I Beg Your Pardon, Did You Say One Or Two Heartbeats?

So, my wonderful sister talked me and Scott into going to this Ultrasound school since my next doctor's appointment is in 4 weeks. My sister's family was there since they haven't all witnessed her baby's heartbeat. We saw her little bean, which Stefani is referring to as "her" and got to see the heartbeat. After Stefani was done, the student told me it was my turn.

I layed down, got that cold blue stuff on my belly and I got to see the heartbeat. As the student was looking at the screen she said, "oh there's the heartbeat" and then I hear Scott and my brother in-law say, "doesn't that look like two heartbeats?" After staring at the screen for a good two minutes, the lady states that she needs to call the Dr. in just to make sure. The Dr. comes in and says, "it does look like there are two heartbeats" and my sister screamed. He then tried to turn the volume up on the monitor and said, "it sounds like one heartbeat." He seemed very confused and didn't want to give me a final answer.

So my sister asks, "one or two babies?" and the Dr. said he was uncertain. So, as of today there is a 50/50 chance that I may have more than one baby in my belly. I was more than thrilled to see the heartbeat for the first time, but now I'm super excited if there are two. Wish me luck! My next appointment is June 14th and then I will give you the verdict of this possible twin mystery.
