Update on Twin Pregnancy and Pictures

It's been a while since either Austin or I have written on our blogs. This is partly because we've been afraid of jinxing ourselves by writing on the blogs about our pregnancy. It seemed like a roller coaster after each post during our first IVF cycle: everything would be going great the first post, and then, the next post would be about some set back. So, after we began our second IVF cycle, our superstitious selves were too scared something like that would happen again when blogging about our pregnancy...especially after our rocky beginnings with bleeding and almost miscarriage.

Being pregnant is a wonderful experience, but Austin and I have wanted to be careful in writing too much about it. We know there are several other couples who are struggling with infertility reading this blog. We remember the deep pain we experienced when we would have another set back in our fertility treatments and would find out about another couple becoming pregnant. With this being said, we haven't wanted to perpetuate that feeling of loss for others who are following our blogs and have not been successful as of yet with their fertility treatments.

We want to update, however, our readers who have been asking about how our pregnancy is going. Our pregnancy is going well. The twins are growing well and are 33 weeks along now. We will be meeting with the periontologist (high risk doctor) and our OB once a week for the duration of our pregnancy to make sure the pregnancy continues to progress without complications. Our son is in the breech position, so we are looking at having a C-section performed on September 14th. Please share any comments or questions you may have. We have been grateful to be supported by so many. We thank each of you for the part you played in our successful IVF experience.
