Dis 'n Dat

You surprised to see us, Clark?

Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now.

Yeah, that's about how I felt yesterday around 3:30ish. You see I had my first sonogram. Routine really. I was excited to see the heartbeat and the little alien baby. Get some measurements for a more accurate due date. No big deal. Even though I've done this before I was still looking forward to it. Honestly, this first trimester has been a little surreal. It was obiviously not a planned pregnancy, but how many really are? Even though hubby and I will be poor from now until eternity we were still happy about the child to come.

So the tech lady and I are chatting it up and here's the following conversation...

"This is a little different set-up from last time. I like the screen on the wall up there so I don't have to crane my neck to look at your monitor. That's nice.

"Oh I've had that for a couple of years now. How old is your little one now?"

"He'll be 2 in August."

"You must have just missed it then. All right, let's take a look at this baby."

"TV snow" appears on the screen and then I see what I think is a head. I start getting choked up because now the pregnancy seems more real. I'm not just getting fat, there really is a baby in there.

"So how do you feel about having two babies??"

"Well, you know, I'm a little nervous, but we'll be fine. I'm excited."

"No...how do you feel about having two more babies???"

"What? What!!! What are you talking about???? Two babies?????!!!!!!!!"

"Oh yes, there are twins in there."

At this point I start laughing hysterically. Tears are streaming down my face. Now the pregnancy has become surreal again. I'm just laying there cracking up and then the tech starts cracking up and then I tell her my husband is going to shit his pants. I just keep laughing because I just don't know how to react. I swear I don't think I've ever been more shocked.

So, here we are. Twins on the way. Hubby didn't shit himself, but I think a little pee came out.
