We are being blessed not with one but two babies this time around. :) Yup the Benz's are going to be a family of 5! I am currently 12 weeks and due May 24th. My doctor says they probably won't let me go past May 10th though. So we get to see the babies a little early this time.

The weeks leading up to our 8 week ultrasound I had my suspicions as to whether there were two. For one I was a whole lot more tired and hungry, I was starting to show a little at 8 weeks ( and in maternity clothes at 9) and I think the Lord was preparing me a little before we got the news. On the way to the ultrasound I asked Matt if he thought it was two or not and he said he would be surprised if they told us it was one. So it wasn't just me then. :) When she said there were two we just laughed and smiled and said "we knew it!". It was a pretty big shock but a good shock. We have had a month to get used to idea and while I am still nervous I am trying to learn as much as I can and make the right decisions for the babies.

The picture isn't as bright but here they are at 12 weeks. This was the coolest ultrasound. Since they are still small you can see their whole bodies and they were moving around like crazy. Baby B was pushing off the side of the sac almost like Micheal Phelps. and when she went to track to heart beats they had little blups in the rhythm because they were moving so much. That the fun part, I get an ultrasound every appointment because they need to see the two heartbeats since if they heard them they wouldn't be able to tell who is who. So I get to see them more often. :)

We have been talking about the babies with Allie and she is so excited to meet them. Sometimes she hugs my tummy and says hi babies. :) My brother gave her twin dolls for her birthday and she loves to care for them. She will be such a great big sister. Everything in pairs are now called twins, like the other day there were two oranges on the counter and she said "twin oranges". Oh and beware if you are pregnant she will just assume there are two babies in your tummy too. :)
