First Ultrasound


Well, technically this is the second ultrasound. The first time I went to the doctor was just for a check- up, but because I am an impatient person I asked for an ultrasound. The tech warned me that we may not be able to see anything because it was so early, but I didn't care. Of course after seeing nothing but a sac made me anxious for this next visit.

This time Phil came with me and I was just hoping our little bean would have started forming and we could see something. The nurse turned off the lights and then turned on the screen. I could see there was definitely more to see than last time.... The words that came out of my mouth were: "Are there TWO in there?!". She said... well that's what I'm trying to figure out. My second question was "There aren't THREE are there?" She confirmed that the third did not have a heartbeat, it was part of the other baby (on the left).

So I look at Phil, expecting him to be freaking out, and he's more calm than me! Don't get me wrong I am excited, it's just all very overwhelming when you first find out there is not only one human growing in you but two. Here is a first look at our two beans :)
