An Announcment

I know we haven't blogged in forever. But what better way to start back blogging with a wonderful announcement. Here's a clue. :)


It's true. Eloise is reading up because she is going to be the big sister of twin siblings! I'm 13 weeks, and feeling pretty good today.

We knew we were pregnant. At 6 weeks, we went into our doctor for our normal first appointment. We got an ultrasound, only to have our doctor announce that we have twins. We were both shocked. We both got teary and laughed. We laughed so much that my doctor told me that I had to stop for a bit so he could get both babies' heartbeats.

Both babies continue to grow and everything so far looks healthy. We are so thankful.

We are learning more and more about twins. We are so thankful for our ob and our ultrasound doctor. We know that this pregnancy is high risk, so with that comes more anxiety, but we're learning that these babies are the Lord's already. So for that, we are thankful, and we continue to learn how to trust.

We can't believe we're really having twins. Every now and again, more realities settle. We are so excited, and for now, we are just preparing, learning, and enjoying our time as a family of 3. Eloise doesn't know what is happening yet, although she does know where to point when we ask her where the babies are. She is such a joy, and it has been such a sweet time to enjoy her.

Well, that's all for now. Just wanted to share the news!
