Needle and Thread - going crazy

Just gotta laugh here... last night for some reason I was thinking what it would be like to have a girl.  I have two boys, one is 3 the other 11 months. I'm now 11w4d.  I've done the needle and thread thing many many times.  Always getting B, G(m/c), B, B.  I swear by this because it has been correct for every family member we have tried it on.

I've had two u/s so far. One at 4w5d and one at 7 wks.  Always showed one sac. One heart beat.  My oldest keeps saying I'm having a Bob and a Wendy. That is Bob the Builder and his friend, he is a big fan.  

Here is the kicker, last night I just felt the need to test.  Well doesn't it say girl and then goes straight to boy, TWINS.... lol.  I did it with the needle and thread, with my chain and cross, and with my chain and wedding ring.  Always girl/boy over my belly.  Even when doing it over my palm it is now going B, G(mc), B, GB.  I know it is just a fun guessing game but I'm going crazy now... lol.  I keep thinking maybe on sac was hiding behind the other.  I don't even think that is possible.  Also when I had my appointment at 10w5d my doctor was total shocked that she could hear the heart beat that early using her fetal doppler monitor.  She says she has never had one that early before.  Now I'm thinking hm... maybe my uterus is bigger because there are two babies... lol

Talk about turning into a crazy pregnant lady... lol.  Just had to share my thoughts with you all, something a little light hearted!   Maybe I will be one of those moms that finds out on the 3rd U/S that she is having twins... (smile)

I tried the needle and thread thing and I pray for a boy and girl but I'm dooooomed.  Plus DH doesn't think I hold it steady enough.  Good luck.

I had a dream last night that my mom had twins.  I'm 22 now....and they were newborns.  My mom is young though (41) and my dad is (44) so it is possible but....no...but we were Lowes and she gave me the option to name them.  It was to weird.
