Two heads are better than one......

First of all, we have to apologize for not updating the blog sooner to let everyone know that Jess is pregnant. Jess was a little freaked out about letting everyone know until the ultrasound. While I can keep others' secrets, I cannot keep my own- AT ALL! I have been excited from day one. Jess has been also but has been very sick and has also been battling a lot of mixed emotions which is completely normal and understandable.

So, Jess is pregnant. She has been sick. She has puked almost every day to ever other day. It has eased up a little but but now she is extremely exhausted. On Monday of this week, we went in for the first ultrasound. They wanted to do one early to see if they could see the kidneys, bladder, and all that stuff. When the sonographer put the little deal on her belly, this was the first image we saw. Yes, that would be two heads you see there. I saw it but was trying to figure out exactly what in the you know what we were seeing. I knew but was wanting someone to confirm that I wasn't seeing two of what I thought I was seeing. Mind you, the lady had not moved the deal at all! I looked at Jess, she looked FREAKED OUT! She asked the sonographer, "Is that what I think it is?" The sonographer replied, "Yes it is, there are two babies!" Since there is no history of twins, on Jess' side especially, there was no reason to suspect twins. Everyone was completely shocked.

It was so cool because we were in the same room we were in when Elli's diagnosis was confirmed. That was the room in which we had our first major breakdown. This time, our doom was turned to joy, well maybe a little more SHOCK than joy at the moment. However, one thing that came to mind was, He sure showed us. What an amazing, loving, compassionate, considerate, restoring, forgiving, merciful, and absolutely wonderful God we serve. We didn't ask for Elli. We didn't ask for the lot that was handed. We loved her like we love Corban and Judah. We held her and with the help and love of everyone we know, consecrated her to the One who imagined her, formed her, carried her until we could hold her, and who so lovingly without physical pain took her to His side! This time last year we were in one of the darkest treks of our life and this year we are tasting the redemption that we were to weak to ask for, too scared to think about, but so desperately needed. We truly don't know what to ask for but He does know what we need. We in our efforts to prevent this, used two forms of birth control. To quote Jess, "He sure showed us, we doubled the control and He doubled the number of babies we are having."

Incase anyone is wondering. We were on the same birth control but Jess hadn't been on it very long when we got pregnant with Elli. So, we thought it was that. She was having trouble with the old one before Elli, so after her, she just went back on the same thing. It worked for a few months......... The other day, the sonographer told us that Yaz is one of the bc's that people always get pregnant while taking. My response, "Why in the hell don't they tell people this, that is why she takes the stuff!".

Well, that is about it for now. Twins. Never thought we would have a baby pass and I sure as heck thought there was less of a chance of us having TWO babies at the same time.

Sorry it has taken so long for everyone to find out but it has been weird the last couple of months and busy!

OH......lol.....we never knew what they tell you when you are having more than one while doing an ultrasound.......Baby A and Baby B. "A" is on the bottom and "B" is on the top.

I will post some more pics, I hate the format of these blogs and I can't figure it out to save my life!
