After 41 [name_m]LONG[/name_m] months, my gorgeous baby boys finally arrived last night. [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] came first at 7:32, and was followed shortly by [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], who arrived at 7:35. I feel so blessed to finally have my babies!
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] is the name of my DH’s late father, so it seemed perfect. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] A’s middle name is also DH’s name, so he is definitely named after his side of the family.
Coming up with [name_u]Jude[/name_u]'s name wasn’t as easy as it was with [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] comes from both my father and brother. His first name, however, took a very long time to come up with. We both knew we wanted a name that started with a J to honor our mothers, who are both named [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]. For a while, DH was adamant that he wanted to name [name_u]Baby[/name_u] B “[name_m]Jack[/name_m].”
However, a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across the name [name_u]Jude[/name_u] on this site and fell in love. DH was unsure of it at first, but after we saw him, we just know he is our perfect little [name_u]Jude[/name_u]!
Congratulations!! I love the meaning behind your names. Were you trying to conceive within the 41 months before your twins or was that a typo for weeks? If TTC, that is quite the journey!!! Either way, congrats again (times 2!)
I meant to say 41 weeks. However, we had a long journey with TTC (about 8 months of trying). We actually miscarried three times before conceiving these little boys and are so incredibly thankful for our babies.
I’m so sorry to hear of your miscarriages! What a blessing to have these littles here with you now & the worrying can be over 8 months isn’t that long of a journey (unless you’re in the middle of it !) trying to conceive, especially in comparison to 41 months, so at least there is that!!
Congrats again
