BIG News is Out!

Our news is out!!  If you haven't heard, our BIG news is that we are expecting TWINS in May 2013!!  There is so much to tell and share, but I just want to do as good a job as I can documenting this precious time in our lives.  It has been a very emotional few months going from shock, utter disbelief, total joy and excitement, to feeling terrified about how we are going to do it, manage all the logistics, and be the kind of parents we want to be to each of our children!!  We know God has His hand in this, as we had decided to try one month, and if it didn't work, we would be overjoyed and content with the beautiful, healthy boys we have!  Well, God didn't just bless us with one, but with two more children!!  It is a miracle in sooooooo many ways for us!

Right now we are praying for a healthy pregnancy, healthy and full-term babies, for Colt and Cade as they make this adjustment from two to four, and for Kevin and I to have the strength, patience, and energy to keep up with them all and meet each of their individual needs!  We truly are overwhelmed with emotion and honestly are still in disbelief all of this is happening and are trusting in God to provide, and we know He will!!  So, here I am at 13 weeks!  It is hard to hide, but what a BLESSING I have been feeling so well so far!!  As Kevin keeps telling me, take it a day at a time, and that is exactly what I am trying to do!! (A good lesson for this hyper-planner to work on!  And, did I mention flexibility...yes, I think I will be getting plenty of practice in that area, too! ;) )

( I promise to put some ultrasound pictures of these sweet babies up soon!!  Right now, we are just hoping all the blood work on their health comes back good!!  It looks like we may have one of each gender, although we really could care less - we just hope for healthy, full-term babies!  Brothers are the best gift we could give our boys and a sister/daughter would be an amazing new experience for Kevin and me, so if we get one of each, we couldn't be happier!)



Much love,
Kevin, Courtney, Colt, and Cade
