First ultrasound showed 2 sacs and two little tiny flickering heartbeats! TWINS!!!!!!!! This is exactly what we were hoping for and we could not be happier. We're obviously not out of the woods yet, there is so much that can go wrong with twin pregnancies, but we might as well be positive and optimistic. Our next ultrasound is in 9 days. CAN'T WAIT!
How am I supposed to get any work done now?!

Words to Live By
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
