We're Pregnant

I'm 9.5 weeks pregnant. We are so thrilled. And so humbled. We were thrilled to find out that our treatment worked. Ben and I both kind of knew inside that it would work. What we didn't fully know was this....

Twins at 7 weeks.

 Twins at 9.5 weeks.

We are having twins! It is such a miracle that both babies took and that our family is going to be a family of 5 in the middle of February. We are so incredibly grateful. It feels unreal. I guess what comes with having twins is awful morning sickness. I am sick all day, every day. Today I literally woke up sore from being sick all last night. I know it's worth it though. I know that there are women out there who would give anything to have morning sickness and to be able to say that they are pregnant. I was one of them. Ben has done so much for us. He has put Lucy to bed every night for the last several weeks. He has fed and cleaned her because I also have stopped cooking. We are so grateful and feel so blessed. Now I am trying to use these few months to prepare myself mentally and spiritually for this big event. I have a lot I need to improve on and I want to be the best parent I can to Lucy and the babies. I am so grateful for my doctors. They are miracle workers. I am so grateful for everyone who has prayed for us, taken care of us, and given us well wishes. I truly believe that there is strength in numbers and I am lucky to have so many people by our side.

9 weeks. 

Even though we have our little miracles on the way, I know that there are several well-deserving couples out there still waiting for theirs. My heart and sympathies go out to all of them. We love you and we pray for you. And so we can all know how to be polite and loving, here is an article my friend posted that I think is very fitting to our culture and their lack of awareness on the subject of infertility.
