Week 12
John and I are tickled pink (or blue) over our double blessing! This week has proven to be the most exciting and emotional thus far. Three months are complete on this Nine Month journey and needless to say we have experienced many laughs, tears, and fears.One cannot prepare for the surprise of not one but instead two tiny miracles. As the date of our first ultrasound neared, I simply attempted to warn John that my superior psychic powers had insisted we were having twins. Believe me, I was amazed at this female intuition as well. During our first ultrasound, I immediately spied two tiny white dots on the screen. John looked on quizzically until the ultrasound tech confirmed his suspicion. Indeed, there were two!! Baby A and Baby B!! After the shock subsided, we were ecstatic!
On Monday of this week, we went for our second appointment and ultrasound. It appeared that our dots had transformed into mexican jumping beans with tiny limbs! The twins were active and happy in their humble abode. Heartbeats were heard for the first time, and we breathed an enormous sigh of relief. God is so good!
