It's a brand new year and a year of firsts! |
Case in point: The Twins. After a long awaited arrival (I mean we all seriously thought we were gonna end up at the hospital Christmas Day!) the F twins
which, shall now be known on here as A (girl) and A+ (boy) have arrived. My beautiful sis-in-law C and her husband welcomed the pair January 26, 2011 at 12:35 am. It seems surreal that the little ones are now here. As much as we would have liked to, Nick and I decided against going to the hospital. We figured that C would be exhausted and needed her rest. She was there since the following morning after all. And since the weather and Nick's hours weren't really cooperating it seemed more logical to just wait till they got home. So, on Saturday we got to meet the pair for the first time! We got to hold them and Nick even got to feed A. It was quite an enjoyable evening. They are just soo small. All their clothes and hats were just too darn big! A+ started to fuss a bit and I sang him to sleep. Just like I did with Giggle-Belly eight years prior. We were also treated to a tour of the nursery my talented mother-in-law hand painted a jungle featuring a monkey,giraffe,owl in a tree and even had sparkly butterflies and bumble bees fluttering around the wall. I apologise for no pictures of this since we uhh.. I mean I forgot our camera. (I still can't believe I left the Flip at my parents.) The babies were teeny, tiny and sweet as can be. We are looking forward to being a part of their lives as they grow.
*Update on our TTC Journey: After a vacation nightmare at Disney World (No, I'm not gonna get into that now. Let's just say it was a very Un-Disney experience and will take some coaxing to really go back) I woke up to find that that my missing Aunt had arrived. This is the first time she's visited in over a year now. Must have been that I was distracted and couldn't count the calories not to mention having Hot Chocolate and other foods I haven't eaten in a long, long time. It seems silly to get excited about receiving AF but, considering that this is a sign from my body saying I'm healthier and we can now proceed with *Hope* I finally have a cycle again. I will start charting and might even pick up a BBT (Basal Body thermometer)
We'll be Wishing, Hoping and Praying that 2011 is our year!
