Weeks 4 and 5

Things are going pretty well. When we found out we were pregnant we decided to wait and tell our families till we were farther along. Waiting turned out to be much harder than I ever thought it would be. Luckily one day on my way home from work my sister, Alex, called to tell me that she was pregnant and had already told the entire family, so we changed our plan and told my family the same day. 

We got on a Skype call for what my family thought would be Alex telling me she was pregnant. Little did my family know that we had planned the whole thing and they were in store for something much, much different. So once we were on with everyone Alex announces to me that she is pregnant and show me her pregnancy test. Everyone cheered and clapped and then I held up my own pregnancy test let them know that we were too!

It was fun to see everyone's reactions, they ranged from tears to shock, to speechless. We let them know that we were due only 4 days apart, me on the 6th and Alex on the 10th. We harassed my Dad that his many prayers for a grand-baby had been answered double-fold. Two babies in one week! Later that week we let Sam's parents and siblings know we were pregnant and they were just as excited for us.  


Here is a comparative of our little baby's growth so far from when we found out!
