I got one word for you..... Twins


It was supposed to be just a routine follow-up from Kristy's first visit with her doctor which verified that we were expecting our third child. This visit was supposed to be a health and wellness check to make sure Kristy was doing good. Even though Kristy was told that no ultrasound would be done on this visit she was still hopeful that they would change their mind. We were just excited to get a glimpse of the newest member of our family. Well the check-up went great, Kristy was deemed healthy but there was one concern, the baby appeared to be developing in size way too fast... Kristy got her wish, the doctor ordered an ultrasound to verify the due date. The photo above was just before we obtained the ultrasound, I am sure at this moment Kristy was simply excited that we were going to get that glimpse of our new baby.......

The funny thing about this is that Kristy has always said how much fun having twins would be. In fact one of her good friends just had a set of twins last summer and Kristy was nothing less than jealous. I kept reminding Kristy that she just could not order a set but she was determined that she too would experience this blessing.

The ultrasound technician started the ultrasound and not 30 seconds into it she boldly said "well that’s why, you're having twins" I asked her if she was kidding and she stated that she never kids about something like that. I wish I could explain the excitement Kristy and I were feeling, we were simply overwhelmed. We have been smiling ever since!

Now this will certainly be an interesting experience as we continue on our journey of education but now too will learn something many will never know, the life of raising twins. I can't wait!
