Happy New Year, Baby!!

Now that 2011 is here, Paul, Caroline, and I are ready to make a big announcement: 2011 will be an exciting year for our family in more than one way. What does this mean? Well, if you've already guessed that we're expecting another Hepper this year, you are correct.

What you may not have guessed, however, is that we are expecting TWO new Heppers this year. That's right folks, we are currently cooking not just one, but two "buns" in the oven - and boy have I had the nausea to prove it!

We just got back from our latest doctor visit and ultrasound and we're happy to report that the twins look good, are growing well, and do not show any signs of having a chromosomal defect (i.e. Down's Syndrome). Our ultrasound technician even complimented us on how photogenic the twins are :)

As you might imagine, this has been very surprising and overwhelming news for Paul and me, but we are thrilled and can't wait to meet the newest members of our family. The babies are due sometime between mid-June and early July (and hopefully not a minute sooner).

We won't learn the sex of the twins for another several weeks, but frankly, I've had all the surprise I can handle for a while, so I don't mind the wait!

Check out the new ticker I've added to the blog to show the twins progress. We'll also be changing the name of our blog soon to reflect our growing family. I need some good name ideas, so if you have any, please share!!!

Seeing double??? So are we!:
