Every day I count my blessings, all 6 (the husband counts too right?) of them. The days of doubting myself as a mom or thinking there was no way I could handle twins are over. I actually enjoy it. Shocker! It was only a few short months ago that I was crying, having a pity party and wishing everything would just stay the same. Thank you God for knowing that I could handle it and that I would grow tremendously as a wife and mother by going through the difficult process. He knew. He always does yet I fight Him and doubt Him every chance that I can get. He doesn't make mistakes. One day I will figure that out and surrender. I'll trust. Life would be so much more enjoyable and calm if I would get out of my own way and allow God to lead me. It's not rocket science but still so hard to do.
The babies are growing every day as expected. They look more and more alike each day and yes, we get them mixed up if we aren't looking closely. They are sweet, snugly and calm most of the time. Each brother has started trying to hit toys on the play mat, smile and Luke has given us his first laugh. The little milestones are always fun and exciting to experience with them, no matter how many times I get to witness them. It is a privilege to be with them each day so that I can see their little smiles.
I love it when people say, "Your hands are full!" They are! They get held all of the time, they hug all of the time and I get the amazing opportunity to love BIG all of the time. Having a large family isn't a burden, it is a tremendous blessing. I'm figuring that out more and more each day.
Check out how full my hands (and heart) are! I love these kiddos so very much.
