Our Story

Hi All! We are so excited to be starting this blog and this journey. We decided it would be best to do this so everyone can keep track of what's going on with us and the babies. Some of you know how we got here but for the rest of you, let us bring you up to date.

So if you don't know, now you know. Twins are joining our family this summer. It has been a long journey to get here. But we'll spare you and give you the cliff notes. If you are asking, do twins run in their family.... no they don't. These blessings are coming to us via modern medicine. We struggled for almost 4 years and 2 failed IVF cycles to get here. We won't bore you with the gory details, but let's just say we truly didn't think we would ever have our own biological children. That makes this pregnancy that much more amazing! In case you are wondering, YES they are biologically ours. It just took us and our doctor to make them.

Now that you are up to speed on how we got this 2 piece mcnugget, let me update you on how they are doing. We had our first ultrasound last week at 6 weeks 3 days. Both babies were measuring 5w6d at that time. Twins generally measure behind because they have less space to share. Baby A's HR was 115 and Baby B HR was 105.  I(K) am of course freaking out about Baby B HR being so close to the bench mark of 100, but our doctors assure us they look perfect.  We have many milestones to cross before I'll stop worrying (probably not until they graduate college.) Our next ultrasound is this coming Friday. Hopefully we can actually hear the heartbeats.

We plan on (trying) to keep this blog updated each week so you, our friends and family, can keep updated with this exciting times in our lives. That is of course if I can keep my eyes open for more than 2 hours at a times :) We hate that we live so far from most of you, but hopefully this blog will help you feel more connected to us and vice verse. Welcome to the chaos!
