How unsuspecting husband found out...

I returned home that day with freshly printed ultrasound pictures of our babies (Three of the "one" baby only and two with both of the babies in them). Hubby wasn't due home from his "unreachable by cell phone golf tournament" until 8:00 pm that night, so fortunately I had a steady stream of phone calls coming in as the news got out to keep me occupied until then. I left only a little message on his cell phone stating the visit had gone well and I had pictures to show him when he got home.

He arrived home and came upstairs and sat down next to me asking a few questions about the visit. I gave him the first picture of the "one" baby. I pointed out the outline of the sac and the baby and continued to hand him the other two pictures of just one. THEN I handed him the picture of "two." He pointed out excitedly to the top one.

"Is that the baby?" "Yes," I answered smiling and glancing up to see if he had a clue. (Not yet). "What's that?" I asked pointing at the other one. "I don't know, A blob?" He said confused. I giggled. So I retraced the first pictures..."That's the sac and that's the baby...and that's a sac and that's a baby..."

I looked up at him and it was pretty clear he had gotten it. A look of shock overtook his face. "Your kidding?" he stated as I shook my head no. "TWO?" he blurted out. "YEP!" I said.

We sat there on the couch staring at each other several times, breaking out in laughter. I don't think he's over the shock yet...
