looking back over the past 5 or 6 months……. its not that much hasnt happened, its just that I havent had the time/effort/patience to write a 3 page update on whats new with us.

I still really dont have that time/patience thing going on, but here it is anyways!

to start, Jen and I have been trying to conceive for the good part of two and a half years, and as of January…….. WE’RE PREGNANT! Well, I shouldnt say WE, although I look pregnant at times, Jen is actually the one we’ve decided will carry our baby. It’s the greatest thing to know that after 2+ years of trying that its finally our turn. It was starting to get disheartening knowing lots of friends/family were having kids, yet the people that wanted them most couldnt seem to be that lucky. But finally its our time, and we’re ready for it. Our home is in order, our finances are in order, and when we moved we had kids in mind. Although we liked our last home, it just wasnt the area in which we thought would be good for kids to grow up in. Now we’re in a great little tucked away subdivision of new homes, mostly younger families like us, that will be a great environment for kids.

That being said (the kids part….) the news is ***drum roll please*** we’re having a girl!!!! (Oh, AND a boy, thats right, you read that right,  TWINS!) Without asking Jen I could probably go on record as saying that was the happiest day of our life together to know that we’ll not only be parents, but parents of twins! I’ll admit, it was a shock as well as a great suprise when we went for the Ultrasound last Friday, since we didnt know thats what we had in store. After the first 5 seconds of initial shock on both of our faces, then the ‘glow’ set in. Such an amazing thing, and even better, we’re having a boy and a girl, exactly what we had both hoped our family would end up as.

Now that we’ve had a weekend to let the shock wear off, we’re really just thinking of how lucky we are in so many senses of the word. We’re too now able to start the family that we’ve wanted since the day we were married. Dont get me wrong, I know its going to be insane having two infants around that will take up 99.9% of our time, but that completely trumps the month after month knowing that there goes another opportunity to start our family.

Well I know that one post doesnt make up for 5 or 6 missed months, but the news from this one should make up for it

So here is it: Baby A and Baby B *note, they already have names waitin’ for them too*
