Double Blessings

Derrick and I went to meet with our new doctor on Wednesday afternoon. It was so nice he was able to leave work and meet me there. Definitely not something I was used to in Russellville. It is a huge perk of his new job. As long as he's not in class he'll be able to make all our "big" baby appointments. I was so nervous and excited before the appointment. Our blood work led us to believe it might be multiples so I really wanted to find out. So we found out that we are having twins!! There were two sacs and two little beginnings of babies. I was just 5 weeks on Wednesday which is really early to try to see anything, but we saw them. We are nervous, excited and overwhelmed by God's faithfulness.

 

Dr. Julieann Parker

Above is our new doctor. I really liked her. She took the time to answer all my questions; which we all know I had a bazillion!! So I will be going to the doctor once a week for the first trimester because we have IVF babies and I will need to be seen more. My second and third I will hopefully get to go like normal. I will be having a sonogram next week too. :) I can't get enough of seeing those precious kiddo's. My nephew Jaden refers to the babies as Spiderman and Superman. So that's what we've started calling them until we find out what we are having. 

Please pray that we live in peace!! It's hard to not have fear set in. Will both make it?? Is everything going to be ok?? I'm dead set on enjoying this time and resting in the fact that God gives and he is in control. I think it's really funny that we are having twins. It's like God is blessing us with more than we could have asked for. Derrick loves to say "Two for the price of one"! :)

 

Psalm 30:4-5 (MSG)

All you saints! Sing your hearts out to God!
      Thank him to his face!
   He gets angry once in a while, but across
      a lifetime there is only love.
   The nights of crying your eyes out
      give way to days of laughter.
