Some big news…for Molly and me, at least.
(Honestly, I feel kinda guilty blogging this—It’s like bragging about winning the lottery…)
We found out yesterday we’re having twins.
Girls!

May I be the first to offer a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS!
I am sure many comments will follow having to do with the “Twin Cities” and a certain Minnesota baseball franchise, so I will leave that alone.
We have month-old Twins and live in the Twin Cities too and surprisingly didn’t get many comments about the baseball franchise. We do, however, occasionally confuse people when we talk about “the twins.”
Based on my whole 5 weeks on the job, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Congrats Pipers!
I’m very glad to see this. We’ll pray for health and safety.
OH my GOSH!
that’s magical!
Praise God for the gift.
so exciting and adventure-filled!
ditto @Jamsco.
I pray for protection of these tender shoots !
I already commented a bit on Molly’s blog, but I’d also like to offer some congratulations over here – this is exciting news!

As a father of four month old boy-girl twins, it is an amazing ride. I’d encourage you to check out a local ‘mom of multiples’ group. They are really great for resources and advice.
I am OVERJOYED for the both of you! Now I’ll have to pray TWICE as hard! GLORIOUS news!!!!
I loved Molly’s post (well, it says you ghost wrote it for her). I’m glad I didn’t find out this way because it would have killed the surprise. hehe. It was a very, very, good post.
Anyway, we’re joyful to God for the miracle He’s worked in you.

That is so awesome!! We’ll be praying for you!
Can you tell from an ultrasound about being identical or not? Something about one or two amniotic sacs? I don’t remember.
Oh, don’t bother answering here. Just wondering out loud. :-)

Also…I’m not one to jump the gun on baby-naming, but I’ve got your twin girls’ names good to go…”Polly” and “Babe-ra-ham”.
You’re welcome.
What wonderful news! Two girls! Praise God!
I could just cry. What a beautiful gift for your family after all you’ve been through. A heartfelt congratulations to you.

I’m leaving you both a comment, because it just seemed fitting to leave TWO.
My heart is overflowing with praise and thankfulness for your family right now. I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I honestly think I have no words.
Congratulations!

Outstanding! Cheers, confetti, marching bands, fireworks, dancing in the street. This is wonderful news! God bless you all!
God is good. We have “twins” through adoption. Double 3 years are crazy fun.
YES!!!
Such wonderful blessed news!
Congratulations to all of you!
Ok, so Abraham… not many people….ok probably nobody I know would equate having twin girls to winning the lottery!!! YOU ROCK!!!! Praising the Lord and rejoicing with you.
Congratulations, Abraham and Molly!
You guys should definitely get a pair of these shirts.
“Twin A” and “Twin B” – I love those names!
Congrats! Out of curiosity, is it possible to tell if they’re identical or fraternal?
CONGRATS! AWESOME BLESSING! So very happy for all of you. Praise be to GOD!
Amazing! Praying for you all and safe delivery of the babies.
So happy for you guys!
Wow. God is, indeed…so.very.GOOD!
