Sorry hubby, God doesn’t make mistakes and HE GAVE US TWO!!!🤰💃🙏👶🎉👶😝👏
We spent 3 years trying to conceive. We saw an amazing fertility doc who told us (and showed us!) I have secondary infertility. I had a scan done that showed I had a blocked fallopian tube and low-normal AMH. I have a lot of other things that I’ve shared that also contributed to my “secondary infertility.”
I wouldn’t take that as my final answer though. My heart KNEW I was meant to be a mommy to more children.🙏❤️
I was literally PRAYING for twins. I’d go to the gym and close my eyes and envision myself pregnant with two!💯🤰👶❤️👶
My hubby knew I was trying to manifest twins (while really just hoping for one healthy, viable pregnancy). He’d laugh and say, “we’re stopping at 3 kids!”😝
After 3 years trying to conceive with ZERO positive pregnancy tests, you can imagine how surprised I was when I found out I got pregnant naturally!!!🙏🙏🙏
When we found out there are TWO babies growing inside me my husband said “HOW?! You’ve been saying it and you willed it!!” I just said, “SORRY! God’s in control, not me!”🤷🏼♀️🤣🙏❤️ I’m so happy we caught this raw reaction on video (now it’s on our Youtube channel Hanging With The Hehners) bc I’ve probably watched it 100X.🥹🥹🥹
What I’ve come to learn through this pregnancy that God really does listen to our prayers.🙏 Our minds are powerful.💯 What we focus on and believe will become part of our lives in some capacity.💕
Instead of focusing on your troubles, fears, weaknesses, focus on your goals, hopes, & successes!🙏 it’s a lot easier said than done, but it truly works.❤️
Doug and I are celebrating TEN YEARS MARRIED this weekend! Being that we were married as complete strangers on Married At First Sight, I think this is such a huge accomplishment!👏
I’m so proud of us! I feel like we are ending one era and starting another! And I am so excited to see what the next decade has in store for us. It’s def gonna start off with a BANG that we couldn’t have even anticipated!!! TWO MORE BABIES TO LOVE ON!!!🙏🤰👶👶❤️
LET’S GO!!!! 💃🎉🕺
I was terrified going into this ultrasound with the high risk doc today. Last week we saw the “bump” on twin b’s spine and then I googled what it could be …which told me all sorts of issues the baby could have.😩😢
We went to get pizza after the appointment and I was crying. My daughter looked at me and said, “Mommy don’t worry about baby B.” She poured a circular round of Parmesan cheese on her plate with a smaller circle off the back. She flicked the smaller bump away and said, “in a week that bump will be gone!”
The next day I was crying again and she said, “mommy what did I tell you?!” She motioned the flicking again & said”The bump will be gone in a week!”
Today marks a week and we have our second ultrasound.
Over the last week I’ve held on to hope that God can work miracles. I’ve prayed non stop for both of these twins. …and I remember every single one of the stories shared with me saying you had an ultrasound that seemed ominous but then it turned out to be ok. I kept praying that would be our story today.🙏
I have to thank every single one of you – from the bottom of my heart – for all your words of encouragement, love & support. It means the whole world to me.🙏🙏🙏
I promised God I’d give him all the glory – regardless of the outcome (but I begged him for two healthy babies at our ultrasound today)!
