New Life, New Blog

Dear friends,

Our life is facing some pretty AMAZING changes. We want to share the joy with all of you, whether near or far. Therefore, we're getting serious about this blog. It will be updated regularly and you won't be dissapointed. :)

Without further ado...

We would like to officially announce that we're pregnant! It was a complete surprise! We saw the doctor for the first OB appointment last week and were given this:



This is the sonogram of our babies. Yes, you read that correctly. babies. twins.

Its pretty obvious that there is two in there. The one baby on the left has a great profile picture. If you look closely you can see the head and nose profiled at the top. The black space is the tiny brain forming. The 2nd baby was not at the same angle so he/she is just wiggling in the background. The good news is that they are both healthy with strong heartbeats. Hopefully happy too, but the technology can't exactly tell us that quite yet. One baby is 8mm and the other is 8.2 mm. They each have their own little rooms, so they are not sharing the same space. We're told that this arrangement is ideal and that we probably have fraternal twins.

Over the past few days Dan and I have been just processing the craziest surprise of our lives and we have come up with a new word:

TWINSANITY

kinda like insanity, but with twins.


We have also decided that since this is such a unique opportunity we wanted all the people we know and love to be able to walk this journey with us. We know it won't always be easy, but it will always be filled with love, joy and excitement. We're genuinely excited to chronicle this experience. Please feel free to leave comments and interact with us.


Love,
Dan, Lisa, baby A and baby B, Sydney and Raleigh
