Both have good uterine placement and are measuring on track. Heart rates were 115 and 119 bpm and we were able to hear them both.
I am in complete shock. I thought twins were a possibility after my early pee sticks but then my beta numbers seemed too low and I settled firmly into my belief it was only one. I have thought all along that if it WAS twins, M would completely freak out and I'd be nervous but excited. It's exactly the opposite. M is cool as a cucumber; very enthusiastic and sending me sweet, reassuring text messages. I am relieved and grateful, of course, but also scared out of my mind. We left with a dozen pictures, a toddler covered in Spiderman stickers, and a prescription for Zofran (Hooray!).
It's been a "double" kind of day around our house: Double ear infection for E, poor guy. He started an antibiotic already so hopefully he'll feel better soon. We should go buy a lottery ticket. Maybe we'll win twice. Heaven knows we could use the money...
Holy crap, you guys. I am going to need so much help from those of you who have done this already!

Congratulations twice over!
Wowee wow wow wow. Hooray! And don't worry about the "holy crap" feelings. The night after our first twin u/s, I sat on the couch from 2am to 5am not sleeping and pondering the concept of becoming a twin mom (and carrying a twin pregnancy.) I'm more than happy (and finding it completely surreal and bizarre as well) to offer guidance on all things twins. But for today, just one step (and zofran pill) at a time. I too, started the zofran in week 6. Unfortunately all it did was keep me from puking but didn't touch the nausea.
YAY!
Also...I think it is super awesome that this happened this way. E. has a connection to his donor that the twins won't but the twins have each other. Seems like that will help balance thing in your family.
Yay!
This is amazing news! I don't blame you for freaking out! We only had a week of twins but it blew my mind! Good luck!
I knew it - even way back when, I just kinda knew it! I'm so thrilled for you!!
Woohoo! Congratulations! :)

CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome to the wonderful and crazy world of gestating and raising multiples! :) Sending huge good thoughts for a happy and healthy pregnancy with your two little ones!!
We reacted the opposite of what I expected, too. I actually thought S was going to be mad when we found out it was twins (she always said "no twins!"), but she reacted just like M did.
Congrats again! I am just so excited for you!!
