Well now that it has been determined we are caring two little angels in my belly, it was time to get to thinking about other things, and looking into twins. Shauna began researching any and every website she could find on twins. We found a great website called Twinstuff and I love it there, the website is all about mothers of multiples or being pregnant with multiples right now. We had to have many ultrasounds done now because they wanted to make sure we had a dividing membrane. ( OK here is a little twin info so everyone knows)
Identical twins- usually have 2 amnio sacs, and 1 placenta or they can have a fused placenta which is 2 placentas that have now formed as one. You do not have to have 1 amnio sac and 1 placenta to be identical, in fact that is a rare case of twins and is monitored very closely.
Fraternal Twins- usually have 2 amnio sacs, and 2 placentas or if they have the fused placenta depending on when it was fused together as one.
so now back to my story. They finally sent us to a specialist called a "Peri" Perinatologist. Who specializes in high risk pregnancies. They were able to find my dividing membrane, meaning more than likely we have identical twins, 2 amnio sacs, 1 placenta. We were so relieved to find the membrane it was another milestone in this pregnancy. I was getting larger and larger by the day it seemed like and I continued to keep growing. We had another ultrasound scan at about 15 weeks to see if we could tell what were were having and the tech said WERE HAVING BOYS!!! We are so excited, we wanted boys more than girls either would have been good but so happy we got boys instead, because I know I was a very difficult girl to raise lol. Yeah for BOYS!!! My nausea is also gone and I am always hungry now instead. Month 4 was very fun for us and we got great news!!! There names are Evan Michael & Ethan Glenn!!!
