Exactly seven months ago, Nathan and I met with my doctor to discuss the severe all day long sickness associated with my pregnancy. An ultrasound had been performed two weeks earlier, and it showed one tiny, growing baby and one heartbeat. We thought the appointment would be nothing special; obviously, we were wrong.
For some reason, Dr. Ludlow asked if we wanted another ultrasound before we left. Like any other pregnant lady would do, I immediately accepted the offer. I'll never forget the moment the doctor said, "No wonder you're so sick. You're having twins!" An indescribable feeling of pure elation overwhelmed me. Nathan and I laughed and cried tears of happiness. It was one of the greatest moments of my life, and the joy I felt then helped sustain me through several months of sickness.
I remember calling our friends and family with the exciting news and then sitting for a few hours in total disbelief. Nathan went to class shortly after we returned home and sent me a text, saying: "Remember how we're having twins!? Holy amazing awesomeness!" Apparently, he was feeling the same way.
Even now, seven months later and 5 weeks after Ezra and Elliott were born, I find myself staring at my perfect little boys in complete awe. Twins? Really? How did we get so lucky?

Haha. So I must be getting to a point where I know which one is which because I was looking at a picture of Ezra and thought it was titled Elliot and thought, "That's not Elliot, that's Ezra." After further inspection of where the names are placed, I realized I was right. Haha. I love these boys and am so glad they are in our Robbins family. I can't wait for them to play with little Anna and Evy. Life will become very interesting!
