Twins?

Ok so realistically I know we probably aren't having twins but.....

When I first told the fam I was prego at Christmas time our nephew asked his new Magic 8 Ball(remember those?) if we were going to have a boy it responded, "most definetly". Someone else than asked it if we were having a girl and it said, "it is certain". So finally my sister-in-law decided to ask it if we were having twins, a girl and a boy. "Absolutely". Nic then declared if we are having twins he is going to have to buy a Magic 8 Ball. haha

Since then Nic has been pestering me nonstop about having twins. A few weeks ago we were making breakfast for dinner. Nic always cooks the eggs so he asked me how I wanted my egg. "over easy" I say. Crack! Out of MY egg comes twin yolks :S He then proceeded to tell me it was a sign that we were having twins at which point I told him no we were not and I was NOT eating that egg.

Then came the Dr.'s appt. It was just a quick visit because I was sick so we didn't get to do any ultrasounds or anything. However, we did get to hear the heartbeat and the Dr. said my uterus was measuring at 20 wks. when I was only 14 wks. What the? I am confident of last period so it's not possible for me to be further along than I thought. She did only hear one heartbeat but it is not uncommon for the babies heartbeats to be insync or to only hear one due to positioning of the babies.

And finally my mom just told me last week that my great great grandmother was a twin. Why am I just now finding out about this?!? According to recent studies it doesn't really matter what line or how far back it goes, if twins run in your line somewhere your chances go up. Yikes!

So as unlikely as the chances are still twins are on my mind. Maybe Nic's talk has finally gotten in my head. We should have our ultrasound on tuesday so we will see if twins are in the future for us. I don't want to get ahead of myself and declare we are having twins. I really don't think we are but it's fun to think about.