As promised, we are documenting our full journey with the twins on our YouTube channel, Hanging With The Hehners! The full video is live on our YouTube channel now! Link in bio & stories!❤️
Thank you again for all your love & support and prayers!! #bestfrans 💕
TOMORROW IS OUR 👏TEN👏YEAR👏ANNIVERSARY!👏We have a 3 year old son, 6 year old daughter and TODAY IS THE LAST DAY WE’RE IN OUR 9th YEAR OF MARRIAGE BC TOMORROW MARKS A DECADE!💃🙌🎉
AND IM STILL IN SHOCK THAT WERE KICKIN’ OFF THIS NEXT DECADE OF MARRIAGE WITH TWO NEW BEAUTIFUL BABIES GROWING INSIDE ME!🙏❤️🤰👶👶❤️🙏
…people thought we were crazy for getting married at first sight (we were!🤪) They joked we’d be “divorced at second sight.” (We weren’t)! 🕺💃
We’re still working on ourselves & our marriage TOGETHER.🙏 I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has in store for us @doughehner!☺️
Thanks for staying by my side through the good tjmes and bad. You make us all laugh daily & you’re always there for us all!💕 Can’t wait to add two more babies to our fam bam!🤰👶👶 I looooove you.❤️
These kiddos are obsessed with “their” babies growing inside!🥰 The twins are the size of prunes right now and they’re getting little baby teeth buds & a teeny tiny bit of hair.👶🤰👶
I have no idea what Henley Grace was doing to my tummy?!🤷🏼♀️😆
Tonight at 8pm we are going LIVE on YouTube to answer your questions!!! I’ll pop the link in my bio & stories but you can also search Hanging with the Hehners to find us!🤗
My morning sickness is way better when I get at least 10 hours of sleep, stay active, take B6 and eat carbs …anyone else notice that helps them too? Odd dynamic but it seems to work for me!!🎉🥳
Pop any questions you have for us below and we will try our best to answer them LIVE tonight!🤗 see you soooon!😘
Jamie, You’ve shown us what it means to overcome, to make the best out of your circumstance, to care for others no matter what, and what it means to love your family. I’ve never met anyone with as much love in their heart, and our kids are so lucky to have you.
I can’t imagine going through what you did as a child, but you should be so proud of yourself for how good of a mom you are!
I can’t wait to bring baby number 3 and 4 into this world with you, and it makes my heart happy knowing how much love they will get from you!
#preggo #twin #pregnancyannouncement #dadlife #momlife #parenting #family #positive #positivevibes #smilemore #sohappy #stayathomedad #dadsofinstagram #love
I can’t imagine what it’s like to have 3 heartbeats inside of me, and 2 babies that get bigger everyday. Jamie does so much for this family, and for me, and continues to work harder than anyone I know.
You deserve all the rest you need Jamie. Please don’t ever apologize for asking me to do something or get something for you no matter how close it is! Anything you ask, no matter how random or miscellaneous it is…know that I do it with the happiest heart!
You made all this possible, your drive, your heart, your love….I vow to make this twin pregnancy as easy as possible for you, and I have your back!
BTW…this getting up randomly experiment was on the first try 😂😂😂😂😂
#marriedlife #couples #pregnancyannouncement #twins #preggo #dadlife #momlife #firsttrimester #twinning #pregnancylife #dadsofinstagram #smilemore #positivevibes
I can’t thank you enough for all the love, encouragement, and prayers over the last week.
Whew, I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster with these babies. So happy to hear and be able to share ALL IS WELL WITH BOTH OF THEM!🙏❤️
PS these are Live Photos and it wouldn’t let me keep the audio so nvm the random Gracie chatter and doc chatter!😅
#bestfrans
Which Easter egg belly do you like best?? 1, 2, or 3? 🐣 These twin babies have no idea how excited their family is for them to come.🙏🏻🥰And no one’s more excited than their big brother and sister!❤️
I can’t wait til we get to hold them in our arms!🤱🏼
Which belly egg do you think is the best? First one with Henley in my belly, second with Hendrix in my belly or third with the twins in my belly?!🥚🐣
#twinpregnancy #twin #pregnancylife #pregnantbelly #preggo #preggers
This hubby of mine😂 Always making me feel wanted even when I feel like a bloated zombie-mommy🤰😅 I’m 11 weeks so I only have 1.5 weeks til I’m in my SECOND TRIMESTER!👏🏻 I can’t wait to get that burst of energy 🙏🏻🤪🙏🏻
It’s so wild to think in less than 6 mo I’ll have two newborn babies! (Doc says they’ll come early) I feel like I have SO MUCH TO DO to prepare.💯❤️
We need to renovate our office into a nursery asap! If you know any great renovators in Florida send ‘em my way!😜 I need to get cribs & a stroller for 3 & bottles & wireless pumps & omg, it’s been awhile so I feel like I need to research alllll the things I need—and this time for twins!🥰
I def know we need to trade our vehicles in for ones that have at least FOUR seats (that can safely have car seats installed) in the back!👏🏻 🚗
I also need to find a mommy’s helper bc I work straight through postpartum. Many people think being a tv personality/influencer/podcaster/youtuber is “so easy” but it’s a job with no paid maternity leave & a lot of us work straight through our pregnancy and postpartum periods.
