BIG NEWS!

Well it's been way to long since I've done a post, but I've been busy! We're having twins! We are so excited our family is growing! We couldn't have done it without our surrogate Jessica! We are so blessed! We had our egg retrieval and transfer in early March, we then had 13 days before we got any news. There were many prayers! Towards the end Jess actually shared with us that she felt pregnant! As a mother of 2, we felt so excited! On Monday, March 26th we got a positive pregnancy test! Our beta number was 1521! Which is great, high which gave us hopes for twins! On Wednesday, March 28 our beta number doubled! Yeah! April 10, 6wks6days was ultrasound #1, we found out that we had two sacs, and 1 heartbeat! Our doc said it was still early, we were thrilled and we knew what we had to do! Prayer!

Gavin and I had plans to fly out to California for our 2nd ultrasound! So much to be thankful for! On Saturday April 28, we had 2 amazing heartbeats! The babies our so precious and little just an inch at 9 1/2 weeks. I wanted to jump up and down with joy! What a feeling!

We were so lucky to share the weekend with Jess and her family! Following the appointment we had a lovely lunch and we spent the afternoon at Santa Monica beach and Pier! We planned a day at the LA Zoo for Sunday!

A fun filled amazing weekend!

We are so looking forward to parenthood and a lifetime friend!

Lots of smiles!
