2012 was a great year for our family! Young Wife’s Guide was started in February. My husband and I started a new contributor blog, A Biblical Marriage, in October. I also started my own blog design business, Fount of Inspiration, over the summer. I got to attend a fabulous blogging conference in October and meet many wonderful women in real life!
Personally, my husband was promoted and we were able to move to the area our family lives. During this transition we decided that since I was quitting my full time job when we moved, then I would transition into life as a stay at home wife since we were trying to get pregnant anyway. As these things were finalized, we found out that we were pregnant with our first baby!!
14 weeks later, we found out we were having twins!! And later in the summer we found out it was twin boys.
Now we are so excited to announce that our twin boys were born on December 26th! Please welcome our little Malachi & Micah
Here I am in the hospital right after welcome our sweet babies into the world! I look a bit tired ;)
My sweet babies were born at 4:19 and 4:20 am. They were 36 weeks and 6 days and fully healthy! They were 5lbs8oz and 5lbs10oz
Here is my wonderful hubby bringing home our wonderful babies!
So I will be taking the next few weeks to bond with my sweet babies and will be back to blogging full time soon. In the meantime I would love to share my most popular posts from 2012. I look forward to a full year in 2013 and some fun new projects!
