7 Weeks Old

Happy Easter

This is the first holiday the babies have been out in the real world to celebrate. It wasn't too exciting of a day... The babies babies started the day by throwing up several times. We went to church, where they were both being fussy. After church we ran home so that I could pump, and then we went to Jim and Janet's (friends from our old church who attend the same church we do now) house and enjoy Easter dinner with their family. We came home and I fed the babies while Brent mowed the yard. We then played and cuddled and took naps as a family. It's so nice having all of us home together :) I think Sunday afternoons are my favorite for this reason:) And now Daddy is reading the Bible to the babies and getting them ready for bed!

Brent is now working three jobs and has a regular schedule. Monday thru Saturday he is working at Primo's from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Monday thru Thursday, he does to the dry cleaning place after Primos and drives their van and normally gets home around 7:00pm. Friday and Saturday nights he is delivering for Pat's Pizza.

We are officially going to Indiana for an interview. We leave the morning of Saturday May 14th and come back on Monday in time for Brent to be to work. Please pray for us as we prepare to go and try to discern if this is the ministry that God is calling us to or not.

Still no interest on our house... hopefully as the weather is nicer and such, there will be some more...

Another prayer request... my cousin Monty was killed in a motorcycle accident early this morning. Please pray for his parents, Jeff and Diane (dad and step-mom) and Gayle (mom) and his brother Dustin.

My Six Week Follow Up

I had my six week follow up today. Everything is all good! The most exciting part of the visit was stepping on the scale! I am 17 lbs lighter than I was when I got pregnant!

Yes, we are twins! Every once in a while Mommy dresses us alike :)

We're six weeks old!

I can't believe my babies are already six weeks old! They are growing up so fast and we are trying to enjoy every minute of it.

The only thing I don't like about being a twin mommy is all of the comments and extra attention I get in public when I have both the babies. Everyone that notices I have two feels like they have to say something. About half of the time, they say whatever they have to say to whoever they are with... and the other half they say it to me. It doesn't bother me if they just "oh, twins!" or something along those lines and keep on walking. But so many people feel the need to stop and gawk at them, which I really don't like. And then I get the comments "oh, double trouble" or "you have your hands full" and other such things. One lady the other day said "I think I would just have to kill my self if I had twins" - I responded "Good thing God gave them to me then" and walked away. My favorite comment so far has been "how far apart are they?" and I responded "six minutes". The lady then said "so must be they aren't twins then?" I wish I would have had something witty to say, but I just kindly told her they were twins and walked away. The other common question I get is "so, you got your boy and your girl, so now you're done right?" Some people do say nice things though. Yesterday a lady said "how sweet, a double blessing" and then kept on walking. I really do like those comments :)
