Baby Blog: January 10, 2011

We have slowly been letting the news leak out, but we are now ready to make it blog official. We are pregnant...with twins. Identical twins. You can read our Hidden Baby #2 Blog's below to get the update, though that title is not exactly correct...it should be Hidden Baby #2 and #3 Blogs!!!

We are sharing this pregnancy a little earlier than we would like for a couple of reasons:
1) Whitney is getting married in February. We assumed we were having one baby and we thought we could make it to after her wedding to share the news (we would have been 14 weeks). But, twins is a little different. I will be showing by her wedding.
2) Benton is 7 months old!? Sweet baby boy.
3) This twin pregnancy is more high risk than a common singleton pregnancy. Therefore, we would covet your prayers for an uneventful pregnancy and healthy babies. This is our main reason for sharing our news so early.

Obviously, this is all crazy. We will have 3 babies under the age of 15 months at one point in time. However, we know this is God's plan for our family, and we wouldn't want it any other way. There are lots of things we have to figure out right now, and we are just keeping an ever growing list...it's helping to keep our panic attacks to a minimum. :) We will be sure to keep everyone updated as this pregnancy progresses.

One last thing... The question I have been asked the most is whether twins run in either of our families. These are identical twins, so there is absolutely no genetic component. A total fluke!
