I never thought I would stop writing here when I ended up getting pregnant. I thought I would use my blog as the place where I could get things off of my chest and document my beautiful journey. Little did I know that life would get busy, and getting up off the couch to grab the laptop would feel like too much work. I didn’t expect to be this tired, or sore, or busy.
I am almost 30 weeks along with our twins. We found out 2 days after our wedding that we were having 2 GIRLS! In that moment, this whole thing became real – this growing bump felt more precious and it was as if we knew our babies so much better.
I always dreamed of having a daughter. I never imagined that life could bless me with two, let alone two at the same time. But in 8 weeks our girls will be here, I will finally get to look at their faces and and hold their little hands. I will be able to kiss them good night and tell them that every hard moment along this journey was well worth it because it gave us them. I can’t wait to know them and watch them grow up.
I will try to find more time for this blog as time continues. I will try to document their first years. But for now, I will save every ounce of energy that I have.
This has been a wild roller coaster, so many ups and so many downs. Getting pregnant with these girls has been the biggest “up” of my life, and even when they kick me so hard in the ribs that I feel like I am going to fall over…. this roller coaster keeps travelling upwards.
Up, up and away.
Shannon.
