"Yep, I see two babies in there!"

These were the words of our ultrasound technician only a few short months ago. I can't describe the joy that Kyle and I felt after this wonderful news. I don't think either one of us felt scared or overwhelmed...we just felt incredibly happy and blessed. After praying for a baby for a year, the best news we could have gotten was that God was giving us 2 babies instead of 1!

These are our babies at about 18 weeks. This was the first time we had seen pictures of them when they actually looked like little humans and not little blobs (or astronauts with blast shields, as Kyle affectionately called them). Tomorrow we go in for "the big ultrasound", when they will measure them, make sure they are both growing, look at all the vital organs, etc. This is also the time when we would find out what their genders are, if we wanted to know. But we are not going to find out, which we have found out is not the popular choice between family and friends. :) But we can't wait for the day when they come into the world and we receive the wonderful surprise of finding out if our babies are boys or girls, or both!

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Because they are twins, the babies and I will be watched closely over the next months, eventually having ultrasounds every two weeks. Our due date is June 4th, but our doctor tells us our babies will come early because there are two. We are praying they stay put until at least week 36!

We are excited to invite you to join us on this wonderful adventure! More posts to come!
