The Twin Belly 25 weeks

The best thing I was told to do.....Pregnancy Photos.  I thought long and hard if I even wanted to capture this moment of feeling larger than life.  At 25 weeks I decided to do it.  What if this is my only opportunity to be pregnant?  Everyone told me they wish they took more pictures of themselves and their growing bellies, well I took their advice and this was the outcome.

How our family began....

Our story begins....

These are the beginnings of our two kids...yep we got a picture of our embryos right at conception.  Thank god for science, prayers and Seattle Reproductive that allowed us these two little blessings.  We started the IVF process at Christmas time 2011.  Robbie became the shot doctor which was a great way for him to be involved as well.  On January 10, 2012, also my nieces birthday, we had our transfer and these two little embryos were the "survival of the fittest."  We decided to implant TWO, yikes, but we were excited for the option of twins.  Robbie had always joked about having multiples even before our 2 year struggle, well his wishes were coming true.  We ended up getting some very GREAT news at our first ultrasound visit....

And so the preparation began!
