This is the very first Ultrasound which was taken on July 3rd, 2007. I had some cramping pains which I was unfamiliar with, and decided to go to the doctor's office, to ask the staff nurse some questions about this. I called Kevin at work to let him know, and he left work early to come too. When I arrived at the doctor's office, surprisingly, they accepted me right away, and the nurse decided to conduct an ultrasound, just to be safe. While studying this image on the monitor, the doctor was also surprised to see two sacs, with a tiny heart fluttering in each. She left me alone to retrieve the owner of the practice to confirm that we were indeed looking at a live picture of twins. Alone in the room, in my little paper gown, I stared at the screen in utter disbelief. My heart and mind were racing with excitement and questions filled my mind as this newfound reality started to set in. Could it really be that we were blessed with twins? What are the chances? How could we possibly manage two infants at once? Although we planned this pregnancy one year out, from prenatal health care, collecting baby furniture, to purchasing my favorite diaper bag; nothing prepared me for this image of these two tiny fluttering hearts beating. After the owner of the practice came in to confirm that we were indeed looking at two living beings, it all began to sink in. It was then when I realized that we would need two of everything... after leaving the office, I just sat in my car in the parking lot, and just sobbed with excitement. I started thinking about how I'd creatively break the news to Kevin. I realized then, that I had to "pull it together" to call him, and let him know that I'm on my way home, I'd meet him there, and that everything is "ok",... That was a difficult phone call to make..... Little did he know what news awaited him when I got home.
