Exhale
In hindsight, whether I knew it or not, today was the day that I had been waiting for — not just waiting the last 10 weeks, but waiting for years.
We had our (almost) 10 week ultrasound today and it was truly amazing. We were left relieved, in awe and feeling truly blessed. We are going to have two babies. Holy, holy!
For me in particular, there is a way in which I have now exhaled on a deep cellular level. The amount of relief I feel at this point is so great and the excitment I feel about being pregnant and having TWO babies is almost more than finding out we were pregnant in the first place. Why? Because now, we’re solid. These babies are big, healthy and are sticking around. We are gonna be mamas and we are celebrating like never before.
Code of Silence… Lifted!
We are lifting the code of silence! Still not quite on fb yet… a few people we still want to tell in person but for now, you should know that you (our special group of private inside peeps) are now free to speak, well… freely.
Video
We were so excited to see that or little ones are extremely active and as you’ll see in this totally cool video, apparently very entertaining to Dr. H. The giddiness in his voice warms my heart. After he was all done measuring he went back to just hang out and watch them a bit he was so enthralled (as were we, of course).
We took about 10 minutes of video but clipped it down to just over 4mins. Still, it’s too long to get on this blog so I’ve attached a link to our mobile me gallery.
Oh, and even though we’ve lifted the code of silence, please do keep this video private.
I hope you enjoy it. As you’ll see… we are totally in awe and overjoyed!
Make sure to turn up your volume… you’ll want to hear this bit Dr. H shares. If you don’t have 4 whole minutes, just listen to the last 30-40 seconds…so sweet.

Graduating
While it was super sad to leave ORM and we hugged and teared up with everyone we’ve grown so attached to, we were sent off with a fond farewell and a promise to keep in touch with major milestones and eventually our babies. Babies!!!!
I know I say this again and again but I just can’t stop feeling so much gratitude… to each and every one of you for all your prayers, love and support. Guess what?! WE DID IT!!!!
Much love,
regina
