they hadn't zoomed in and shown me. The midwife and the sonographer (and sonographer trainee?) were all watching - along with Stef (of course). I wish I could say there was a defining moment when someone yelled out "Holy Cow, there are two babies!" -- but it didn't happen exactly like that.
The sonographer explained that they usually check for multiples and then everyone was quiet.
The midwife said "Oh!" quite loudly and we started saying "What? What? What?". Then to be honest I don't even really remember what anyone said because once they had confirmed that there were two, I was beyond functioning. I was very surprised and just kept laughing and laughing. Lucky I was lying down.
So it's all happening. They are due in January - but more than likely will be early, as twins seem to be. When I think that we might have two babies by Christmas I am pretty, still, non-believing.

So I guess that I will probably now turn into what I dislike - baby bloggers.

Wow, exciting news! I know what you mean about baby bloggers, I wrote a few baby related blog posts but I just can't bring myself to do a full baby blog. It's just all a bit too much.
