When Dr. Neilson looked with an ultrasound, he saw nothing, but when he did a blood test, that results came back double what they were, which meant it was either twins or no good. The next day he looked again and there were two tiny sacs.

There were many things I loved about his house but that was a main one, along with the glass tea set I am still shocked they let me play
