week 9, ultrasounds and more

So we had our first ultrasound last Tuesday (technically still in week 8). We were very nervous and excited and got quite a surprise while we were there...here are some pictures of the visit...
And the last picture.......
Yes...you are seeing 2 little images. We're having twins!!!
They both had very strong heartbeats and have 2 separate placentas so they won't be competing for nutrients. They both measured right at 8weeks, 2days.

So after the shock of that wore in we got busy telling family and close friends. We're still not exactly sure how we're going to manage 2 little bundles, but we're very excited about it!

So, here's an update on how big our little ones are:

Your BabIES: Week 9

Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like... well... a baby!
