TTC after 35

***BFP Warning**** Now that we've had time to digest...here's an update.

Happy Friday to everyone!

So I updated everyone with our BFP a couple of weeks ago. Last Friday, at our first ultrasound, we found out we had not one, but TWO sticky beans!!! We have been in shock and disbelief. Just checked on them again this morning and we saw Baby B's heartbeat. Baby A was being stubborn. Both growing at the same rate and are about the same size. It's so early, but we are celebrating our week to week progress and happy that as of right now we are pregnant with twins. It's all we can do. I was so apprehensive about even saying anything. I've almost felt guilty the last two weeks.

 I truly wish everyone the best of luck on their journeys!
