The Beginning Shock

My wife and I Jenene have a beautiful son Tyler who has been the light of our world and with whom we've had a great time so far. He is 18 months old and is so much fun. We were able to have him through going to a specialist that fertilized Jenene since we were having trouble on our own. About 6 months ago, Jenene and I decided to try again and that it was time for #2. We spent a few months trying but then decided to go back to the specialist since it worked so well last time. We went back and were given a good chance to be successful again.We went through what we needed to and Jenene could not wait the whole time and took a pregnancy test on her own. So when we got the call that she was pregnant, it wasn't a surprise. What followed was. They give you your hormone levels when they call with the news and Jenene commented that the numbers seemed high. I thought it was in the same ballpark as the last time but told her to call her nurse and ask about it. The nurse left a message in return and you could only imagine my shock when she said "The number is high, but that just means there is probably more than one in there". Sure enough, Jenene went for her ultrasound and there are two. This puts a whole new spin on things and now we vault right over the two child family to a three child family! Mind you, we currently live in a two bedroom home and Jenene still works. So we need to buy a bigger house and have Jenene stop working in the next 9 months. We tried to sell our house and had it on the market for 1 year with no offers a year back! Our parents just keep telling us everything will work out and that we just need to keep praying. It gets awfully frustrating because things don't "just work out"Anyway, I am starting this blog because I have an ongoing one for Tyler that Jenene has really enjoyed and I think Tyler will really enjoy reading when he gets older. I think this one should be very interesting too to look back on once these two little persons come along. So if you are reading this, come along for the ride!