With both Henley and Hendrix I was working filming a tv show while pushing my babies out of my body!😅 I never hired a nanny bc I thought I could do it all myself. Honestly, I WANTED to do it all myself.🤦♀️
I had 10 jobs and very little help after Hendrix was born. I was nursing a baby all night, chasing a toddler, and then working all day. I had no family around to help & Doug was still working his sales job and was gone 10-12 hours every day. No wonder I fell into the worst postpartum depression.🤪😅
One thing I’ve learned since being a mommy is that I cannot do it all myself. And there’s ZERO shame in that.🙅🏼♀️ I will absolutely be looking to hire a mommy’s helper/nanny this time around and I’m so thankful that shame I used to have associated with needing help is gone now!💯
At this point I’m rambling😆 I just feel like I have so much to do bc in less than 6 months I’ll have TWO NEWBORN BABIES!👶🏼🙏🏻👶🏼 Ah, so exciting & scary & so much to do for these sweet blessings! And TBH, all I really wanna do is SLEEP😴😂

There are THREE HEARTS BEATING INSIDE ME!👶🤰👶 Pregnancy and what a woman’s body is capable of is absolutely *incredible* .. no one can convince me otherwise!❤️
BUT, I read a quote today and nothing has felt more true regarding pregnancy ….
“Pregnancy. It’s just like a constant hangover.” -Ellie Kemper
lol I’ve never felt more seen and understood than after reading that 😂😂😂
It will ALL be worth it though! I can’t wait to find out if we’re having boys or girls or a boy and a girl!!! 🎉❤️

My fav pregnancy (or bloating) hack!🤰😆 Have ya ever done the good ol’ hair tie trick to make your pants expand?😜Works like a charm!🤭If I just keep my hands down no one will know!😆👏
This is the first pregnancy I’ve lost weight in the first trimester.🤪 I’ve lost about 8 pounds & I’m pretty sure it’s all muscle. I just can’t stomach protein & I wanna sleep all the time.😴
I was going to the gym 3-5 times a week plus playing pickleball before I got pregnant. I worked so hard to gain muscle….now I’m lucky if I get outta bed and stay outta bed!🤪😆
I try to stay active though bc I know it’s important for delivery!💯 I still play pickleball a few times a week and it feels so good doing it, but the minute I get home I’m 100% wiped out!😴
Pregnancy with twins is a whole👏’nother👏level👏 … but I’m so darn thankful every day that I get to grow two babies inside me!🙏🤰
I was going to the gym PRAYING to get my body strong and healthy enough to get pregnant and carry another baby. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I’m really, truly pregnant.🤯 There are really TWO babies growing inside me!🙏😭❤️
I am still thanking God every single day! I’m going to have FOUR BABIES AT OUR DINNER TABLE EVERY NIGHT AND I CANT WAIT!❤️❤️❤️
#pregnant #pregnantbelly #twins #twinmom #firsttrimester #pregnancylife #rainbowbaby 🙏🤰❤️
We watched everyone around us get pregnant (and go on to give birth) while trying to conceive…and then one day, BOOM! God blessed us with TWINS when we were least expecting it!🙏🤰👯🎉
It can be so hard during the wait, no matter what it is you’re waiting for. But never lose faith.🙏 There is a plan for you and your life. Don’t allow bitterness or jealousy to sneak in while you wait because it will steal all your joy.
