At first being pregnant with twins..we went in and I took a test at home and it came out positive.

I looked at my boyfriend and I was like oh my goodness...he had said twins ran in his family, and it was bout time for them to come up again because they came like every 3rd generation..i blew him off though because i was like naw, thats not going to happen..When I she announced 2, I was like no, he cant be right..
