Congratulations-It's Twins!

In 2018, we left our life in Nashville when my (32 YO!) husband decided he wanted to pursue medical school. In the interim, he needed to take a few classes and begin the daunting application process. To save money, we moved in with my parents. Not ideal, but in the long term the best decision we knew we could make. In august of 2018, we made the move to my parents house in Pennsylvania, and my husband, Collin, started his pre-requisite coursework. During this crazy transition, we found out we were expecting and were so excited! Because of being on Clomid (which I was on for my first pregnancy), I knew there was a 10% chance of it being twins. I didn't feel much different the first few weeks, I only remember thinking that I was getting bigger faster... or maybe it was my imagination! Several times before my appointment I said to my husband... "What if it's twins." and he would say "Well, great! Then it's twins!"  My mother-in-law kept telling me... "You're going to have twins!" and I would say "yea...OK." But I think saying it out loud several times and talking about the possibility really started preparing me mentally... just in case it was. When we went for our 8 week ultrasound I knew right away. Having already had my daughter, I knew what the ultrasound tech was looking at and I could clearly see two round circles! I remember my face being so hot. I was just so nervous! When she said "Well, it looks like you're having twins... congratulations!" We were both surprised, but also, since I'd mentioned the possibility so many times, I almost I felt like it was coming! I went into the bathroom when she finished the ultrasound and cried happy tears. The journey was just beginning. In the midst of such huge change already- moving, career changes- I was so happy to have the support system of my family around me as I began this journey. As we were walking out of the appointment my husband had to leave for his class and I remember hugging for a long time before we got into our cars. The only thing I kept saying was... "I can't believe we're having twins." And now every day, I still look at them and say... I can't believe I have twins.
