Our lives changed forever on December 24, 2013.
We saw the the pink + sign on the pregnancy test just a few weeks earlier and we were at the OB office waiting to see our baby for the first time. As soon as the doctor had the wand in the right position, Sean and I knew our baby was actually two babies. There was no mistaking the two small black circles, each with a flickering white dot inside. It was the best Christmas gift.
I often get asked if I was shocked or scared to find out we were having twins. I was excited right from the beginning and so was Sean. The shock actually came at the next appointment two weeks later when the doctor briefly thought he saw an third embryo. I held my breath while the doctor took a closer look and determined that it was just shadow. After that brief moment of thinking we were parents of triplets, twins suddenly seemed much easier.
That was the first step of this journey into parenthood and things have been moving at full speed ever since
