Blessed Twice Over
We couldn't feel more blessed for our double-the-fun adventure that will begin in March! That's right, identical twin boys are on the way!!
Never did I imagine this being a possibility in my life, as I thought twins was only genetic. Turns out that identical twins (when the egg splits) has nothing to do with genetics and science really has no explanation why it happens. My take on it - that's what science isn't everything because God certainly had his hands in on this one and gave us a blessing for the books!!
At our 9 week appointment, where we were only looking to hear "Everything's great and yep, you're pregnant", our lives changed forever when the Dr. instead said, "I've got a surprise for you! There's two! YOUR'RE HAVING TWINS!!" At that time I'm not sure if I wish someone had been video recording us or if I'm thankful that was not documented...but I'm sure our faces were priceless! After that initial shock wore off we settled into realizing how awesome this really is and what a gift, I mean gifts, we have been given! While it's been stressful throughout the whole pregnancy, and will probably continue...that's just how I am...it has been filled with SOOO much love, excitement and amazing memories with each other and our family and friends.
One of the many awesome perks to being pregnant with twins is how many ultrasounds you get. I have MANY pictures of my boys and I get to see them swimming around much more often than a singleton pregnancy. I have to say that I LOVE being pregnant and it's been so much more fun to tell people that not only are we expecting, but we're expecting TWO!
Keep the prayers and good thoughts comin' our way and thank you for all the support you've already all given us! We truly feel nothing but blessed and loved!