Let yourself have bad days, but don’t stay in that bad mentality.❤️
If you’re currently trying to conceive, my heart goes out to you. I know how hard it is to be trying when it seems like people who aren’t even trying get pregnant.🤪 Hang in there. There is truly a rainbow after every storm!🙏🌈💕

HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY @doughehner!🎉 We went from complete strangers to CELEBRATING a friggjn’ DECADE MARRIED TODAY!👰🎉🤵♂️
We didn’t even know each other’s names as I walked down the aisle to say “I do” but we legally committed our lives to each other right after introducing ourselves🤪 & we’ve been together ever since!🥰
From the way our wedding went, no one thought we’d make it – least of all me🫣 – but my hubby always knew we’d go all the way!👏😜❤️
This past decade has been a roller coaster for us.🎢
Just like any other married couple, we’ve had super high highs like having our two beautiful babies, renewing our vows, skydiving, traveling across the country in an RV and so much more!🎉
We’ve also had some terribly low lows like losing our first born son👼💙, finding out about a massive amount of debt which led us to moving in with my in laws, having two more pregnancy losses while trying to conceive😢, and then I had *terrible* postpartum depression after my last pregnancy.😬
We have spent the last year working on growing both as a couple and individually.🙏❤️ We bought our forever home, began planting our roots 🌱, & started going to church.🤗
We’ve been trying to conceive on and off for the last 3 years, but I never once got a positive test. Our doc diagnosed me w secondary infertility about 1.5 years ago. I was kinda dumbfounded since I never had issues getting pregnant before!
I wouldn’t take infertility as my future..I began doing everything I could think of to try to get pregnant! Eventually when I kinda gave it all up to God he blessed us with TWINS!🤯🎉🤰👶👶❤️👏
Life is truly such a journey. We get out of it what we put into it.💯
I want our next decade of marriage to be better than our last so instead of being beach bums vacationing on a fancy beach (like we’ve done for almost every anniversary) this year I switched it up for us and I signed us up for a self-help motivational seminar with Tony Robbins!🙏❤️👏
We kicked off our tenth year by being 100% present and focused with each other (and Tony😜🤪). We’ve been crying and laughing and hugging and GROWING.🙏
@doughehner I can’t wait to see what our next decade brings! I love you!😘
This still SHOCKS ME!🤯🙏❤️ My son & daughter came up to me before I ever found out I was pregnant & told me I had a baby in my belly! I did, but didn’t know at the time!🤰💕
Then when I told them I was truly pregnant my daughter said, “is it TWINS?!”😱 It is! I am pregnant with TWINS, but I didn’t know it at the time 🤰👶👶
When we had our first ultrasound with our doctor last week we got awful news. Baby B looked like he had a large lump/bump on his spine. I was a MESS!😢 But not my daughter! She was so calm and told me the lump would be gone in a week. IT WAS!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 THANK YOU, GOD! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
She’s said she thought/hoped these babies would be girls from the very beginning, but a PLOT TWIST happened last weekend! She had a dream they were boys!! 👀
When I asked her if she thinks they’re boys now she just said she still hopes they’re girls and thinks they’re girls!🤷🏼♀️
April 6th we will be having our gender reveal! I’m going to *try* to stream it live for my IG subscribers. I’m so thankful they pay their hard-earned $2.99 to support my fam & hang with me daily on IG so I wanna give them a lil something special!🥰 It’ll be on the beach so I have no idea if service will work, so I make no promises bc it’ll be out of my control … but I can promise we’re gonna try our absolute best! 💕
We shared a full YouTube video with far more details around this lump and my daughter’s confidence that it’d be gone. Did you get to see it yet? If not, Link is in my bio for ya still!❤️
I don’t know whether to think my daughter is prophetic or just lucky?! But what are the chances – no one is that lucky … or are they?!?
