Our Journey from 3 to 5!

Back to Blogging... 16 Months Later!

You probably thought that I would never return! I have to say that after having Colton and the fun whirlwind that surrounds a new baby, I found less and less time to blog! BUT have no fear, I am back! And happy to post that we are now expecting babies #2 & #3! Yes! We are having twins! We were so excited when we found out that we were expecting! Aaron and I had always our kids to be close and to grow up together. And then we went for the ultrasound! Holy Moly! What a surprise we had when the tech told us that we were having TWINS!!! Not to mention that we were the 3rd set to come out of that room that day! (and it was only 10:30AM!!!) I will never forget Aaron's reaction for as long as I live! It was priceless and he was nothing short of shocked! LOL I just laughed to keep myself from crying. Not crying because I was sad, but because there was a flood of emotions with the news. I would go from a mom of a 15 month old to a mom of 3 under the age of 2! However, we know that God will not give us more then we can handle, and we are thankful to Him for these precious gifts. Colton is a pure joy to have and I can only imagine how much fun we will have watching all 3 of them grow up! As the week went on after we found out, there were lots of worries- space issues, financial issues, how are we going to do this issues, and concerns for my health and theirs! But as we progress along, each week gets easier and each week gets better! Colton moved into a big boy bed in his new room and LOVES it! It was the smoothest transition I could have ever asked for! And the nursery is coming along nicely. It is going to be very simple as I will need room to move around with two of them but I am totally fine with that! I learned after having Colton that less is more! :) Each week we become more excited and anxious to meet these little pumpkins. And Colton is excited too! You ask him where his babies are and he kissed my tummy! Melts my heart. It is flying by already and hard to believe that they will be here before we know it!
