My twin little girls

At 12 weeks my husband and I went to the OB for our first check up we weren't expecting much other than an OB appt. We came to the checking for heartbeats and the nurse dopplered for it she only checked the right side of my body and we heard one heartbeat new parents we were excited.

We left the appointment and I was messing around with my husband and I told him watch the nurse didn't check my left side I bet were having twins. We went back for our ultrasound that Friday and 'bam' there they were- twins. Then we had a scare the doctor started panicking and told us we would have to see a specialist because there was no membrane separating our twins they were in the same sack and they shared the same placenta so we started panicking.We were worried about our first children, they have a higher chance of wrapping each other up in their cords so, the doctors told us that they couldn't do anything for them until they were 24 weeks along we made it and found out they were girls, and they were both perfectly healthy.

Right now we are out 30 weeks our twin girls are due on sep 8th which is only two weeks away from now, we're in the hospital just in case they decide they want to come a little early hopefully not but now were in the safe zone so were happy with everything, these truly are our miracle babies.
