....and babies make four!

Well Rich and I are about to start our journey as parents this summer and we are so excited. We found out in early November that I was pregnant. I could not believe it. I really did not think it would happen so quickly but we are truly blessed and so happy.

Our first appointment was in mid Dec and we were excited to see how our little bean was growing. Little did we know that at that appointment we would get one of the biggest shocks of our lives. The first thing we found out at our appointment was that we are having twins. It was crazy to see two babies on the screen, but there they were. We had to go for some more testing to make sure there were only two babies and that everything looked normal. We were relived to hear that there were only two and both were healthy and strong.

I hope to keep a log of my appointments and my journey through this process. I have read up on twins and have found out that my pregnancy won't be like a singleton pregnancy. I am nervous, excited and honestly a little scared about our journey but I know we can do this and will have a wonderful family in the end.

Ups and Downs

These past few weeks have probably been the most difficult for me since C&D were born. I am for the most part a very upbeat and happy person, but in the past few weeks I can see that I am not really be myself. I have to find ways to deal with all the crying and screaming that goes on during the day. It is so true that with twins when it is hard it is doubly hard. Although when it is great it is so great. The Ups these days are seeing my kids learn new things like playing with blocks and Cadence learning she can put them together. She got the biggest smile on her face when she realized that they snapped together. Or when Dexter is chasing Holly around the house laughing hysterically. His face just lights up when Holly plays with him. These are the things I need to focus on! Life is really wonderful and we are so blessed! ~MoM

Day 7: A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact of you

Day 7: A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact of you Well this one is pretty simple. These two sure have made a huge impact on my life. A year ago kids were just a thought in my mind and never did I think I would have twins. I feel so blessed to have Cadence and Dexter in my life. Each day brings new joys and frustrations. I love them both so much and can't imagine life without them. As I sit here writing this Dexter has just woken up from his nap so this will be a short post. Family is everything!
