Divine Irony

What we thought was going to be our last baby, has in fact, turned out to be BABIES! That's right! Two of them! We're having TWINS! A boy and a girl.I had a nagging feeling the whole pregnancy thus far that I was having twins. I had only mentioned it a few times even to Drew (because, well, I HATE to be wrong or thought crazy). But, even when he'd say "Hi baby" to my belly, I would correct him in my head and say "Hi Babies". I had even imagined what I would say to my family if I was having twins! I had finally convinced myself that it was not twins and I was just being silly.

However, at the ultrasound as soon as she put the thing on my stomach she just burst out "Shut Up!! There's two in there!" Drew asked her if she was kidding. She just said, "I don't joke about twins!!"

So we have two totally healthy babies. My cervix is a little short (?) for carrying twins so it looks like I should definitely expect bedrest at some point. And of course, changing docs now is going to be a bit more stressful too!

We are truly excited and know that this is a blessing from God. The Bible says that "Children are a gift from God" and we have seen him provide in amazing ways with the addition of each child to our family. I am anxiously awaiting to see how God handles these two! But in no way are we delirious enough to think that this is going to be any kind of easy.

So, just to put it all in perspective....I'll have 5 kids under the age of five.