The way this twin pregnancy is unfolding (being diagnosed with infertility to spontaneously getting twins) is really renewing my faith in God.🙏❤️🤰👶👶
Have your kids ever predicted things that actually came to be?! Children are so innocent & I really believe they are connected to God in a way us adults aren’t.🙏🥰
WOKE UP SO DARN *THANKFUL* BOTH OF MY TWINS ARE HEALTHY!!❤️🙏👶🤰👶🙏❤️ Baby A’s heart beat was 168 and Baby B’s was 177. And we got to see them bouncing inside me🥹👏🥳💕
Gosh, I tried downplaying how worried I was, but I was a freakin’ wreck last week!🤪 I mean, how could I not be when the doc says something “might be” wrong with one of my babies?!😭
With pregnancy and ttc so many things are out of our control, but there are some things I knew I *could* do while waiting to see the high risk doc – limit my stress & keep getting optimal nutrients for my babies!💯👌
To keep my stress at bay I prayed as hard as I could! And I shamelessly asked everyone & anyone who’d listen to please pray for my babies too!🙏
***if you prayed or sent positive vibes, I want you to know I have also prayed and sent positive vibes right back to you!💯 All day yesterday & today I’ve been praying for those of you who thought of our babies and prayed for us! I hope that YOU feel the love & gratitude I am sending your way!***
My gag reflex is bonkers right now – the smallest thing will make me nauseous.🤢 This morning I was taking my thyroid meds and threw up🤪
As you can imagine, stinky, large prenatal pills and me are no longer friends.🙅♀️😅
I’m genuinely so thankful to partner with @needed bc they have the best prenatal powder that you put right into your fav smoothie! And I swear to goodness, I don’t taste one vitamin either.😋Yet, there are OPTIMAL NUTRIENTS in every serving!👌
While we were TTC Doug and I were both taking @needed’s sperm and egg support too!💯
The thing I love about Needed is that they do third party lab testing so you KNOW the nutrients you’re consuming are actually clinically validated!👏
If you’re TTC or pregnant, I genuinely recommend Needed. I popped their link in my bio so you can find easily and if you use code JAMIE you will get 20% off your first months subscription!👌 #ProudNeededPartner
There are so few things we can take charge of when ttc/pregnant, but we can control our stress and nutrition!
If you’re ttc or pregnant-It’s a friggin’ rollercoaster ride of emotions, right?!🤪 Hang in there! You’re doing great!💪❤️
Ten years ago today I was single and lonely.🙃 Well, technically I was engaged & about to marry to a stranger I never met & didn’t know his name.💍 The experts from Married At First Sight told me they found me a “perfect match” and I was frantically trying to prepare myself to meet what could be the man of my dreams… 👰💕🤵
Little did I know, that man who I first laid eyes on as he was standing at the end of our wedding aisle would become my best friend, children’s father and my whole world.🌎 🙏❤️
It hasn’t always been rainbows and sunshine (no relationship is) and we’ve been very, very honest about our good times and our hard times.👀
I’ve gotta tell ya – if you’re in a rough rut with your partner and not sure if you’ll make it through, therapy is so incredibly helpful!🙏
Now that we are on the other side of some of the issues we had, I’ve gotta be honest, I truly feel EVERY MOMENT THAT HAS LED US TO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW HAS BEEN WORTH IT!💯 Even the hard ones.
Going through tough times with the same person — and then making it out & into the good times again — makes you and your relationship *so much stronger* and your love grow deeper.❤️
@doughehner there’s no one else I’d rather do this life with! I’m so thankful to God, the universe and all my lucky stars that some producers way back in the day lied to us and told us the show was about “dating” and then last minute dropped the truth that it was about marriage & proceeded to convince us that marrying a stranger could actually work… bc look at the beautiful life we’ve built together!🙏🥰
I’ll forever thank the experts from our season bc they helped us so much- @dr_pepper_schwartz @drjoecilona @loganlevkoff and Greg Epstein.❤️
We originally planned on having a 10 year vow renewal this summer, but now that I’m pregnant with twins and they’re due in October we might have to postpone this vow renewal.😭 We’re just trying to make sure both these babies are safe and growing big and strong🙏 …Monday can’t come soon enough – I can’t wait to meet the high risk doc and hear him say “both babies are healthy & strong!”🙏🙏🙏
