How can I put this: you go to your first prenatal appointment expecting to see a healthy baby in the ultrasound and instead of seeing one blob in the ultrasound, you see two...
WE'RE HAVING TWINS!!!!!
There is so much to write. For one thing, the Lord has been totally preparing me for the news. For the last month I've had a feeling that we were having twins. Of course I had all of these conversations with Bobby, who was trying to get the idea out of my mind because it was impossible.
So after seeing one healthy baby in the ultrasound and then hearing the doctor say, "Wait a second...", I knew. Bobby of course kept asking, "Are you sure? Are you sure?" Squeezing Bobby's hand, while he held crying Johanna and Caroline sat confused watching the events unfold-- I felt the most incredible joy.
We've felt much peace. We've been given so much peace. Despite the life changes this is causing, it is thrilling knowing that two little people are together, now, as I write.
Big changes have taken place in 48 hours. Like deciding to up and sell our place and look for a larger home right here where family is close and friends are warm. Yes, the plan to paint every wall on our home white, pack up some stuff and prepare for interested buyers will be happening during this unpleasant TWIN morning sickness that I despise.
But I have this overpowering nesting feeling where I will do anything to know that I will have space and a warm home for my babies.
So there is our story of how we will, in late spring, go from 2 children to 4. We should find out in a week if they're identical, and 2 months the sexes.
We appreciate your prayers in getting out of our current home and for the health of our wee ones. Life is amazing. Our souls are full...

No one is more perfect for the job of raising twins (plus Caroline and Johanna) than Nicole and Bobby! What exciting news for your family...and I loved seeing the pictures of Merzy's wedding and am incredibly jealous that you and Fany were there...all of you on the east coast...I'm missing you here in Provo.

So I've been wanting to comment for a while and just haven't had the time. Congratulations!!! I'm shocked as well that you're having twins! Isn't that such a tender mercy that the Lord has been preparing you for this news for the last month or so?! Pretty amazing huh? I'm sure all of the preparations will go well. :)
Those babies couldn't go to better parents!!
Whoa! That is so exciting and nerve racking at the same time! I am sure that things will be so fun and exciting for you! Congratulations!
You're so inspiring to me Nicole- I'm excited to see and learn from you as all this goes down!
And, I tagged you on my blog!
Congratulations!! That is so awesome! Just think, you'll be doubling the number of children you have from two to four in just one try. How cool is that! We're so excited for you guys :) We'll be praying for you and are sure that things will continue to go well for you.
Oh my goodness, Nicole! Congratulations! Heavenly Father truly knows the strong women in this world capable of having twins (with two little ones at home!) and you are definitely one of them! I am so excited for you and pray for a shower of blessings!
Love,
Kari
Congratulations you guys! We are very excited for you! When are you due? Maybe we'll be on the East coast by then. Good luck with selling your house!
I know you already told me, but congratulations again! I have one piece of advice...look into BOB double strollers (unless you already have a double stroller, then disregard this advice)...BOB strollers are the best.
