Thoughts on Having Twins

That's right, folks, I am 9 weeks along with twins. We found out today that there are two little people growing inside me. We were shocked and pleased to see two little ones, now we are on our knees for the little one that seems to be having a little trouble. The little one is in a very small sack without a lot of amniotic fluid around it. It's measuring about 4-5 days younger than the other baby, which at this stage is a significant difference. The babies themselves both have great heart rates, strong and steady, so that's a great thing. So our prayer warriors are already on fast and prayer detail.

Come on, little ones, you can do it! Alex and Nathan are stoked about the whole thing. We had a babysitter over tonight because I had to go back tonight for lab work, and Alex was quick to burst with our good news, "Mommy's having twins!" As we watched the ultrasound video tonight, we could see the wheels turning in Nathan's head as he looked at the screen, felt my belly, then looked at the screen some more.

K, I passed out while giving my labs tonight (yeah, big wimp!), so I'm beat and really need to crawl in bed after such a long and exciting day.

You can see our ultrasound and what to pray about at:
