Well, not technically, but we already consider them our babies! Technically they are still cells, and we are waiting to find out if they "stick", or implant in my uterus, resulting in a pregnancy! But we couldn't wait to share our first baby pictures, which Cody has so endearingly nicknamed Cletus and Brutus.

Many of you know that Cody and I have been trying for over 2 years to get pregnant, and it just hasn't happened yet, for a reason that is known only by God. Long story short, we tried everything: patience, doctor's visits, various fertility medications, IUI (intrauterine insemination), and just recently IVF (in vitro fertilization)! It has not been an easy journey, but one in which we have learned so much, and one that has brought us closer to God and each other.
So, right now we are waiting...waiting to see if our babies kept growing, waiting to see if they "stuck", waiting to see if we will become parents to these sweet babies that we already love so much. Please keep us in your prayers as we go through this period of waiting.
