Along with finding out if everything was okay with the little blob (e.g. it is growing at the right pace, the heart rate is normal, etc.) Joel and I were also hoping to find out if we could expect a boy or a girl. Not that this would change anything. We are not planning to shower the kid in pink or blue, nor will we be planning its life as a professional sports player or ballerina. We mainly wanted to know so that we could more easily narrow down the name selection.
So you can imagine our surprise when the ultrasound technician lady (after squirting way to much jelly on my stomach, I might add) pointed to the monitor and then said the magic words "So here's baby A and here's baby B".
We immediately looked at each other and said "huh??" Apparently our dear little blob has either multiplied or was hiding a friend in there during the last mini ultrasound. And now we have two names to come up with! We did find out the sex of the babies (which we have decided to keep to ourselves just to keep you all in suspense). We will say that they are both the same sex, although it is not yet determined if they are identical or fraternal (apparently only fraternal twins run in families, while identical twins are randomly assigned).
So there you have it. If you would like to get a hold of either of us, feel free. Although please keep in mind we will most likely still be in a state of shock, trying to comprehend what is in store for us in the next 20 weeks. And hoping they don't continue to multiply.

Congratulations! That exciting (and, I imagine, daunting...); good luck you two :)
Woot! Woot!
Give it up for Cathy Barragan (or whatever your new name is)!
If they're male.... might I suggest... humbly... Christopher and Craig? Obviously the latter would kick the crap out of the former on a daily basis, but lack in video game talent.
Congratulations are in order.
I'll go find some.
P.S. Word verification is just fancy talk for "I hate my readers."
