Twins!

We are so excited to share that we are expecting twins on August 3, 2011!!!

We started going through the invitro cycle for the second time back in November. We had two embryos transferred on November 16th. On November 29th I went in for my first bloodwork/pregnancy test late that afternoon. While I was at work on Tuesday, December 30th, Richard got the phone call that we were pregnant! He was so thrilled and my numbers were so high he set up a huge surprise for me! He hung balloons and streamers from the ceiling fan, had cups of baby confetti and silly string! When I got home from school that day with Grady this was the surprise I saw! I was so ovewhelmed and happy! I had convinced myself that it was going to be negative so it took me a minute to even process that this wonderful miracle had happened! My HCG number was 2,429! It only has to be over 10! With Grady we were at 273, so we were already guessing twins this day! Three days later I went in for another blood test and on December 3rd our nurse called and my HCG number was 6,321! VERY high! We were thrilled and thanking Jesus for every part of this miracle! Then, yesterday on Monday, December 13th we went for our first ultrasound. We were very nervous because we thought I was having a miscarriage from some complications I had been having all night. We found out that it was from a blood clot and that we were pregnant with fraternal twins! They are both healthy and doing GREAT! We go back on Wednesday, December 22nd! Until then I am on bed rest to help keep the babies safe!

Grady LOVED kicking the balloons around and dumping the confetti cups! First prego picture! 5 weeks!
