New year's eve

It is new year's eve in Asia and we can't help to look back what this year had brought us. It has been quite a ride with all the ups and downs. Nothing has come close to the experience of parenthood. We feel so blessed in this journey. Although we know it won't be easy raising two little ones, we can't wait to take on the challenge and grow with them.

S text sums up our journey well so we just borrow what she said to conclude the year of 2014.

"I think we all got really lucky in this adventure... :-) and the girls are gonna get the best end of the deal!!"

Happy New Year to everyone and to our little baby girls. Daddy and papa love you to the moon and back.

24 weeks!

Here comes 24 weeks! Each new week is additional assurance that our dream of being daddy and papa will eventually come true. At the moment, we are traveling in Asia for the holidays and this post comes from Siem Reap, Cambodia. The fun part of expecting babies is to prepare for their arrival. Our traveling activitity has been consumed by shopping for our girls. We love to get them stuff from all over the world if possible. For the first time in our lives, we bought two dresses. :-)

S told us that our daughters like cheesecake with raspberry topping. She had one piece and they were allready bouncing off the wall of her belly. Just like daddy, like daughters.

 

Happy holidays!!

Since "S" passed this photo to us, it just stuck on our mind. It is such an emotional and powerful image. Link to an article

Below is a video of their beautiful family.

This is a moment for many parents, especially for those going through surrogacy. Pregnancy is a lot of things. It is the gift of life. It is a miracle. It is exciting…to create a life. To carry that life for nine months. To nurture it. To feel it grow. It is incredible.

It is also horrifying. It is dramatic. It is bizarre. Things happen…strange things. Not nice things. Things you don’t expect. Things no one warns you about with 9 months of constant worry and it is only the beginning.

Happy holidays and we wish all of you a New Year filled with peace, happiness, health and prosperity. We know ours will be with two little miracles on the way. 

23 weeks

It's 23 weeks today. We are visiting S and the twins this weekend for pre-birth order hearing and ultrasound. The judge enthusiastically granted our petition and signed the order yesterday. We are now the legal parents of our twins and very excited to reach another milestone. In the afternoon, we got to see the babies. Each now weighs about 1 pound and couldn't look more beautiful.

Spending time with S and her family is always wonderful. We are so grateful for what they have done for us. 2014 is almost ending. It is a year filled with memories that we will never forget and there are so much to look forward to in 2015.

Sex of our twins :-)

Here we go. We couldn't be more excited and thanks for your patience!!
