Reflection- This is Three

I am in one of those complete nostalgic moods. THREE YEARS how can this be? Well with this refection it came with huge amount of gratitude and inspiration. So, I must share!

Three years and a few days ago I was in the worse pain and was so ready to meet these babies. I had issues towards the end of my pregnancy and ended up in and out of the hospital. I remember so clearly my desire (and the doctors) to hold them full term, but my body felt other wise. I kept repeating that through this pain was going to come something so beautiful. AND IT DID!

On July 29, 2016 we welcome Marlowe and Acher! I want to remind you, no matter what season you are in, the best is ALWAYS yet come! Stay course and get ready.

PS- Highlights from our celebration are below! XO -Whit

Adding Two More to The Team!

WE ARE ADDING TO THE TEAM - and this time it's internally. Being a Talk Show Host it's hard for me to keep my mouth shut. We have kept this news on lock down since mid December and I must say this has been a difficult task. Now that we are out of the first trimester we had to share the news - WE ARE PREGNANT.... WITH TWINS!

TWINS - Yes, we were just as shocked. Growing up I was surrounded by twins on both of my parent's sides (3 sets to be exact). We found out we were pregnant pretty early on and according to several blogs this could have been because the hormone level with twins is stronger. Going into our first ultrasound we were just hoping for a strong heartbeat and then we were told, "there's two!" 

DUE DATE - My Twinspirations (follow us on Instagram) are due in early August and WE CAN'T WAIT! Coming up on April 30th we will be taping a live studio audience show on "Parenting." Tickets will be given out for the audience at our April 2nd Gala. We hope to see you at both!

PARENTING 101 - Please give us your parenting tips because trust us, we need your help! TWEET @WhitneyReynolds. Thanks in advance for all your love and support. The best truly is yet to come! Don't forget to hashtag #VolvoFamily.