I always wonder if I play enough with my kids. I wonder if I talk (and listen!) to them enough and if I spend enough quality time with each of them individually. And now that I’m pregnant I can barely get outta bed let alone be the “fun” mom.🤪😅
I tend to get overstimulated & overwhelmed (esp now that I’m pregnant!) and I literally need to put myself on time out so I don’t snap at my family.🫣😩
I saw this quote and it made me feel better … our kids don’t need the “perfect” mom, they just need to know they are genuinely loved and adored.🙏🏻❤️
I’ve spent a lot of quality time with Gracie since she had spring break this week, so tomorrow I plan on taking my Rexy boo on a little date.💙
If you’re a mommy feeling like you’re less than perfect too, this one’s for you!🫶🏻 You are the best mommy for your kiddos!💯🙏🏻❤️
We went from trying to make a baby all the time to now pregnant with twins & doing “it” is the last thing on my mind.🤪😅 Doug thinks his little trick of letting me nap will help but I don’t know if 24 hours of extra sleep would get me in the mood with how I have been feeling🥱😴😅
This first trimester is hitting me harder than I expected, but I guess twins will do that to ya!😜💕
I feel so blessed to have these symptoms though bc that means my bod is growing healthy babies!🙏🏼🤰🏼 I am praying Monday when we go to the high risk doc he will confirm there are TWO HEALTHY babies in there!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
9 weeks pregnant and constantly feel bloated, nauseous and tired but I’m SO HAPPY!💯🙏❤️ How did I get so lucky to get TWINS?!🤰👶👶
Thank you so much for all your comments about our ultrasound yesterday…I heard from *so many* twin moms who said that they had an ultrasound where something was “wrong” with a twin but after some time it either disappeared or became fine … or they just needed minimal surgery at birth and their baby is now healthy and thriving.🙏 thanks so much for sharing your stories with me bc I have such a sense of peace today about the “bump” on baby B’s spine.
I always say social media can be a blessing and a curse. Of course I get trolls and haters who would love nothing more than to ruin my day, but there are 1000X more of you who are so kind, loving and supportive.🙏 and i always focus on YOU, the woman who is here to get love and support and give love and support!🫶🏻 I will forever be honest, raw and real with you bc so many times you’ve done the same exact for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤️
It isn’t lost on me how fortunate I am to have a community of women I can reach out to and count on for advice. Thank you so much for being here with me! I’ll continue to show up for you too!❤️🥰
Monday’s ultrasound with the high risk doc can’t come soon enough! I keep praying the doc looks at baby B and says “I’m not sure what they were talking about?!”🙏👏 and I continue to pray Baby A stays super healthy and strong!💪
Whew, twins are definitely double the fun and double the blessings!🎉🤩 But they’re also double the worry🤪 my mommy heart better toughen up bc I’m sure there will be unique challenges along the way & we are just at the very beginning of this journey.🤰👶👶
We were so excited to see both babies and hear both of their heartbeats yesterday❤️ …but then the doc showed us there’s an abnormality and it needs to be looked at closer by a high risk doctor.
The full video is up on our YouTube page now. The link is in my stories and bio or you can just search Hanging With The Hehners on YouTube.
I can’t thank you enough for all your thoughts and prayers! We won’t know anything more until Monday when we go to the high risk doctor & they do another scan.
We are trying to stay calm and positive. The good news is that there are two babies with strong, healthy heart beats and they seem to have their own amniotic sacs which makes for an easier pregnancy with twins so we are very thankful for that!
We are praying this abnormality will just disappear. Gods done some miraculous things and I believe he can do that too!💯❤️🙏
I was feeling so excited (& ngl, nervous too!!) on our way to the ultrasound. We wanted to hear both of the babies heart beats before we told the our older kiddos we are having twins🙏🤰👶👶🙏
The whole raw video will be live on our YouTube channel Hanging With The Hehner’s tonight at 8pm EST.💕 I’ll have a link on my stories and in my bio at 8PM EST so you can easily find it!❤️
The nerves with a pregnancy after loss are out of control. I try to keep myself calm and collected, but sometimes they get the best of me.
