Twins, it's what's in...

Right after Rhiannon turned two, Jake and I planned and became pregnant. At ten weeks (New Year's Eve, to be exact) we discovered not one, but two miscarried fetuses, and I spent weeks hollow and tortured by the idea of my lost babies. Six weeks later, I became pregnant again, again with two fetuses, and only one survived- her name is Morgan.

Jake is at his new job, wowing them, and finding the credit he much deserves after a vast wasteland of ingrates and sore losers. I just signed on for a twitter account, after reading that one Barack Obama has one...figuring if it is good enough for him, it is, quite possibly, good enough for me. I am not sure I am cool
