Currently, we are 15 weeks pregnant with twins. We do not know the sex(es) yet, but on Sept. 9th we find out! YAY!
These are truly our miracle babies. After being contraception free (as well as baby free) for 5 years, Chris and I decided we needed more help to get pregnant. We enlisted the help of Dr. Gunnala and she worked her magic, unknowingly however. She gave us a 2% chance of conceiving with out any procedure. Taking that into consideration we decided to go forward with artificial insemination aka IUI. We ended up missing the time frame for the IUI but had already started the process of taking Clomid. Which apparently, was all we needed to conceive twin babies!
Our pregnancy has gone swimmingly and we are unbelievably thankful for this opportunity. Even with the IUI procedure, we had only an 8% chance of conceiving. While we were going forward with the procedure, we never believed we would get pregnant.
God gave us the biggest blessing of our lives and we absolutely can not wait to meet our two babies and begin our lives together!
So far pregnancy has been both wonderful and difficult. My first trimester was challenging. I had morning sickness all day every day for about a month. I was exhausted, and dare I say unbelievably moody. There were about two weeks that I stayed in bed every day, the entire day. I can't complain though, because around 10 weeks pregnant the morning sickness subsided and I was full of energy.
The last week or so the energy has waned and insomnia plagues me. I know however, that soon I will be feeling the babies move and my tummy will begin to REALLY show. I can tell I am pregnant but other people can't yet.
This week I will begin to take pictures of my belly on a weekly basis and post them here. At the end of the pregnancy you will be able to 'watch me grow' :-)
That is all for my first post! Looking forward to more :-)
