Double Blessing

Kristoffer and I aren't much of gift givers for Valentine's Day, and this year we decided we weren't going to get each other anything. Instead, we were going to have a dinner at home with the boys...and our annual brownie with raspberries!

Although I didn't actually purchase anything, I did give Kristoffer (and myself!) and little gift...

I had found out the day before, but decided to wait and tell Kristoffer the morning of Valentine's Day. He was quite surprised that I was able to keep it quiet for the day!

That day was quite emotional, because that morning Rascal got very sick...and that didn't end too well. Our emotions were all over the place, but we had a little celebration that night...

...Kristoffer ate off the "Special Day" plate that night celebrating baby #3!

My new clinic wants all new OB patients to meet with a nurse when you first get a positive test to do initial blood work and set up future appointments. Since I had a previous c-section, they required an ultrasound to determine my exact due date. Our ultrasound was last week, and boy did we get a surprise...

...TWINS!!! We are expecting baby #3 & #4!!! I was in total shock with the tech said twins and I keep staring at the picture above in amazement! What a blessing to our family these precious two babies are going to be!

Finding out about the twins have really explained a lot, especially the fact that I feel COMPLETELY different than I did with either of the boys. I have been tired and/or sick just about every day since I found out. My doctor was at her desk after my ultrasound and she spent a few minutes talking to me about it, and she said that it was completely normal since my hormones are more than doubled right now with the babies.

It is hard to imagine how our lives are going to change in October, but we are so excited about adding 2 more beautiful babies to our family!!!
