Yes, you read that right... We are having twins. There are two yolk sacs, so there is a higher chance they are fraternal, but still a chance they could be identical.
Science has not discovered what causes identical (monozygotic) twins. It happens at virtually the same rate across cultures. One of life's little mysteries.
Fraternal (dizygotic) twins are typically an inherited condition, passed down on the mother's side. Women who have dizygotic twins in their family often ovulate two eggs each month (this is that part that is genetic and passed from mother to daughter). Twins also have a higher occurrence in women over 35.
Reactions
Mom (Vicki) - Sounded like she was having a heart attack. Apparently she was walking around at work and people started asking her if she was okay. She told them she just needed to sit down!
Mom (Teresa) - Said something like, "Well I'm just getting ALL of my grand babies at once now!!!"
Dad said something like, "When you do something, you do it right the first time!" :)
Grammy was very excited. She said, "You could have told me anything else & I would have less shocked than I am about this!"
