Tre` is actually a surviving twin. His twin was lost in utero during the first trimester. The cause was unknown but too common for a lot of women. I never got to hold his twin, see his twin, morn his twin, nor name his twin. I just have memories of the excitement. With all the hard work we did to get pregnant, I did times two.

There’s a nice brief introduction. I’m new to blogging so I’ll do my best.
