Bowen had previously announced her pregnancy this past fall . She and husband Scott Phillips were preparing to welcome a baby boy or girl. It wasn’t till just recently that they realized they’d actually gotten a 2fer and so they’ve announced that they’re now expecting twins!
I do have to wonder what the hell that second baby has been doing this whole time to avoid detection. Never been preggers, so I don’t know exactly how many weeks along you have to be to be able to count the babies, but she made the original announcement back in November. How much faith can you have in your doctor when they miss an entire second human being just chillin in your womb?
lol great post!

That made me laugh.

I’m sure they knew about the twin sooner. they are just announcing it now.
I found out at my 18 week ultrasound. I even asked “why are there two circles?” To which she replied “Oh, that’s just the abdomen.” “Okay, but why are there two?” “It’s just an odd angle.” Twenty minutes later, we had to restart the ultrasound after she realized there WAS another baby!
Eh, my sister-in-law was only about six weeks when she found out she was having twins. Went in for her first check-up, asked if she could have an ultrasound just to see the little baby (I wish my doc had been that agreeable!), and lo-and-behold, there was another one. Guess it depends on when you get a “peek”.
I recently had twins, and we thought there was only one at first as well. My husband’s a doctor, and even he missed it! When having twins, one baby can often hide behind another and it looks like a “shadow” on the ultrasound. Also, it’s very usual for a both babies hearts to be beating in the same rhythm, so that can also be missed!
