However, there was not supposed to be an ultrasound yet. This was supposed to be a regular checkup for Shelley so I wasn't with her; instead, I was heading to work at the time. As I'm waiting for the bus I get a phone call from Shelley asking me if I had left yet...since I had just missed a bus and was sitting outside of our apt., she told me to go back inside and she would give me a ride to work.
When Shelley came home she said, "How good are you at reading ultrasounds?" To which I responded, "Why did you get an ultrasound today?" She put the picture in my face and replied, "Here's our baby..and HERE'S OUR OTHER BABY!!"
Needless to say we were both shocked. We never even gave the possibility of having multiples a thought. We are now nervous and scared and excited. The due date is April 27, but most likely they will come earlier than that. Elsa better start practicing carrying a baby around. Ahhhhh!

Congratulations on the multiples! My wife and I are also expecting twins, although our boys are coming in January. We had a similar experience - the first ultrasound didn't seem like there was more than one dude in there...but when we went for the second, the tech fired it up and said "Oh, hello, babies!"...to which my wife cried "BABIES??"
Luckily for us, these are our first children, so we don't know any different.
Incidentally, I'm friends with Shelley's step-sister, Christina...I'm not a random Internet stalker :)
Congrats again!

Clearly, the world is in need of more Thorners. We are so excited for you guys, and can't wait to meet these two new additions!
I'm in shock! Can't wait for you guys to move home so we can help :o)
I do not claim to be an ultrasound tech... but are they in the same sac? identical in that case.
Congratulations Shelley and Aaron! I am so excited for you!! I can't believe it...who will share the lactation station with you?
Two little peas in a pod. Or in a Shelly... umm... yeah.
I am so excited for the Thorner Family. After seeing what amazing parents you have been with Elsa, I have no doubt that you will be incredible parents to your two ne lil' peas.
I spelled Shelley wrong...
