I woke up this morning at around 8:45 AM. I really felt the need to sleep in til noon due to a sore back from the previous night at work but I had more pressing matters to attend to. Sleep will have to wait til after I write this blog. I got up and showered, quickly. No time for cereal today. An apple will have to do for my breakfast this morning. I got into my car, noticing just how badly I need to clean it. Tomorrow though. I have things to do today.
I arrived at Meg's work, a little earlier than planned. She clocked out and entered my car. We had a few minutes to kill so we drove around to see her old house and much to her dismay, the new owner has left his Christmas lights up. Unacceptable. Someone should contact his HOA to go tell him what's what. Not now though. We'll leave that to the right people. Our drive offered a bit of solace from our crazy lives. Meg has been working fairly long hours and I have been working late nights with too much physical activity demanded of me. When we're not working, we're helping my sisters out in their day-to-days. But today required us to take a drive. We needed to gain certain information that could make or break our afternoon.
I drove us to our location and we searched long for a proper place to park. Aha! Right in front of.....the.......wrong doors. Oh well. We can walk. We entered the massive building and rode the elevator to the third floor. Megan found the correct office and pointed us in the right direction. We entered the office and found the right people to deal with. Megan did all the talking. We were told to take a seat for a few moments. Then our names were called. We're getting closer now. They are ready for us.
We entered a room where a young woman asked Meg a few questions about her personal life. Too personal. But, necessary I suppose. After the interrogation, a man entered and told us to follow him to another room. I was getting uneasy. We followed and he shut the door behind us. He then told Meg to...
THE FOLLOWING TRANSCRIPT HAS BEEN REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF THE EDITOR.
His pause was unbearable. This could be a bad sign. His eyes were focussing hard of the black and white screen. Still no response. "What could this mean??!!!" I thought, "Just say something!!!!!"
After a long pause he turned to us and said, "Well it looks like you guys were very successful."
Meg and I both looked up at the screen to see, not one, but two babies. "Twins??" Yelled Meg, jubilantly.
I tried to grasp what I was looking at, and what was happening altogether. Then realization set in. "Oh sh- shoot."
it's hard to tell now but there are 2 dark areas. One at the bottom and one to the right. Those are my children.

Where's mom when we need her. She would be so happy for you guys. Hopefully our excitement satisfies you a little in your longing to tell mom. I wish I didn't live so far, but Brett has assured me that I (myself with no children:) can make a trip in February.
I am SO excited for you both. Those kids are so lucky because you will be a great dad and Megan will be the best mother:)
You left my house and I bawled. Mom was always so excited when we each told her we were pregnant. None of us got to say "TWINS". I can only imagine her excitement!!
I am so excited for you both.
Like I said - I would be happy to just take one and raise it myself, and I promise not to tell it the truth. (Could I have a girl please:)...)
Congratulations!!
PS why did you omit an entire paragraph??
I cannot stop thinking about this. What amazing news. Congratulations and WOW!
Congrats!
That is so funny. I think that you need to put the paragraph back in. I also think that your mom is playing with those babies right now and teaching them all kinds of things. Perhaps she is telling them all the naughty things you did when you were little Josh. I would love to babysit while you both work as long as you offer insurance.
That was very suspenseful. What did the man ask her to do? I guess some truths are better left out there. I can grasp that.
Congratulations.
Josh & Meg
Congratulations!!! How exciting and what a beautiful surprise. I agree, your Mom is playing with your twins now. How happy she must be to be able to show these new little spirits what a fantastic family they will be joining. The Dorius clan just keeps on growing. Bet your Dad and Roe are excited too. T W I N S ! ! ! How awesome.
I'm so happy for you. I just read this (and cried). I'm finally not in shock anymore. You are going to be great parents. Josh, your mom would be so proud of you! I'm proud of both of you and am here to help in any way that I can.
