"Hijole!"

Well- we've been mulling over whether to do this or not because we are very cautious people. We also seem to have average to below average luck so we don't like to test the fates. But we figured it's time to let the truth out. We are (I am really, not Chris) pregnant.

Of course, as many of our friends and family know, we are unable to have kids on our own and so we use modern medicine. When we try to conceive, it's very romantic. Just me, Chris and the nurse in a florescent lit santized hospital room. I get heart palpitations just thinking of it.

Anyhow...infertility worked with Lenore (eventually) and we had been trying for a year again when I was finally granted the insurance possibility to begin infertility treatment once more. I was sure that it would take several months, but we got lucky our first time. In fact it is my belief that God grew tired of us messing with his system, and hearing our (my) complaints and so instead of granting us one other child, He has "blessed" us with two. Yup- it's twins.

Of course, anyone in their right mind would feel more pity for us rather than happiness, but we understand that this is a blessing and are grateful. I am especially grateful to not ever have to go through shots, hormones and the worry of "will this time be the time?".

It's still pretty early, about 3 months, so anything can happen but so far everyone looks happy and healthy so we thought we'd take our chances. Plus I look about as big as I did at 5 months and I am too vain to have anyone thinking that I am getting this fat of my own will.

We hope all are well and happy in this early part of the New Year. The only thing, apparently, that you can ever really count on is unsuspecting change.
