The countdown begins...

Last night I was reminded that If I could think of a time God has been most evident in my life, it would be during my pregnancy. Although, I think I notice this more looking back then I did while I was going through it, but isn't that normally how it goes? :)

Having twins, as my first doctor let me know, can be a very scary and dangerous thing. She had me going to high risk specialist and put more of a fear in me then excitement of being pregnant. TWINS! HOW COOL! That is what everyone reaction was, but that's not how I felt.  Insurance changed which she did not accept so I was rushing to find a new doctor almost done with my first trimester. This at the time seemed so stressful, but I know God was just moving me around :)

I only had about a week of "morning sickness" which really was all day sickness, but only threw up 2 times my whole pregnancy. TMI? Maybe, but I am getting to a point.

I never had early labor, contractions, high blood pressure, and of that scary stuff. My doctor said I was boring. I see now that is a good thing :)

Had healthy baby girls, They are now sleeping through the night (thank the Lord) and they sleep in till 8am.

So long story short, God knows I needed girls, I don't know what to do with boys, I am surrounded by little girls every day! He knows I needed a good doctor that was confident with twins and never put a hint of worry inside of me. He knew I don't handle barfing and sickness well. He knows I need my beauty sleep and can't wake up before 8 am :)

No, I am not bragging, sometimes we need to make a list of the good things in our life that God is doing rather then constantly focus on the things that are not going as YOU have planned. ( I was NOT planning on having twins!).  Then maybe we will see that God is actually working in our life rather then deserting us.


Proverbs 3:5-6 (The Message)

5 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.6 Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.

 

 

 

The countdown begins.. The girls first birthday will be here before I know it!  They are both walking now, and learning how to whistle :) They have very different personalities. Just because they are twins does not mean they have to be the same all the time! They are two different people, just happened to be born at the same time :) Still to this day I say to myself everyday,  "I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TWINS!"

We found these headbands in an envelope at my grandmas house after she had passed away.She never got to meet them, but she gave them a special gift :)

I have realized that God gives something special to moms. Momma Instinct! I am learning to ACT on it quickly rather then thinking to myself and trying to talk myself out of it being a worry wart. I have learned what happens when you don't act on it.. :( and what happens when you do! Anyways,  Mommas- don't ever feel like you are over thinking something, or let someone talk to out of what you feel is right. You know your babies best! Some call it instinct.. but some also call it Gods voice. No matter what you call it.. listen to it!
