I started this blog after being inspired by an old friend. My goal is to keep up with it! I am famous for starting projects and never finishing. For instance, when I became pregnant I decided to keep a journal. I made it two weeks before putting it down and not picking it up again.....oops.
A little background on our family:
Matt and I met in May of 2005, in a bar. I was working as a cocktail waitress while finishing college and he happened to come in for a beer with his buddies. There was an instant attraction, at the end of the night he asked for my phone number and I gladly gave it to him. We were married two years later.
I found out I was pregnant in July 2009, that same morning we left for the annual family camping trip. It was sooooo cold, I kept thinking "This can't be good for the baby". The last couple of nights we slept in the car with our 3 dogs to keep warm.
At six weeks pregnant I had an ultrasound, I remember seeing the first dot and then another one. The ultrasound tech said, "Did you see that?", I hesitantly said "Yeah?". The next thing I knew she was congratulating me on having twins. Needless to say, I was in shock. I should have waited to tell Matt in person, but didn't. I called him at work and he was speechless. When it was time for my next ultrasound he said, "If they find another one, don't tell me".
Bradley and Ella made an unexpected arrival in February 2010, they were 6 weeks premature. I consider this the best and worst day of my life. I was so excited to meet them, but I knew it would've been best to carry them a couple weeks longer. After a short stay in the NICU, Bradley came home. A week later Ella did too.
They are 12 weeks old now and thriving!! I quit my job and I am officially staying home to raise our family. I love my new job!
