In the beginning of March Cole and I found out that our family of four (us & 2 puppers) was going to be growing! We were expecting! A month later we found out not only would be adding one new addition but TWO…TWINS! Our family of four would now be a family of six! Anyone who knows us could have guessed our reactions: I cried, he laughed. Of course I immediately felt totally overwhelmed, but the smile on Cole’s face was amazingly calming and hopeful to me. I don’t think we said much the rest of the night. Each time our eyes caught the other’s we just let out a little giggle.
The first few months of pregnancy were great (I say that now). I never threw up but felt sick ALL day and was extremely tired! I actually lost weight my first trimester just because nothing sounded good. I think I lived off cereal, baked potatoes, and lemon drops. It was hard getting use to not being able to do everything I was use to. Cole and I had gotten where our “un-wine time” each night was spent in the hot tub talking about our day and most weekends were spent relaxing in the river. Both things I was no longer allowed to do. Not only was I getting use to not being able to do everything I wanted, but so was Cole. It was hard for him to understand why I couldn’t go for a motorcycle ride or compete in bumper cars with him. I think it all became more meaningful the first time we heard the heartbeats. Of course I cried…I think more because of the excitement on Cole’s face than anything. By the end of the visit he wasn’t even in his chair, he was up at the screen pointing out different things in the sonogram. I knew at that moment he was going to be a great daddy who would amaze me often.
