It's a boy! It's a girl! It's another boy! It's another girl!

Needless to say, when Ben and I realized the doctor found not one, two, or three heartbeats but four, we were shocked. It was the most terribly wonderful news of our marriage. We had been trying for as many years as we had heartbeats but had miscarried right about the time cardiac activity should have been developing. But there they were, four little blinkers flashing on the ultrasound screen. We got four when one of the implanted embryos decided to split, making identical twin girls. The other two heartbeats became our two boys.
