I finally got a positive pregnancy test after 3 months of "trying"! I was shocked...ad scared at the same time. After 2 rounds of blood work and all my levels seeming okay (I was put on progesterone to boost my pregnancy), I went in for a 6 week sono...all by myself waiting for more bad news! Well...I got the biggest surprise of my life....there were 2 sacks...of course the ultrasound tech said don't worry..lots of times pregnancies start as 2 but the 2nd sack dissolves and only 1 baby is left. Well...we looked over the first sack...and seen a tiny little baby with a heartbeat! Everything looked good! Such a relief...onto the next sack...and what do you know...another little baby inside with a heartbeat! Congratulations she said...you're definitely having TWINS! I immediately thought...this is Heavenly Father's way of giving me back the little one I lost earlier this year. Then I cried...and cried...scared..and also VERY overwhelmed at the thought of carrying TWO babies and taking care of them....going from a family of 3 kids to 5 all at once...oh dear!
Anyhow...I was scheduled for a repeat sono for 8 weeks...which is the picture you see now! I went in solo again....in fear of the worst....and there I seen 2 babies..with even stronger heartbeats...and arms and faces...AMAZING! Both healthy and developing on schedule! HOWEVER...here comes the big issue..it can't all be happy news with me and trying to get this 4th (and 5th) baby here lol! I had a small bleed...at 6 weeks it was fresh....checked it again at 8 weeks...it's STILL there...old blood this time...but still a concern. I'm trying to stay positive but it's difficult. I really hope that my body works how it should and dissolves this blood clot....or I pass it without it effecting the babies. What a roller coaster ride already and I'm only 8 weeks along :( I go back for a sono in 4 weeks...July 12th....so PRAY that the bleed is gone and our little ones can have a better shot of making it here to Earth to be part of our family. <3

Memorial Day Parade
Of course the kids were super excited to go to the parade with their cousins and buddies. It was smokin hot and we sat in the direct sun! We almost made it to the end but I needed some cool air and water...so we left little before the end!
