a look back

Well, after trying for 3+ years, we found out on May 31st that we were pregnant.  And, two weeks later we were told it was twins!  Imagine our surprise after continually hearing "no" to finally hear the "yes".  After 4 cycles of Clomid, 4 cycles of IUI, this our 4th IVF cycle, many injections, pills and patches, hormones all over the place, and a lot of tears...the Lord willing, we will have two babies by February 4, 2012.  After putting our life on hold for so long, we are now in a scramble to prepare for not one, but two babies.  Many decisions are being made.  Quit my job?  Continue school?  Sell our house?  Where should we move?  Should Doug be the stay at home dad he has always dreamed of being?  Well, as usual I have been getting ahead of myself.  Doug, the practical one in our relationship, is continually reminding me that all we need to do right now, is get our house on the market.  So...hopefully we will meet his goal of August 1st.  For those of you eager for our first baby pics...here you go.

Well, much to my husband's dismay, I've decided to start a blog.  Not for the benefit of anyone else, but rather to document this busy and exciting season of our life.  Let's be honest, I already have problems with memory and remembering past events.  Factor in a whole new set of hormones, along with two babies sucking the life out of me, and I'm lucky that I wear matching scrubs everyday. Now, don't get excited and start checking for daily updates, between school and work, I really don't have a whole lot of down time.  My goal is to update at least once a month, maybe twice :)
