Shit just got real

DD came down this weekend, and took today off work as I had my ultrasound today.  I'm so glad he was here for it.

We had to pick up my daughter from school on the way, and made our way to the hospital.  I had to pee.  A lot.

They got me in almost right away, which was nice for a change and I got rid of my pants and got on a gown and hopped up onto the table.  I've been a bit of a nervous wreck leading up to today and was anxious to see the little bugger.

Nice cold gel, made me need to pee even more.  I'm trying to look at the screen but nothing really makes sense to me.  The lady reached over and I could hear clicking and then all of a sudden could hear the heartbeat!  She looked over at me and I immediately got tears in my eyes.  She said 'That's a good sound, isn't it?'

I just nodded, wasn't able to say anything, but then told her how I had just miscarried in January and that it sounded incredible. She said she saw it on my chart and thought I might want to hear it. She handed me some kleenex and apologized, saying she didn't realize I was crying.  I said it was alright, and then she said 'Well if you weren't crying before, you would be now..'  And my heart sank and soared all at the same time.  I asked why...and she turned the monitor towards me and said, 'Here is the baby.....and here is the other one, there's 2'

I almost didn't believe her if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.  I just started crying and staring at the screen.
She brought DD and the girl in after that, and said 'Do you want to tell them, or should I?  And all I said was 'Show them'

She pointed at Baby A, and then moved the thing over and pointed at Baby B.  All I heard was the girl laughing and she had a huge grin on her face, and DD just very quietly said, 'Oh wow.' She let us hear each of the heartbeats again, and gave us a picture that I let DD take home after I scanned it.  She didn't have a very good picture showing both unfortunately, but said I'd probably be having another ultrasound done in a few weeks.

When I got back from dropping DD off to catch his bus home, the boy was here, so I pulled up the scan and showed him where the head, and body was and then I paused and said.. 'And this is the other head and body.'

Needless to say, everyone seems very excited, but we're all in a little shock and I think today has emotionally drained me.
