I am an identical twin. I love being one and we are very close! My mom and dad say it was a lot of fun raising twins, but I know it was hectic at times. Think of it as a built in playmate.
My mom got that surprise… after she delivered my sister. The doctor said "hmmm...that baby isn't big enough. I think there's another one… " and then I was born.
I was secretly hoping I was carrying twins, since they run in the family, but the u/s only showed one little bean in there. (My BFF joked that the other one is probably just hiding behind the first one.)
I'm wondering if I'll be in the same boat as you...twins run in my family and I had a VERY vivid dream the other night that we had two little girls...we also picked two girls names immediately (like, in one suggestion we both agreed) and had trouble picking a boy name...some weird coincidences! I'm anxious and hate that I'll have to wait two more weeks for the first US to find out. ARG! The anticipation! :-)
Congratulations! I have twins (who just turned 5) and the U/S was a total shock! My DH jumped clear across the room when the tech said "and here is baby #2!
This pregnancy we knew we had a small chance for multiples again but we won't know until Tuesday.... my OB drew HcG labs a few weeks ago and after the 48 hr result, she moved my u/s up a week... just in case, given my history of multiples.. GULP!
So I'm guessing they're fraternal? Right? I haven't seen many twin u/s so I have no basis for that assumption.
I have a twin sister and I love it. There are actual several Mothers of Multiples clubs that meet in person, which were great sources of hand-me-downs growing up. Hopefully there's one near you!

What is it about twins running in the family??
I have had the idea in the back of my mind that I may have twins so I won't totally freak if it happens!
