Valentine's Day

It's 7 am I have been up for a while. Could be we found out less than 24 hrs ago that we are expecting twins or it could be at 8 am we have an apt to make sure the two babies are in separate  sacs.Lots running through our minds. We did a little research last night about what they were looking for this morning and read there is a 1% chance that there will be no membrane present.
After meeting the doctor who little did we know we would be getting to know well over the next few months Dr. Guerdo. He explained to us and pointed out how relieved he was that he saw a small membrane present, two sacs, and one placenta. With that being said he explained we had identical monozygotic twins. What does this mean? Well we got past the first of many obstacles!
We will be monitored very closely because since they are identical and sharing the same life line ( one placenta) there is a danger of TTS ( twin to twin syndrome). One baby could start taking on more of the nutrition then the other, resulting in one being much smaller and in danger than the other.
But for now we are focusing on the most amazing thing we saw today, two babies,healthy, growing inside me! Praise be to the King!
8 weeks along and already showing off!
