The BIG Ultrasound

Yesterday was our first full day back from vacation and we had our big 20 week ultrasound scheduled. As soon as we landed the day prior, Varun got news that he had to fly the following morning which meant that he would have to miss the one and only ultrasound of the pregnancy. There was absolutely no other navs that could fly the next day so we were disappointed that Varun may miss the one chance to get a sneak peak at the little one. Luckily, he was able to switch to an evening flight so he could make it to the appointment.

When the ultrasound tech began to scan she had asked us if we had any other ultrasounds so far. We thought nothing of the question and told her this was our first and only one of the pregnancy (since our insurance only covers one). She then asked if twins ran in my family. I started to get a funny feeling after telling her no. She looked at us both and said, "well you're having twins!" We were both completely shocked!!! The funny thing is, I have been joking with Varun for a while about having twins since I had horrible morning sickness and have gained so much more weight with this pregnancy than with Lily.

We are still not over the shocking news and have a lot of planning to do since our due date is now moved up to October. We were able to find out that Baby A was a boy, but we are still unsure of what Baby B is. Hopefully we will find out at our next appointment because we will now have an ultrasound every time we go in.
