It has been awhile since I have blogged about any house projects. We did complete our master bathroom this past fall, but other then that not much else. This January we got some exciting news.. we are pregnant!!! Then the first week of March we got even bigger news...
TWINS!!! To say Clay and I were shocked is kind of an understatement. Now that the shock factor has died down a little bit, we are so over joyed and excited to have twins! The night we found out we were having twins I came home and sat on the couch and called my closest friends. The one thing that each friend told me was, "if anyone can handle twins you can.." I think this was God's way of telling me it would all be ok. Another friend reminded me that God has known I would have twins and has been preparing me for this journey. When I was in high school I started babysitting for a family that has twins. The twins were barely one at the time and now they are turning 11 this summer. They have been a big part of my life and I know that if I could babysit them every week and over summer vacation then I can handle twins of my own now.
My pregnancy has overall been great! I did feel sick the first trimester and I feel constantly tired. My mom mentioned the other day that I have really been blessed so far. My prayer is that I will continue to stay healthy throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. I am hoping to carry the twins to at least 37-38 weeks.
Here is a picture of me at 12 weeks:
And here is last week at 21 weeks:
This weekend we are starting to work on the nursery. Clay is going today to buy the paint and my mom is going to come over and help him paint the room. My mom has also offered to make the bedding for the twin's beds! We are going this weekend to buy all the fabric we picked out.
We are looking forward to this adventure that lays ahead!
