What a difference a year makes!
On August 3rd last year, Blaine and I discovered that I was pregnant. Little did we know what all was in store for us over the coming months – twins, pre-eclampsia, NICU – what a year!
I have always enjoyed writing, and it has always been a dream of mine to write a book. At one point when I was young – maybe around 4th grade or so – I actually aspired to be an author when I grew up. Almost thirty years later, I am finally trying to make that happen. I am currently working on writing our story. I thought it fitting to share with you the very rough draft of the start of Chapter 1, given that it is about how we found out I was pregnant and today is the one year anniversary.
Because we were so secretive for the first 15 weeks (well, and I didn’t even find out until I was about 5 or 6 weeks along), many of you may not even know the whole story about how we found out. I hope you enjoy our story…
