I have been in a tizzy all week since my daughter was told by her doctor that she is either further on with her pregnancy than she thought or else she is having twins! 
I didn't know whether to be shocked, excited or scared (and it's not me having the baby!!) Anyway, we went for her scan today and she is just 9 weeks pregnant and there is just one baby and my daughter is relieved since she already has my beautiful grandson Andrew who has just turned 1 year in December! So why did I feel sad when it was confirmed that it isn't actually twins?? 
I think I'm just being stupid and I'll get over this. I'm truly grateful for the fact that my daughter is well and I know that twins would've been an awful lot for her to cope with.....but I would have helped! 
I am sooooooo looking forward to my new grandchild so message to myself "dry your eyes and stop being an idiot!" 
There's something magical about the prospect of twins, even when it's not something a parent/grandparent is prepared to hear! I've known of people feeling this way before... you were probably excited about possibly having twin grandchildren and didn't even realize it! I'm glad your daughter is healthy and hope her pregnancy runs smoothly!
Best wishes!
Wendy
Wendy, I think you're right. Although my mouth kept saying how difficult it may be with more babies, my heart must have secretly thought the idea was really more appealing than I cared to admit. I know I am lucky to be a grandmother in the first place so I'll be more conscious of my heart in future before my mouth says something it ought not to! 
I just came across this post and I just have to say being a mother of twins, it was diffcult my oldest was only 3 when her twin sisters were born. But we made and I would change it for the world. God knows what we can handle and he doesn't give us more than we can bear. I know you don't know me but I pray that your daughter has a good pregnacy and a healthy baby.
Thank you all for the lovely responses to my post! I've just spent the weekend looking after my grandson and I surely know how lucky I am. I've stopped thinking of myself now and I promise to concentrate on my daughter and help her through this pregnancy.
Silly me! 
Cheers everyone!
<-----first....thats what my husband looked like when we found out it was twins
second this is me now---->
and please...NO ONE brand me as the bad mom.....because my twins ARE my world.....but someone get me a nanny...some tequila .....a cage...something!!!
I wouldnt trade them for anything....but it is extremely hard. It is so exhausting......the preg in itself was hard....then the going home with one baby and not the other was one of the hardest things I have EVER done. ....up until i got them both home that is!!!
Ive seriously still yet to sleep and they are 2 now....one sleeps the other doesnt. That started WAY early on! the second you got the one who was up down the one who was down got up! I would cry....literally right along with them!
Simple things like changing diapers can drive you nuts....because you change one wash up ...and ta-da that seocnd baby who didnt need a change a second ago...does now!
and now....they are two....ummm ....lets just leave it as ....Im writing this while one is standing on top of a turn over toy box....dare you to ask where his twin is...!!!! 
they are a blessing....and I couldnt imagine my life without them.....but maybe this will help you understand why its ok to wipe your brow that there is one baby in that belly!!
twinsline7 - You really have made my day! I thank you for putting this into perspective for me in such a comical manner! I just know you adore those boys and you have managed to make me feel like I have just witnessed a reality TV show with your commentary on a typical day in your life! I can fully appreciate that it wouldn't be me who would be up all night and every night or having to do all the washing so it is very easy for me to be wishing there had been more babies when I should have concentrated on the blessing of one!
I hope you find some peace at some point or at the very least I hope you manage to get a good bargain on a cage!
Thank you for being so up front with this information and making me laugh in the process.
A big hug for your boys! I wish I could be a nanny for the day for you!
Have a wonderful day
