The Beginning...

The pregnancy had begun as of September 2012 and our excitement and anticipation grew everyday.  Just a few short weeks in, a blood test hinted we may be in for a fast start to building our family.  An ultra-sound soon detected what we'd suspected....TWINS!

We snapped weekly pictures to capture Lindsay's progressively "rounding" stomach, but even as late as week 18, someone who didn't already know would be none the wiser to the pregnancy. 

As December rolled around, Danny's sister, Jamie, put on a wonderful "Gender Reveal Party" where no one in the family, not even Jamie, knew the results as we cut into the two separate cakes to reveal, blue, pink or one of each.  Wagers abound, Danny and most of the guys had lost their bets already after cutting into the first pink cake.  The picture below captures the instant cake number two was sliced.

Time flew by and these little girls were determined to come early.  They had packed on a couple pounds itching to come by March, sending Lindsay (& Danny) to the hospital for 28 days.

This began the journey that is still truly just beginning.  The girls are well loved already and this is hopefully a great way for those in their lives, some at a distance, to follow their paths and still be close....
