We flew to visit "S" and her family over the weekend and attended the ultrasound on Monday. Every visit was very special to us with new experiences including getting tackled by two little kids on the ground. Not only did we get to spend some time together but also got to see how babies have grown.
On Saturday, they invited us to attend their friend's wedding at a farm. S's husband was there in charge of the BBQ for a few hundred guests. It was a big and lovely wedding. The reception in a barn was very unique unlike many weddings we have attended in the past. We send off the couple with sparklers and took the mugs with our names on them as souvenirs.
Congratulations to the newly wed couple!!On Sunday, we visited a state park with beautiful waterfalls, went to bowling and had dinner. It was a fun and relaxing day. "S" was such a trooper. She probably would have preferred to lay in bed with her morning sickness but she was with us all the time including hiking and bowling.
Monday was 12-week ultrasound. It was amazing to see how much they have grown and very exciting to see them moving. Baby A was wiggling the entire time and Baby B was the quieter one.
Hi five - Baby A
Kicking - Baby B
After ultrasound, we toured the hospital where the delivery is planned. Just to think that it is gonna be the place where we will be holding our babies makes the entire process even more real.
As we were on the plane flying back, we recalled the weekend vividly. Almost year ago, we were completely strangers going on our separate lives in places where we don't even know its existence. A year later, we are on a journey with so much being shared. Now, how cool is that? It is almost unbelievable. So dramatic and yet so real. We are so grateful for all "S" and her family for putting up so much with this pregnancy. It hasn't been easy on her.
Next ultrasound will be in five weeks......we may find out the genders. (Honestly, we can't wait to put names on the babies instead of Baby A & B).
