Random event number: 14The doctors told you that you were having a singleton, but they missed a twin on all the ultrasounds. How are you dealing with the extra baby?John and I were beyond thrilled when we found out we were expecting our first child. We decided we wanted to wait until the delivery to find out if we were having a boy or a girl, although we had names chosen for both. I have always loved John's name, and so, if it was a boy, I knew I wanted to name him after his father. John wanted to use Elisabeth somewhere in the name, if it was a girl, and I agreed, as long as it was her middle name.The day of the delivery came, and when the baby was born, John announced her arrival with - "it's a girl!". She was absolutely gorgeous, with light brown hair and blue eyes. We had a few first names in the back of our minds, but one just seemed to fit - Sara Elisabeth.After Sara was born, I didn't quite feel right, and the doctor floored us with the announcement that there was another baby. What other baby? - we kept asking, and he explained that the second must have been hiding behind Sara. Minutes later, John announced the arrival with - "it's a boy!" Like his sister, he had light brown hair and blue eyes. He was the spitting image of his Daddy, and John William fit him perfectly.Despite the initial shock, we are thrilled now to have both Sara and John at home. The surprise couldn't have been more perfect - a daughter and a son. Both are absolutely perfect, gorgeous, happy, and healthy.
