...well, I did. I'm pregnant!!!!!...and I am the happiest girl in the world!!
The day after being heartbroken over two negative tests and posting Music for lack of words, I got the positive test I have dreaming of. I told Matt and my family on Christmas eve and his family on Christmas day.
It was amazing surprising our families! Matt had our camera set up on a tripod, and after saying "cheese" for a family picture, he switched the camera over to record and said, "everyone say, Natalie's pregnant!" It was awesome!!
We are so very blessed and grateful for this enormous gift that we have been given. Oh, and there is another even more amazing blessing: WE ARE HAVING TWINS!!! Our babies are due at the end of the summer.
I have been dreaming, way before I was even pregnant, of sharing this moment with the world. Now, to be able to do it, is indescribable. Today, I am 11 weeks, 1 day pregnant. This week, our babies are the size of a large plum each.
Yesterday we had our 3rd sonogram. Our babies like to move!! They were dancing for us as we watched them with smiles so big!
...and don't think I have kept my blog in the dark since I have known I was pregnant. I have been writing hidden posts of everything that has been going on up until now. I will start publishing them, everyday until it is caught up, starting tomorrow. Can't wait to share these posts with you!!
I have been trying, for hours now this morning, to upload the videos of us surprising our families and of our tiny dancing babies. I'm so anxious to share this blog with everyone though that I have now decided to include the videos in a separate post. I am shaking with excitement to post and share this!!! My heart is pounding...
It has been so very difficult not sharing my news with everyone. I couldn't bear the risk of something going wrong and having to answer to more than a handful of people. Holding this secret in has been so difficult, not only for me, but to my family and best friends. It's out now!
I'M PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so thrilled and over-joyed. THANKFUL. Welcome to my new journey. :)
I'm going to be a mommy!, -Natalie
Congratulations, Natalie! You must have told your families immediately after finding out! We're also 11 weeks along with our little one. We told some of our closest friends immediately, knowing that we needed their prayers then since the first couple of months of pregnancy are the most volatile for the baby.
ReplyDeletePraying for a safe, healthy pregnancy for you and your twins!
Wow Nicole!! That's amazing!! Congratulations! What a blessing to bring another baby into an already gorgeous, God loving family...I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYes, we told our families pretty quickly. I found out the Friday of Christmas weekend, and we told my family Christmas eve, and his Christmas day...it was so special that we found out that weekend. There was no way I could hold it in since we were going to be with all our family, haha! My dr cleared me to share our news with everyone at 9 weeks, but I decided to be safe and wait it out a couple more weeks.
I have begun praying for your pregnancy also and I wish you the very best! :)
