6 Weeks: Lentil AND Pinto?

So I went for my first prenatal visit last Friday and it was interesting to say the least. Apparently I am some sort of enigma. The conversation between the nurse girl and myself went something like this...
NG: At first your urine test was negative....But then it was positive.
Me: Sooooo was it positive or negative?
NG: Oh it's positive, but I had to wait 5 minutes for it to show up and usually it shows up right away.
Me: So what does that mean exactly? Is that not right?
NG: Oh no. Everything is fine. I'm supposed to wait 5 minutes before reading it anyway.
Me: Well. Thank you for thoroughly confusing me.

Ok I didn't say that last part but I'm sure I made a face that expressed as much. And while we are on it, aren't all tests negative until they show up positive? I mean, really. One line and then two lines or one line and still one line -- either way, it starts out with just the one line. Come on. And if you were supposed to wait 5 minutes anyway, why even tell me it was negative before that? You might as well have come in and said "Oh well it was negative first. When I took it out of the box it was negative, and it was negative when I handed it to you, but then I waited the appropriately specified time after you peed on it and it was positive. So yeah. It's positive."

So we move on from all of that mess and the Dr tells me I'm just very early and my hormone levels might be lower than they normally see at a first visit (usually closer to 10 weeks). Good to go. Here is where the real doozie gets dropped....
She does the pelvic exam to measure the uterus after we have discussed my minor symptoms and such. She looks up with a perplexed face and says "I need you to be prepared for the possibility of twins. You are measuring 2 to 3 weeks ahead." What did you just say? Two? Maybe? What?

She schedules an ultrasound for 7 weeks. We will not only see the Bean's heartbeat next Wednesday, but possibly her brother's as well. What have we gotten ourselves into?
