Blessings...times 2!

An hour ago, we had this ultrasound photo taken.


Oh.my.word.  Do you see those two babies in there?

Yes, I'm still in shock.  Over the moon excited, but shocked.

My mom was my exact age when she found out she was pregnant with twins.  She had two kids at home too.  Its eery how similar our stories have been.

She told me a few weeks ago that I was having twins.  "I could just tell...your symptoms were the same as mine."

She was right.  Isn't mom always right?  My mom is.  It makes me mad sometimes.

So, here's to two of everything.  Car seats, cribs, outfits, bottles...and now I'm going to stop.  Before I freak out.

Taking it one day at a time.  Thank you Lord for double blessings...especially the most unexpected!

Yes, Matt was there. I was so glad he didn't freak out in the office. We were both laughing hysterically. A shocking laughter, I think. Reality will set in soon. We'd appreciate your prayers!

Oh my word my heart just stopped, literally. ok maybe it just skipped a beat but whatever it was it hurt and it made me want to cry, smile, and like you said laugh hysterically! I CAN NOT imagine having twins! I forgot you had twin sisters. I am looking forward to reading all about this adventure, it will be just like old times. You know your blog is the first one I ever started reading. I didn't even know what a blog was until you. Kara called me and told me I had to read because you were on the internet blogging updates during your labor! It was so exciting, just like I was there :o)
