Twins

Oi vey...
Well, I had my 20 week ultra-sound this
past thursday (the last day of school,
thankfully, also) and found out i'm having
fraternal twins... Both appear female.
I'm very excited because i'm keeping
them both (and will have help from my mom
and step-dad, plus my boyfriend wants them
and is supportive though he lives 3 hours
away right now).
These are the names we have picked out...
I picked a boy and girl name and my
boyfriend, josh, did the same (so that
it's fair and we both get a say):
josh's picks:
nicholas arnold (arnold is a traditional
middle name for his family)
evee danielle
my picks:
mei lin
oryan richard (my dad and grandpa are
named richard, I would've been richard the
third, but I was born female, lol)
anyway... Even with the help of both
the parents I live with and the support of
the babies' daddy (and my own father, by
the way), I am still sure there are things
I should know about raising twins. It
won't be easy!
Any advice or sites to check into?
Thanks!
((my mom and I have school figured out and
we're looking into wic, etc.))
**why won't it capitalize everything I
capitalize? Odd forum style...

Do you happen to have an ultrasound
picture of your twins to show us?

Lol, I was just getting that. My mom
scanned it, she e-mailed it to me. I
had to put it in photobucket...
Hopefully this works...

tty89/babies/babyus.Jpg
the one style is "baby a" and the other is
"baby b"... She didn't mean to make
them each different styles, but she did.
So both "3d" photos are of the one and
both "flat image" photos are of the other.

It didn't work. Make an imagecave.Com
account. Much more reliable.

When I test the link I can click on it
with a magnifier, so they're not so
small.
And what's confusing?

Thank you. =^_^=
hopefully next time they ultra-sound
they'll get the same style of pictures
printed for each. The lady I think was a
bit pressed for time and was hurrying to
fit in all the information for the two
before I went to talk to the doctor.
Now, anyone have any sites on raising
twins? Just wondering if there's any
tips out there for me. :)

The two photos on the left are one, the
two on the right are another. The lady
that did the ultrasound printed them
seperate styles for some reason.
If you can see, both left photos say "a"
and both right photos say "b" for "baby a"
and "baby b".
I didn't know the lady's mistake in
printing would cause such confusion. :?

seen them seperate before,especially in 2
different forms. . .

Like I said, it was a surprise, so the
lady was trying hard to measure all she
needed, etc., before I went to my doctor
appointment.
The 2 forms, as I said, were her little
mistake. She was in a hurry.
I'll have to see what they give me for
photos next time, hopefully it'll be
something that people don't question so
much. :?

Congrads msktty! Your going to have your
hands full! Do they run in your family?
My boyfriends family has twins and his
generation is supposed to be the lucky one
to get them so we were kind of thinking it
would be cool to get twins just a hell of
alot of work lol. But they have only seen
one baby with me and yesterday at the dr I
got to hear the heartbeat for the first
time and they havent said anything to me
and it only looking like one baby. Only
14 weeks tho so who knows. Is it common
to find out you are having twins that far
into the pregnancy?? 8)

Identical twins run in his family,
fraternal in mine (which is what these
are). So we were deffinately the
generation for them to hit again, lol.
My mom's grandma or something was a twin
(i don't remember exactly if that's right)
and my boyfriend's uncles are twins, one
of which just had a set of twins. So
yeah.
When I went in and heard the heartbeat for
the first time there was only one, too.
The second time I heard it they measured
me, too, and that's when they said I was
measuring big and all that jazz.
You may still have twins, we'll have to
wait and see!

Congrats! I would love to have twins!
And to mamiclaudia- it is common to find
out you're having twins this far into
pregnancy. They usually don't pick it up
by doppler and if you only get 1
ultrasound (which is usually around 18-22
weeks) then that's when you'd find out.
Sometimes they'll hear another heartbeat
by doppler but even that could just be the
placenta or something else, so they might
schedule an u/s based on that. Also they
might find your uterus is measuring ahead
of where you should be (although my doctor
doesn't check anything when I go in, I
just hear the heartbeat and get sent on my
way). So what a surprise that would be!
