Aaron and I went to Dr. Dunn yesterday afternoon and got to see our babies. Yes! I said babies... We are overjoyed to announce that we are expecting TWINS! If you look at the picture you can see baby A on the right and baby B on the left. We also got to see and hear the heart beats. So AMAZING! I still remember hearing baby Graham's heart beat several months ago and thought it was so wonderful. Now that we heard our 2 sweet babies heart beats, I cannot describe the feelings I had. Of course, I lost it on the table and started crying like crazy, but they were tears of happiness. We are still a little in shock, but something told me all along that I would see 2. I truly believe that this is such a miracle and dream come true. I can't believe that this is all happening, but I can not wait for those restless nights when we will have our babies in our arms.
Dr. Dunn said everything is looking wonderful and even gave us some interesting percentages. He said that the chance right now of not carrying both to full term is less than 10%, and in 2 weeks when I go back, the percentage goes down to less than 3%! : ) I am considered high risk because of us doing the IVF process, and now even more so because there is 2. He didn't seem too concerned though because he said I am young and healthy and everything else has gone so smooth. I tell you what, my girlfriend called Dr. Dunn "the baby whisperer", and I agree. What an amazing doctor, and he has been wonderful since the first day we stepped foot in his office. If you need his number or want his number, let me know! Ha!
Finally the other big news he gave us. He told us if there was 1 little baby in there, our due date would be April 8. BUT since there are 2 babies, he said expect them to arrive beginning of March! Because there are 2, they will most likely come earlier, but if I make it to March, he said anytime after March 1 is great for 2! The exciting part of that is that one my best friends since 4th grade, Amy, is due March 4th! I called her yesterday and we are hoping our babies are born close together. They will be the best of friends...
Thank you for all of your love, support, and prayers. We are blessed to have such amazing people in our lives and overjoyed that everything has gone so well. I hope you're all ready to sign up for the first few months to help! HA totally kidding... well sort of...
I have to add one last thing. We have always gotten asked if we are naming our child Aaron or Erin also. Of course the answer is NO, but my girlfriend Amber asked me yesterday... "How are you going to find 2 more ways to spell Erin/Aaron?" Ha ha! I thought it was cute and funny. : )
Lots of Love to all,
Aaron and Erin + 2!
