Updates & Milestones

The Day We Learned There Were Two

We went into our first ultrasound appointment hoping to see one healthy baby and hear a strong heartbeat. Instead, we got the surprise of our lives and saw two healthy babies on the screen.

In the middle of the excitement, everyone on the third floor heard the reaction:

“PATRICK!! TWINS!?”

That appointment marked the beginning of one big adventure with our two little babies. A much bigger, wilder, and more wonderful adventure than we ever expected.

Keeping Us Guessing

During this appointment, the sonographer mentioned there might be a chance to find out the twins’ sexes. Naturally, the babies had other plans.

Wanting to stay mysterious a little longer, these little jokesters tucked their umbilical cords between their legs and rolled away from the camera whenever the sonographer tried to get a better look.

We did not leave with an answer that day, but we did get this amazing image and another funny little story for their journey.

First Look at Baby A

During our first Maternal Fetal Ultrasound appointment, we got our first 3D glimpse of Baby A’s face. Until then, so much of the journey had been measurements, movement, and brief views on the screen, so seeing those little features more clearly felt incredibly special. 

It was one of the first moments that made everything feel even more real, and a memory we will always hold close. 

First Look at Baby B

After several months of waiting, Baby B finally gave us a clear 3D look at that sweet little face. Each appointment had us hoping for a better glimpse, so this one felt especially exciting and worth the wait. 

Moments like this remind us how meaningful every little peek can be, and how grateful we are to watch both babies grow in their own time and in their own way. 

Gender Reveal Day!

Family and friends gathered to celebrate one of the biggest surprises of our pregnancy so far: the Carey Twins are a boy and a girl.

Since the twins were originally identified as MoDi, we expected them to be identical and the same sex. But because of an extremely rare medical phenomenon, their story took a very unexpected turn.

Finding out we would have one of each made the day even more exciting, and it gave everyone another reason to celebrate these two remarkable babies.

A Glimpse at Both

For the first time, both twins gave us a clear little glimpse of their faces in 3D during the same ultrasound appointment. 

After months of watching them grow through measurements, movements, and quick peeks on the screen, seeing both of their faces felt unforgettable. We are grateful for every opportunity to check in on them and see the little people they are becoming.
