Twins?


So today I went to the doctor for my 16 week appointment. According to my sister, this was to be a quick listen to the heart beat in and out appointment. Devin decided not to come because it wasn't going to be anything big and exciting.

Or so he thought. I asked him if there was anything he wanted me to ask the doctor. He only had one question, "Are we going to have twins?" I thought it was a silly question but I figured I'd ask. So after the doctor found our babies heart beat right above my right hip I asked her, "So is there any chance we are having twins? My husband wants to know." She went clear over to my far left side and surprisingly enough found another heartbeat. WHAT? She went over to the other side and heard a heart beat, went back to the other and heard another. "So what does that mean am I having twins?" "I don't know, it's possible. Weird!" Don't you love it when your doctor says, "Weird!" So she left and a few minutes later she came back and Dr. Smith had decided that we should do an ultrasound to make sure how many babies are in there. So after sweating it out for 5 minutes we found out...just one baby. Enjoy our first baby photos. Isn't it cute! We will found out what that cute little baby is on June 5th.

I have to get checked for twins everytime because I get so big and no one ever believes that I have big babies. Can't wait to see what the little baldwin will be.

You had me going for a second!! Happy all is well with the little tike! Have you gained any weight yet?? Do you got a pooch?? Just wait-you are going to popping out real soon!!!

Ultrasounds can be deceiving. I still think there are twins. In fact, look at the second picture. Big Brother is using little sister as a pillow.

That's so funny! I'm surprised that they didn't check to see what the baby was right then. We found out a 16 weeks. Oh well, only a few more weeks to go, and then you'll know :) Happy 12 more days of school!!

Ashley was praying for twins for us. They do run in the family though, and as big as those Baldwin babies are I did not want twins! You never know the other baby could be playing hide n seek!

OK you got me there. I have a friend with one set of twins that are one year old and another set coming very soon. I always wanted twins but after having 2 -2 years apart, I think I can get by without twins. Good luck with everything. I'll check back to see what the baby happens to be :)
