How Amazing

I finally felt one of my babies kick. How strange to feel something that you and your wife created move for the first time. I am so amazed and excited. My wife is getting so big so soon. It is so fantastic to see her grow and know that she is carrying two babies. It is still so shocking to me that we are about to expand our family from 3 to 5 in the next few months.

My wife has been feeling the babies move for a few weeks now but until tonight I have not been able to feel anything. I am so happy that I actually felt one of my babies.

We have talked to other parents of twins. Many have told us that they were so busy and things changed so fast that the experience is just a blur when they think back. I write this blog both for ourselves and for our twins. We want to be able to relive the moments after the twins have grown up and left home. If the twins are interested when they grow up, they may choose to read this journal before having children of their own.
As a side product, this journal can also serve other parents who want to share our experience. This journal is about our experience in raising twins.
