Our Miracle babies

Dec 2009
Paul and I have been married 11 years at this point, Christmas of 2009 as we sit in front of the tree Paul says to me.. "i feel like there is something missing"...
We have been trying to have children and it never happened. I had given up on the thought that it would EVER happen. I say to Paul.. "if you think we should trying seeing a specialist again we can" We tried fertility drugs about 7 years prior and nothing seemed to work. It was devastating, and exhausting. Everything had to be scheduled, it seemed more like a job to try and get pregnant.

Dec. 28Th 2009
For over a month i kept feeling that i needed to stop at the store and get a pregnancy test. I kept ignoring that nagging feeling, after all how many times id gone through this.. thinking Im pregnant, taking a test, having it come out negative.. I couldn't put myself through this again.
I finally decided to pick up a test.. in fact i bought 3!! I got home and the first 2 test failed.. my thought, "here we go again". Paul and I went to the gym, came home and i had a feeling i needed to try it one more time... It came out positive!!
Paul and I stayed up that night talking about, what if this was really it, what if i was really pregnant.. and what was i going to do...?
I had given notice and my last day at work was in two days. I was trying to start doing massage full time and really start building my business. We were planning our next trip to Mexico & just about out of debt!!

Dec 29th 2009
i called my Dr first thing the next morning, he got me in within hours. Paul went to work and i told him i would call when i found out for sure.. after all these years and no symptoms, there is no way i am pregnant.
Of course upon arriving at the Dr office, the staff started congratulating me on being pregnant (i had only told them my test at home was positive) i was really annoyed, because we didn't know for sure.
When the Dr came in to see me i said i still didn't believe it. He told me he was going to do an ultrasound. As he proceeded with the ultrasound, there it was.. our baby. Then to the Dr's surprise, he found another baby.. Yep.. i was having twins. He was able to tell me that they were identical boys and that i was 3 1/2 months along. I could not believe it. All i could do was lay there and bawl. TWIN BOYS?? how did this happen??
i got to my car and called Paul right away.. our conversation went something like this.. "Honey, i need you to go to the conference room, shut the door, sit down.. I have something to tell you.. We are having identical twins boys... sob sob sob.." Paul's response.."oh shit... uhh i don't feel so good.."
We called our parents right away.. and the phone never stopped until late that night. It was a miracle that we conceived two babies. Our prayers where finally answered. Yes God has a sense of humor, sending me two babies at a time, i guess making up for lost time?!
