Good morning, everyone! It's Tuesday, November 23rd. I am typing this to remind myself that time has not stopped no matter how much I keep telling myself that it MUST have stopped.
24 hours ago, Chris and I were in the ultrasound room finding out that there were 2 BABIES inside of me! Baby boy Even and baby girl Even. I had a hard time falling asleep last night ...
"Will 2 cribs fit in the nursery? How will we decorate for a boy and a girl? 2 car seats, 2 strollers, 2 BABIES."
I finally did fall asleep but then woke up bright and early this morning thinking:
"Did yesterday really happen?! It couldn't be real. I must have dreamt that. PINCH ME!"
My reality check came in nice and strong when I went into our office (soon-to-be nursery for 2!) and picked up the ultrasound pictures to find that there were still 2 babies on the pictures.
"Ok, so it IS real. Will 2 cribs fit in the nursery? How will we decorate for a boy and a girl? 2 car seats, 2 strollers, 2 BABIES."
I cried again this morning, feeling scared, overwhelmed, and exhausted ... and then a sense of elation came over me.
"2 BABIES! A little girl AND a little boy to love, care for, dress up, play with and raise with my wonderful husband. 2 babies!"
The more I processed this information, the more excited I became and the more calm I felt.
"We can do this - not without the extreme support of our families and friends and lots of prayers - but we can do this. And we will! And we will have the best time together! "
Some of you have asked how we were feeling this morning...I am having a hard time describing all of our emotions in one cohesive sentence, but this about sums it up: This is gonna be awesome! :)
