DD/DS: Talitha Paige and Paul Alexander Nearly two and a half years have passed since Wil and Bekah were married. Wil is still playing hockey for the Flyers. He is starting to become a leader on the team and really likes the way he's playing. Bekah has been working part-time in the NICU at a local hospital. However, she recently took maternity leave. After a year and a half of unsuccessfully trying to have children, Wil and Bekah decided to try some fertility treatments. After the third treatment, Bekah was elated to find out that she was pregnant! Wil and Bekah eagerly began preparing the nursery for their new baby. They decided not to find out the gender of their baby, so they Wil painted the nursery in yellow, green, and white and Bekah bought white wood baby furniture to decorate. At 16 weeks, the ultrasound tech told Wil and Bekah that they would be having twins. They were even more excited to find out that they were going to get two little blessings instead of one! By 31 weeks, Bekah was ready to be finished with her pregnancy. Because of carrying the twins, she and Wil decided that she would quit working early. In addition, Bekah started having contractions at 30 weeks and was advised to remain on bedrest for the remainder of her pregnancy. Bekah wasn't happy about being on bedrest, but she didn't want anything to happen to her babies either. Wil and Bekah welcomed their twins into the world five weeks early. Talitha Paige and Paul Alexander were small, but healthy. Their names have special meaning to Wil and Bekah--Talitha means "little girl", Paige is her middle name because Bekah's sister Paige passed away of leukemia when she was 13. Paul means "small or humble" and Alexander was used as his middle name as an honor to Wil. Talitha and Paul were able to go home after three weeks in the hospital to a house full of well wishers and family.