Ultimately, I know I have no control and God’s in charge. I just keep praying he blesses us with two healthy babies.🙏🙏🙏
I can’t thank @hellomybaby3d enough for being so patient with us during this ultrasound.💕💕💕
If you don’t mind praying for TWO healthy babies I’d appreciate it a whole lot!🙏❤️ Thank you so, so much in advance!💕
Today is our first doc visit and I’m hoping to get that video up before next Monday as long as everything goes smoothly there.🙏🤰👶👶🙏
Thanks again for all your love and support! It’s so nice being on this journey with you! My kids are blessed to have so many internet fraunties 💯🥰😘
I was diagnosed with infertility after my second baby – it didn’t make sense since I’ve already had children. I decided to do everything I could to try to help myself.💪🤰❤️
I quit drinking alcohol & my daily pot of coffee. I switched to green tea and began incorporating more fruits and veggies in my diet. I cut waaaay back on the processed junk I was eating and I tried to avoid too much dairy and too much gluten (never successfully gave up either 100% bc TBH, I still “cheat” all the time)🤪😝
I got a gym membership and began going as much as I could. At first I could barely do the jump rope bc I was so out of shape, but slowly I began doing 1 then 2 then a dozen pushups *on my toes* — so proud of that 😜💪
We would go to church and pray for God’s will to be done with our family …& then tried our best to truly BELIEVE it would be.🙏
I began meditating every👏single👏night👏
….I know this isn’t always the answer for those who struggle with fertility (and it still took us a loooong time to get that positive test) but I figured I’d share what I did that I think was somewhat helpful bc I know the fertility journey is so isolating and lonely — especially when it’s secondary infertility and if you even mention wanting more kids it’s assumed you don’t appreciate the ones you already have.🤦🏼♀️
If your heart is aching for a child and you’ve been told you can’t have one, I’m so sorry. It’s a pain that pierces your soul and not a lot of people understand.😔
I found going to the fertility doctor was so helpful to find out what I could about what was “wrong” w me and then I found it so helpful to try to change my lifestyle to see if it’d help.🤷🏼♀️
We are now pregnant WITH TWINS. I didn’t have any fertility meds or treatment … these babies came to us spontaneously!🙏🙏🙏
I wanted to share this in hopes it can give someone who’s been on the same trying to conceive struggle bus some HOPE.🙏
My heart goes out to those of you struggling with growing your family…I’m sending you so so so much love & lots of sticky baby dust.❤️
My hubby is just the sweetest!🥰 I’ll forever be thankful God and the universe conspired to bring us together. Our relationship started out in the oddest way being Married At First Sight, but I genuinely believe he’s my soulmate.💯🙏❤️
Being pregnant with twins has really kicked my butt so far!🤪 No matter what I eat I’m nauseous 24/7.
I’ve been living on preggie pops, tummy drops, applesauce, toast, cereal and milk. Odd combinations but it’s all I can eat without losing it.🤢
Not for a second will I ever complain during this pregnancy though.🙅♀️ I know some women have it so much worse (I’m so sorry!!!) and I am just *SO THANKFUL* for these babies & I’ll do and go through whatever it takes for us to get to bring them home safely!🙏👶🤰👶🙏
I can’t wait for our doc appointment Monday! I hope to find out if they’re fraternal or identical!💕
We have been planning a beach-side GENDER REVEAL too!👏🎉 … we just aren’t sure how we actually wanna do the reveal? I do know I wanna incorporate the kiddos though…any ideas? Suggestions?🤗
Doug just kept saying “WHAT??” as he stared at the double sacs.🫢🤣
I cannot wait to watch these babies grow!👶🤰👶
Henley and Hendrix are *so* excited too! Rexy is finally a big bro!! 🥹
It’s WILD to think that we spent YEARS trying to get pregnant. One day we were hoping for one little baby and the next we found out God blessed us with TWO!!!🙏😭❤️
If you’re on the struggle bus with something in life, your circumstances can change drastically in a day … continue to envision your dreams daily.💯 (For the last year I’d literally close my eyes at the gym and envision twins in my belly…& now I have them!!🤯).
Pray to God/the universe & believe He hears you.💕
Never give up on your hearts desires. No matter where you come from or what you’re going through – never doubt that you can reach your dreams.🙏❤️
I’m sending you so much LOVE!💗
