Splitting My Intelligence Quotient Three Ways?

For the most part, I've kept my wits about me this pregnancy and am not quite as ditsy or absentminded as one might have thought I would be, considering I can be fairly ditsy and absentminded sans fetus(es).

I have had a few moments, though, when my mind hasn't performed quite up to snuff. Take for instance yesterday afternoon, when I was at Barnes and Noble with J looking for some light reading. I decided to quickly peruse the expectant mother section but had difficulty finding it. From a few yards away, I saw the "Nursing" section and wondered how they could have two entire bookshelves devoted to nursing your baby and none to pregnancy. Uh, yeah, that would be a section for nurses and not breast feeding mothers. When I found the right section, I didn't actually buy a book. I may buy one later, but, for now, I figure almost all the (mis)information I need is available free on the internet.

I have another ultrasound tomorrow and am very anxious to know if we will see one heartbeat or two. I have, of course, done some internet research and "vanishing twin syndrome" is not uncommon. This is where I would absorb one of the fetuses, but the other fetus would continue on normally. I'd prefer not to absorb one of my babies, and though I would be a little sad if we see only one heartbeat tomorrow, I would also be very happy to see at least one heartbeat.
