December 27, 2009...Two!?!

The past few days have been amazing. Although the weather wasn't always on our side, we still mananged to fit in Christmas with all of our family. Tons of great food and lots of fun!

I am pretty sure we received the best Christmas present EVER this year. We went in for our first ultrasound on December 23rd and we found out that we are expecting TWINS!!!!  There are absolutely no words to describe the emotions we experienced when the ultrasound tech showed us the monitored and said "here is one baby...and the heartbeat. And here is the SECOND baby...and it's heartbeat."  We were both blown away!  How awesome it was to be able to see two heartbeats. Just like the news we received when we found out we were pregnant, I thought this too would take a little while to sink in.....but I was wrong!!  With the way I have been feeling the last couple of days, it's definately hit me like a ton of bricks. Christmas day was probably the turning point for me. Up until that point I felt pretty good. Only about a week of morning sickness, just in the morning, but other than that I really felt great. Now, I am finally feeling pregnant...really pregnant. Which, is exactly the way I've been praying to feel for the past three years, so I still don't feel like I can complain much. Although Cody might disagree with me on the complaining part! We are continuing with my daily progesterone shot...only 5 more weeks!! What a great day that will be when we can stop those horrible things. Our next ultrasound is scheduled for January 7th, just to make sure things continue to look good and at that point my doctor will probably turn us over to the regular OB. We have been blessed with such an amazing staff at the fertility clinic, it will be hard to leave them.

This December was filled with nothing but blessings for us. There are times where we start to panic a little about the future and how we will manage, but we have faith that the Lord will guide us through just as he always has.
