also posted this on the august 2012 board...so excited to join you all!

The hubs and I are still in shock! Very happy shock! We saw two little beating hearts toady! This is a total surprise, this is my first pregnancy and we conceived naturally. When the doctor did a vaginal u/s she thought she saw 2 little beans and then when she did an abdominal u/s she saw something but couldn't tell for sure on her machine. She sent me over to the hospital to get a clear picture on their more advanced u/s machine and there they were, TWO!

It's still too early to see if they are fraternal or identical.My husbands grandfather was a twin, I don't know how much this has to do with anything...I have a whole new slew of books and information to learn now! My EDD is 8/9/2012.

We are keeping this bombshell of a secret for christmas and telling each of our families separately (first grandkids for my parents, #5+6 for his). Both of our moms know I'm pregnant, but won't they be surprised when we tell them it's twins! I'm basically avoiding everyone until then, it's almost impossible for me not to be thinking/talking about it right now.

I am so excited! Wishing you all the best holiday season!

Congrats! When we told our families about the twins they already knew we were pregnant too so we called to give them an update on the OB appointment. We said " the appointment went great, the first half of the appointment we talked about the baby, and the second half of the appointment we talked about the OTHER baby". Silence on the phone and then screams of TwINS!!! Have fun telling people. I know you will have a blast sharing news this Christmas!

Congratulations!  What a great Christmas present for your families.  We told everyone we were pregnant on Thanksgiving and then had to call everyone back the next day (after our first u/s) to tell them it was twins!  Have fun revealing your secret!
