Counting just one! Don't worry, one is enough. There's a reason for it--I used to want twins too, but after they grow up a bit you're thankful to just have one at a time. For example one instance today when Devin thought it was a lot of fun to go around the house shouting at the top of his lungs "S Q U I R R E L !!!" And not just once, over and over, for no real reason other than he thought it was fun. I'de say I was pretty okay at that moment with just having one six year old.
Jen - How about, "no, it totally resembles it's mama - a round lumpy blob." =)
Meg - Sorry, I still disagree. I wanted twins. I hear discouraging remarks like yours from lots of people - EXCEPT those that actually have twins. They say it's twice the joy and twice the fun - which outweighs twice the diapers and twice the messes. But I obviously wasn't meant to have them this time around, and I'm grateful beyond words for my one little fetus.
Chris - yep. I love drugs. Most people may think it's TMI to be so publicly open about it - but I know so many women who also use Clomiphene/Clomid. I think it's important for us not to feel like we have to be in the closet about it. It's not a big deal - I just take a little pill for 5 days - and then my hormones are normal and I can get pregnant. My levels got permanently messed up during my college running days - especially in Hawaii. Apparently having 7% body fat for 3 years isn't good for you. Go fig. So - YAY for modern medical interventions.
I think our little fetus resembles Brian, don't you?

I want to write something very witty, but it just isn't coming to me right now. I'll be back later with something.
I really love these first ultrasound pictures. So amazing that tiny little life.
Rachel - I agree. Totally miraculous.
