Yesterday, Ryan and I had a huge surprise. We're pregnant. But that's not the surprise... we have known that for a while now. I went in for my first ultrasound yesterday and it turns out that we are having TWINS!!! It was the big joke around here that of course I would be the one having twins since we got pregnant so soon after Brad, so as soon as the nurse said "congrats, you're having twins" I immediately said, "no, you're joking". But she wasn't. There they both were on the monitor moving around. I think I'm still in shock because Ryan is worried at how well I'm taking the news :). That means I will have 3 babies under the age of 18 months, possibly 17 months. And I have always looked at women who have had twins and thought, wow- how on earth does she do it? But I guess in 6 short short short months, we will find out. Yes, I am 12+ weeks along already and they are due to arrive September 1st but will most likely come early. So any advice on surviving with twins (more like triplets) is welcome. You're in shock? Ya- me too.

I am SO happy for you both! I have heard that the first two years are hard, but then it starts to get easier and more fun! You are going to love it! Do you know if they are identical yet?
Oh. My. Goodness!! That's crazy! You got the two-for-one special! George is on a flight right now, he's gonna die when he hears about this. He thinks twins would be ideal for the 'last children' that way no one is left 'home alone' as the youngest. Good thing you guys are so awesome, you'll do great! Congratulations :)
