We're having WHAT?

January of 2009

On the first week of January 09 we discovered we were pregnant! It started off with a 3 day process of taking (first response) home pregnancy tests. I used all 3 of them which came in the box. Shortly after on 1/7/09 I decided to go have a urine test at Planned Parenthood in Plano where I convinced myself I was not daydreaming when the nurse took me into a little room to tell me the news. I cannot express how it felt to hear that I was going to be a mom. It felt unreal, like something had hit me and I just couldn't move or breathe. It was a mixture of emotions that I still can't and will never be able to describe! I called "daddy" (my husband) right away and could feel the tension in his voice. This was a complete surprise for both of us. Right then I felt an instant connection to my child that was unlike anything I had ever felt before. I began to worry about many things and decided to begin prenatal care ASAP! One of my good friends recommended Dr.John A. Maxey in Irving, I talked to my husband and we went the following week.

1/14/09 (First Sonogram):

To our surprise we were very satisfied with the doctor and were ready to hear all about what was going on! I had my weight checked which was at 115 lb. and also blood and other tests, we also had sonogram. This was the most exciting part! The doctor told us that I was 6 weeks pregnant. He also told us some other very exciting news...we were having TWINS! I was really nervous to hear this so I began laughing..and my husband turned pale! Then he even said "I knew this could happen" since it runs in his family. We even got our first picture of them...!!

This is how it all started...!!! And this road of surprises was just at its beginning.
