When we found out!!!

It was a normal day.( I know that's how all stories begin, but for this story that detail is vitally important. My wife and I knew that we were pregnant already but due to our Gypsy like summer of traveling so much we had not yet been to the doctor for our first check up.  We knew where we wanted to go since our son had only been born a little less than a year ago (literally).  So when it came time for us to choose a place we knew where and what mid-wife. The appointment was scheduled and we were planning an exciting reveal at our sons birthday party the next weekend.  My wife and I thought it would be fun to tell everyone what we were having, boy or girl (ha ha) at his party, so we were semi anxious to see if we could see the sex of THE BABY this early in the pregnancy.  The doctors appointment went as scheduled, with all the questions and poking and prodding, along with a 11 month old running around small room scouting things that he could get his hands on. Then we asked THE question that open THE door to the wonderful journey we are now on. "Could we get an sonogram, to hopefully get to see the sex?" We explained the situation with the upcoming birthday party and our exciting thought on how to reveal the sex. With no hesitation our Mid-wife said "no problem," and so she got the machine out. The Mid-wife put that blue goo on my wife's tummy (what is that stuff anyway) then proceeded to do the sonogram. There was no talking for what seemed like 10 min. I remember looking at the sonogram and thinking, "it's pretty clustery, in there."  It was defiantly not the normal one defined head, little tiny torso, then some legs. It looked like a blob of bod(ies)?  Then our Mid-wife said these words that I know WE will never forget. With a smile on her face she said "it looks like there are two babies in there." My jaw dropped, I had no words, and for me that is saying a lot. I can not explain the rush of emotions and whirlwind of excitement and being overwhelmed that set in right them. I tell people its kind of like when you ask and friend for some veggies from their garden, and when you get home your front yard is full of veggies. You know at the end of the day that it is going to be great to have the veggies but all you can think about is the work required to clean, can, cook these veggies. At this point my son was giving me the dead legs and wanted to run around so I optioned to take him to the waiting room to let him down and gather my thoughts. To be honest I was freaking out. With this new information all I could think about was I have to finish our basement, were going to have to get a van, we're gonna need a nanny, I need a better paying job. (you know the things you think about when your told your having twins).  So in the waiting room I asked the L-rd to "give me wisdom and what am I going to do." With amazing speed the L-rd responded.  I believe that He knew how overwhelmed I was and answered instantly. He told me, " put a smile on you face and tell your wife how great this is going to be and how excited you are about these babies." Then He said, "do not go down any roads, that pertain to preparation or what are we going to do, just enjoy your healthy beautiful babies."  With that word from the L-rd I went back into the room with a big smile on my face. At this point the Mid-wife had gotten another Doctor (who shall be named Doctor poopy pants) to come in and assess the sonogram for verification.  Doctor poopy pant (who was one of the most negative people I have ever meet) told my wife all the bad and ugly of having twins (he must have forgotten the GOOD) while I was in the waiting room. Once I came back into the room the appointment had basically expired and my beautiful wife was putting her clothes back on to leave. I commented to her "how you doing?"  when I say that my wife is special I Mean it. Sorry to all other wives out there but you don't even compete with the woman the L-rd graciously gave to me to be my wife. She said with misty eyes "I don't want to talk about it!"  At this point I was semi confused because I was on my Husband of the Year campaign, smiley face and full of positivity. She told me about what Doctor POOPY pants said and that she just wanted to leave at this point. I Started to let that flood of positivity poor out, completely unsure of the things that i was saying, but putting on a good bluff. She slowly came around. I shared with her the direction that I had received from the L-rd. She said that this direction was exactly what she (we) needed. I remember vividly the angle at the desk as we made our two week appointment.  She with a smile on her face asked "boy or girl?"  My wife and I starred at each other and kinda smirked.  With a bigger smile on her face the receptionist said "TWINS?"  We shook our heads yes. The receptionist still Smiling said "I have twins, don't worry the shock will go away and you will realize what a blessing you've been given." She hit the nail on the head Shock was exactly what we were in. Through the next couple of hours it slowly sank it. There was not a time that I would not think about us having twins without smiling and LOLing ( laughing out loud). I mean this is something that happens to other people, in a positive way ;) But I am pretty sure that I actually stop and stare at twins when I see them ( yeah I'm that guy). And now I am going to be the father of twins. It is a feeling that I can not explain. But I know it is one that life for me would be incomplete with out feeling. I have already fallen in love with these two little blessings and I know that the next 5 and a half months with be a journey my wife and I will never forget.
