Twice the Joy, Twice the Love, Twice the Blessing from Above!

Friends and Family,

I hope you are all well! Hector and I wanted to wait until we had our first doctor's appointment (which was this morning) before we told the whole family and friends this EXCITING news:

We just found out that we are expecting TWINS!!!

I am just 8 weeks pregnant and my due date was going to be May 13th. However, since we are pregnant with TWINS, they will most likely come 2 to 6 weeks earlier. It is still too early to know any details like whether they will be identical or fraternal, BUT the ultrasound showed TWO adorable little sacs with healthy heartbeats, so most likely they will be fraternal. :) This, we are so very excited about!

I have been so fortunate thus far in my pregnancy, having no sickness, no pain, no negative symptoms... I am just hungry all the time and now I know why... There are TWO little ones feeding off me! Pray this good luck continues!

The doctor said I am in perfect health and the babies are very healthy, but when you are expecting twins, they automatically put you in the "high risk" category because there are chances of more complications for me during pregnancy and during birth. I know you will all think good thoughts that our pregnancy goes well, and I thank you for that!

We are so excited to share this news with you ALL in person, but realize that may be light years away. I thought the quickest way to spread this wonderful news, without having to wait so long, is by email! :) Hec and I can't wait to talk to ALL of you individually to share our excitement and get big hugs!

Never a dull moment, right?

We love all of you so much and are so excited to FINALLY make our own additions to this amazing, unique, so very special family! We are so lucky to have you all in our lives, so close and so involved. Hector and I truly feel blessed.

XOXOXOX

All our love!

The proud parents of TWINS, (OMG)
