big brother

I knew there was a reason I was waiting to write this post. Well, we went to the doctor today and confirmed that yes, we are pregnant and yes, Eddie is going to be a big brother. But as the screen on the ultrasound lit up my uterus we saw something totally unexpected: two fetuses....yes, we are having twins! Identical twins. The odds are .2%, according to my doctor. Crazy, just pure crazy. The due date is May 4, but odds are likely that they will arrive much much earlier than that. We are still in shock and so many thoughts and emotions are rushing through me - excitement, fear and a bit of sadness because this will be a major adjustment for our little Bomby. We have started talking about how there is a baby in Mommy's belly...but now to explain that there are two? I look for guidance, for support, for suggestions because I feel like I am entering a whole new territory when it comes to birth and parenting. Twins.
