Most of you know our big news, but for the rest of the world, here it is!!!
Connor was able to help us share our wonderful news. I found out on Mother's Day that we were expecting Baby number 2. It was truly a wonderful Mother's Day gift. We were going to wait to share the news with our parents (and the world) for a couple of weeks, but Connor had other plans. While getting ready to leave our Wednesday night small group, Connor decided he would tell everyone there that he was going to be a big brother. So needless to say, we spilled the beans to our parents over the next couple of days.
Over the next week, I had a very minor complication and the Dr ordered an ultrasound, just to make sure everything was good. I wasn't expecting an ultrasound at 5 weeks and didn't know what we would see. All that the tech could visualize was an embryonic sac, no heartbeat yet. It was to early on to see a heartbeat so the Dr had me come in 1 week later to see the heartbeat. It is truly a miracle that at 6 weeks there is a beating heart! So at the second ultrasound, Dale and I were shocked, stunned, happy, scared, laughing and crying to see 2 strong heartbeats!!!
That's right, TWINS!!!! I'm expecting identical twins. It was so much fun to share this news with everyone. I'm still very early on in the pregnancy and will have my first official Dr visit on Wednesday. I'm not sure when the babies are due but sometime near the end of the year. I should be due Jan 17th, but with twins a full term pregnancy is 38 weeks, and who knows how long I will last.
Dale and I are very excited about this and ask all of you, to keep us in your prayers as we try to navigate this wonderful challenge God has given us!!!
God Bless and enjoy your week!!
