Our 1st Ultrasound: 7 1/2 weeks

HELLO BABY!

April 29, 2010 was an important day to me for many reasons.  It was the first day Drew and I were able to see our baby and that incredible image of his or her beating heart.  It also happened to be my Daddy's birthday who passed away in 2000.  I remember saying a little prayer and asking him to "pick us out a good one." I have all faith that he will because if you've ever met my beautiful nephew Vincent or ever were blessed with the opportunity to meet my sweet Daddy then you will know that somebody very special is watching over my sister Rachel and I.

Another thing I will always remember about the first time we saw our baby was Drew asking the doctor, "Are you sure there's just one in there?" I will say that we were slightly relieved when she said "Yes."  I know and have known many mothers of twins, including my amazing mother-in-law Shannon, my friends, Cara, Christina, Margo and mommy-to-be Julie, and of course my Nana and their are no greater goddesses on earth. And who knows what the future holds for me as a mother but I have to say, that being married to a twin classifies me as "a goddess" in my own right. ;) (Drew, you are the love of my life and I can't wait to share the most important gift life has to offer with you.  Chris, you are going to be an amazing uncle and even though you and Drew may be double trouble, more importantly, you are double the love.  This is going to be one lucky little baby. :)
