OMG there are two sac's twin birth story

Mylee and Myra
Oh wow I always had female issues but when my Dr. told me if I was planning on having more children I needed to do so.
So after many discussions with my husband who was not sure about adding to our already family of two girls, b/c he was scared that it would be twins, we decided to try for baby #3 after 6months of trying I found out that I was pregnant and went to the Dr. for blood work, after being there the nurse asked if I wanted to do a scan to see if we could see the "little peanut" and of course I said yes, after observing the screen I said while pointing what is that, it looks like two sac's and she kept reasurring me that there was one baby but I knew better and asked for more screening so after a vaginal ultrasound it was confirmed that there was indeed two sacs, two placentas, and two precious heartbeats.
7 weeks along I had a very tough road ahead after extreme sickness, in and out of the hospital, having a stitch put into my cervix, preterm labor, finally they were born at 35 weeks via c-section weighing in at 4lbs 11oz and 4lbs 13ozs Mylee and Myra were here.
After a couple of hours they both were careflighted to another state close by.
I was completely distraught, And as a Lactaction Consultant I new the importance of getting baby to the breast soon or pumping, so I hand expressed until I was released to go to thier hospital.
while in the NICU I fought so hard to nurse both my babies and for them to get NO formula, against all odds and even being told by many Docters that I would not produce enough breastmilk for two babies, ha ha I did it!!!!!
The girls turned one in December and are still Breastfeeding.
Having twins has been so hard but is the most rewarding, loving, conquering experience ever.
I am so glad that God double blessed me along with thier big sissies.
