One year ago today, I had the first ultrasound of my twin pregnancy. I had suspected I was pregnant over Christmas, but didn’t test until I got home. And I wasn’t letting myself get too excited, having gone through a chemical pregnancy and miscarriage earlier in the year. The ultrasound, right before New Year’s, was inconclusive at best. (In retrospect, it was pretty funny. But it was really annoying at the time. Feel free to read the story.) It would be almost two more weeks until I learned my true fate.
2007 was quite a year. Got pregnant, found out it was two, stayed pregnant. Got huge. Avoided most complications, survived pregnancy in the summer. Scheduled a c-section, went into labor anyways. Babies stayed in the hospital, but not too long. Babies came home, I stayed with them. I’m a mom now. A mom of almost-five-month-old twins. The only pictures I took last December were of my dog (and there are only a couple of those). Now, my computer groans every time I open iPhoto for all of the baby pictures. My, what a difference a year makes.

I love looking back at “this time last year”. My how things that changed!
Funny about iPhoto! I was just thinking the same thing…my little rainbow wheel comes on every time I load new photos as to say, “ENOUGH…I’m too full!”.
A very cute photo of Daniel on the plane. Did you trade carseat time between the two? I think on our next trip, we’ll purchase an additional seat. The extra $$/mileage is well worth it…especially since flights are never short when you live up here. Blah!
Happy New Year!!
