UN: AmandaJane
LN: Hall
DH: John William, 26
DW: Emily Grace, 25
DS/DS: Reid Emanuel & Levi Brennan
Just two months before Emily found out she was pregnant, John switched from the Navy to the Army, a move that he had been thinking about for quite some time. The transition moved them from their Virginia Naval base to an Army Post located in South Carolina.
When they had finally settled in their new home, John learned he would be deployed to Iraq in 2 weeks for 6 months. This being the first time Emily will be saying "good-bye" to her husband, the two celebrated their last night together as any other married couple would. The next morning John left.
One month later, Emily began having morning sickness and thought she might be pregnant. She took a pregnancy test and the results were positive. Excited about the new addition that will be added to her and John's family, Emily was also scarred - knowing she would be alone during most of her pregnancy and that John wouldn't be here to experience it. And she, like any other Army wife, was scarred that her husband wouldn't return...it sat in the back of her mind every day.
Via a web cam, Emily told John the news and he, too, was thrilled.
When Emily found out they were going to have twin boys, she was shocked! Twins didn't run in her nor John's family, but nonetheless was excited to welcome her boys. Needless to say, John was very excited as well because he was not having one, but TWO, boys!
Four months before Emily's due date, John returned from Iraq and all was well once again. Reid Emanuel & Levi Brennan we're born on June 1, two weeks before their actual due date. The birth went smoothly and there was no complications.
