So she's pregnant, now what?????????

So, on June 8th we came to the conclusion that one false-positive pregnancy reading was rare, but could it be possible to get two? We both realized that what we thought was the truth, she's pregnant. We still didn't want to get our hopes up, but it was really hard. We had to wait another week to confirm the pregnancy with some blood work.
That Friday, June 12th was the day we got the blood work done. Results wouldn't be back till the following Monday, so we had more waiting to do. The weekend felt like an eternity. It was so hard not telling everyone about the positive pregnancy tests, but we decided to just tell our closest family and friends.

Monday comes and we get the news we were waiting for.........OUR PRAYERS HAD BEEN ANSWERED AND CONFIRMED. SHE WAS INDEED PREGNANT. HOLY COW!

Now what? Time to schedule our first ultrasound. June 19th, 2009 was the day! More waiting.........this is the worst part. For some reason that whole week, neither Ali nor I thought that there was just one baby inside of her. I would talk to her belly every night and refer to the babies as PEOPLE, instead of just one. "HI PEOPLE!!!" I would say. Not knowing why, but we just didn't think that there was one. Ali's mom is a twin, so we were hoping that we had a shot at multiples. We even had a dream on the same night that we were having triplets. In my dream, I knew that one was a boy, but wasn't sure about the others. Ali's dream was just that she was carrying triplets.
Even our neighbors thought that she was carrying more than one. It was just a weird hunch we all had.
June 19th came and we went to find out how many she really had...............you won't believe what happened next.
