Excuse Me while i try to put my five million thoughts into words...

Where to begin....2010 is a really good start. My life was in a rutt. I was working for my family business. A Job i actually enjoyed but was at a point where i needed a new challenge and at that point in my life i had been in the same place for too long, i was not in a happy work environment. Finally the GFC had taken its toll on the company finances and I was told to find another job asap.
After a month of looking, in May 2010, I accidentally stumbled into the corporate world...OMG, i was in heaven, business lunches and breakfasts, Hotel Functions (being in hospitality when  i was 17-21, i got so sick of being the person serving at the functions, i developed a secret and fierce detemination, to one day be the person attending the corporate function instead of serving at it)....I MADE IT! Small goal but big for my 20yr old self.
My Boss loved me, we had an instant connection and I did with my fellow colleagues, I think workwise, i found my happy place, my boss wanted to train me in her job, She was the credit manager for Qld for a Huge Global company...Big opportunity for me. We were always laughing and my co-workers said that i livened up the place and they didn't know how they managed without me. My boss would joke of how the next female she would employ would have to have already gone through 'the change' so there would be no disruptions.
6wks into my employment i found out i was pregnant........crap! I AM so happy but...How do i break this news to her...So i stand in her doorway to her office and tell her i need to speak to her, and i'm frozen to the spot, i open my mouth but words just fail me. It must have been a good 15seconds before she looked up with a "Well?" look... So i just rip the bandaid off and blurt it out, "I'm pregnant"...She was thrilled for me, she went all mushy. My theory is the tough girl thing is mostly an act...Then, i go tell my colleagues and one of them, "The Guy" bursts out laughing an announces, "You're going to have twins"
A few day later i go for my scan, i find out we are 6wks pregnant, the lady doing the ultrasound is frowning and not telling us anything, my husband is on the floor keeping our 2yr old busy playing with his trains. I lift my head off the pillow and finally say to her, can you tell me whats going on, you're frowning and its freaking me out, (Here's me thinking, OMG its a phantom pregnancy or something), she smirks and finally opens her mouth, um...i'm pretty sure there's two in there, It's twins...
TWINS!!!...it is Twins!...CRAP!!!
I look down at my husband and he is beaming with pride and excitement.... But Honestly, my first reaction is silience and i put my head back down on the pillow and stare at the ceiling, my thoughts are, Twins....money....childcare fees....there goes the career, I will have to stay at home, OMG this will change my life forever...OMG teenage girls!!! please God don't let it be twin girls, i'm so in love with my little boy, i want another Boy. A Boy and Girl would be perfect (what an idiot, as if i had a choice LOL)
My next thought is, i need to whack my co-worker across the back of the head. (Dont get me wrong, this news was totally awesome but at this point, i;m trying to get my head around so much new information i thought i was going to melt down). Even knowing my Father In Law was an identical twin, it still never occurred to me that it might happen to us. But we don't know what type they are. The Clinic i was at could not identify the type. (Due to incompetence, i'm later to find out, the earlier in the pregnancy the easier to detect). After 3 different clinics i am given an appointment for the Mater Hospital Specialist.
