We have been reading quite a bit of blogs about Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome to get more information from people that have been through what we have been through. We are using this blog to get our story out there so maybe we can provide another account of a couples trials and tribulations as we are going through our own pregnancy.
Sam and I have been married a little more than a year. She is 29 years and I am 33. We each brought one great child into the relationship (both girls). Our oldest (Sam's child) is 10 years old and very mature for her age. My child is 7 years old and really is a typical kid. They both have been through too much for their young ages, but they really do love the family as we are. Nothing is cooler than gaining a sister about your own age.
This is our second attempt at getting pregnant as the first one lasted less than 12 weeks. We got pretty much the standard run around for three weeks as we waited to find out what was going on. We had our first ultrasound in the OBGYN's office and a second one at an off-site Ultrasound facility a week later. It took a third week to let us know that the pregnancy was ended as a result of a missed miscarriage. This was very difficult for my wife and I as we both really wanted to get have a child together and even nine months seemed too long to wait.
We were lucky to have a second opportunity at our first child together and wouldn't you know it, we were blessed with twins. Here is our story........
