Looks like we overshot a little

It’s twins. We’re having twins. There are twins in my uterus. As in twice as many as we thought. As in Bobbsey or Olsen. As in 40 percent of a basketball team. As in two-ninths of a Supreme Court.

Well, either it’s twins or it’s an alien. (Big hollow eyes, little mouth underneath, and it’s even giving a little thumbs up — see its hand just below and to the left of its head?)

Of the two options, I was sort of hoping for alien, but the doctor seemed pretty convinced it’s twins. Matt laughed and I cried when we got the news. How did twins happen? At my ultrasound right before my trigger, they told me I had just one follicle ready to go, but at today’s ultrasound the doctor was clearly able to see two spots on my right ovary where two eggs had been released. So much for the exactness of science.

This is going to take a little getting used to.
