Hello, newbie here!

Having been married for almost 2 years, I was ready to start the next part of our life together. I would get teary eyed when I saw other women with babies (I can be such a silly woman sometimes!). One night in bed I asked DH, "you wanna not use a condom and see what happens?" A few weeks later I took two pregnancy tests, the weekend of Valentine's Day. That's back when we thought we were only having one baby.
Well I started bleeding and called my OB. (My first appointment was not for a few more weeks and they suggested I go to the ER.) I was hysterical when the OB triage nurse kept saying, "we need to make sure it's a viable pregnancy." She must have said it 5 times. OMG! I was able to get in that day at my GYN (since I was an established patient there). They took about 8 vials of blood and did an ultrasound. We had no idea what we were looking at on the screen. The tech got really quiet (which of course worried me) and she asked, "do twins run in your family?" We just started laughing and I asked DH, "what have you done to me?!" Of course, then we found out they were most likely fraternal twins. I can't blame him for this one!

Anyway, here I am, 8 weeks pregnant with not one but TWO babies. I am thankful to have found such a great community for help and information. Thank you in advance!
