Rebecca "weighs" in

I guess it's my turn.

What an amazing miracle to think about two babies moving and growing inside my swelling abdomen at the same time. I still can't quite get a hold of life with newborn twins and 3 older kids. God must have an awesome plan and a great sense of humor.

Telling our friends and family about the twins was very fun! The reactions varied: shocked, horrified, excited, amazed. My favorite reactions? From my sister Marissa, "Congratulations, and I am so sorry." From my friend Kristin Hammett, "I've always wanted a friend with twins!"

I must confess, I fight anxiety about the birth of these two precious gifts. I'm praying they'll be healthy enough at birth to come home with us right away! That means they need to "cook" as long as possible- so then I wonder, how big can I actually get and still walk around?

Funny we're starting a blog now. I wonder if we'll even have time to keep it updated once Joel and Leah arrive????
