Today, I went to the hospital in labor expecting a baby boy. I ended the day with identical twins, a baffled doctor, and a husband convinced that our sons can clone themselves. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I went to my first ultrasound appointment. The daughter I was hoping for is actually going to be boy triplets. FML
Science, bitch!
Today, one of my twin sons found out he's going to be a dad. His little sister who loves science ended up telling him that, since he has a twin who is genetically identical, he's genetically the baby's dad too. My son, being a bit dim, took this to mean his brother slept with his wife and hit him. FML
Classic grandma
Today, I announced my fourth pregnancy, this time with twins. I heard my mother mutter, “Finally two kids from the same dad.” FML
Not a clown car
Today, after we had our daughter on purpose, then had twin girls by accident, my husband was going to get a vasectomy while I also decided to get my tubes tied as an extra precaution. At the appointment, they did a scan to make sure I’m not pregnant already… BOOM! I’m 7 weeks pregnant with twins again. FML
Build your own
Today, after my wife gave birth to another of our daughters, she announced that this was the last one. When I reminded her I still needed a son to carry on my name, she replied, "Well, you've got four girls. You want a boy? Birth him yourself!" FML
Keep it in your pants
Today, my sister-in-law announced that she’s pregnant. With my kid. And the doctor thinks it might be twins. FML
Today, I came home to my wife crying. She had mixed up our newborn twin girls and couldn't tell which was which. I looked at the girls. Neither could I. FML
Suspicious coincidence?
Today, my wife had our first child. He's identical to her coworker. FML
Food for thought
Today, I was told I will be having twins; this came as a shock since there are no twins in my family. When I asked my mom about it, she said that she wasn't surprised and not to worry about it because she had "absorbed her twin" and that the problem would "take care of itself." FML
What are the odds?
Today, my husband is not talking to me because he was happy with the two children we had, but I had major baby fever and spent a year talking him into having just one more baby, and the ultrasound just showed I’m having triplets. FML

Yes, the doctor made a mistake but this error is actually quite common. I don't know why it is but it is. And the dad is probably in shock because he was expecting only one baby, not two. Most importantly, congrats to the mom and dad!

#35 you're taking this site so serious aren't you

Wouldn't that be "you're taking this site too serious, aren't you"?

What? He's not doing it wrong! This way everyone that wants two kids can do it without having two pregnancies! This doctor is brilliant! Why can't people see the positives!

Unless you get twins where one's black and the other is white.

68, it would actually be "You're taking this site too seriously." Seriously would be the adverb modifying the verb. If you're going to correct someone, at the very least, make sure you're doing it right.

45, if me giving an explanation, of why the dad said what he said, means I'm taking this site too seriously, according to you, why does it bother you? Are you honestly that bored? No one agreed with your comment but people managed to agree with me.

Its pathetic how people attack others on this site for minor grammatical errors. its not that big of a deal. if dey wuz talkin lyk dis then i could see it. but you knew what they meant.

You don't eat what you cook for family and friends? I would stay away from you if we're any of them. No telling what you shooting out in the desert and cooking. Or should I also say who?

....you married this guy?
Drigr 9
Yes, she married that guy, who are you to judge?
AKGirlinSD 20
Plus, according to the user name, both babies came out as the " CutestBoysEver." Give the husband a break, he's probably still in shock.

In the husband's defence, identical twins are technically speaking, clones, as they are 100% genetically identical. So the fellow isn't entirely wrong: though the actual "cloning" part will have occurred when they were still an adorable bundle of undifferentiated stem cells :)
TheApocalypse 5
Yes, she is married to this guy.. Hence why he is her husband.

Go advertise yourself somewhere else. "Arrested for it" I'm sure.

How many ultrasounds did you have? My doc checks the heartbeat everytime I have a check up. If he did that, wouldn't he notice 2 heartbeats? (Judging by your username, you seem to be handling this rather unexpected surprise well :)
MsMourningStar 22
Sometimes twins' hearts will beat at the same time making it I'm possible for the doctor to notice any difference. Especially if the babies are laying next to each other in almost the same position or convincingly enough that there is only one baby.
annie_nk 23
But what about ultrasounds? Generally, you need just one to check the gender and if everything is looking good. I'm guessing OP had just one and the twin was somehow missed. I'm no doctor so this is just a guess.
MsMourningStar 22
That's basically what I just said lol
annie_nk 23
D'oh! I read your comment too fast. :P My apologies.
MsMourningStar 22
It's okay! Lol

I have twins, and during my first ultra sound the doctor barely found the second baby. The ultrasound had been going on for about an hour and she had searched every inch of my stomach making sure everything looked ok. Then, at the last second she flicked across something and went OMG, there's two! And mine are fraternal and were in their own sacs and everything. With identical, they could have shared a placenta and been right on top of each other making it hard to distinguish both of them. I bet it is actually fairly common for doctors to miss!

I'd be concerned knowing that not only did I marry, but also bore the children of a man that has that kind of "logic."
spaboolly 26
I'm pretty sure the husband was not being serious. And it sounds like the OP just wanted to share the amusing story, rather than actually thinking her life sucked. Though I'm sure that unexpected surprise will come with some difficulties.
yankfan89 27
Give the husband a break he is probably very tired and just got a very big surprise. I am sure he now knows what he said is stupid.
jamalamadingdong 18
I thought the same thing as 24. That it was a joke! And the fml was more about the fact that she, unexpectedly, has two babies all of a sudden, not that her husband is really that stupid and truly believes their baby can clone itself

Congratulations!!

Congrats for unexpected twins! The more the merrier (:

Double the trouble but double the love, kisses and FUN!!!!!!! I love having twins myself
AussieChild 22
Congratulations!! And I love your husbands logic :P Plus what boys wouldn't love to hear stories of how they had superpowers and cloned themselves! :D

They'd probably argue over who's the original.
