Friday

So we made it throught this week! The kids are not liking the cold front. It is seriously hindering their time outside. Spencer did enjoy some wading in our yard, it turns into a small pond everytime it rains. He said it was "so dude awesome!" He was so excited he had to change clothes from being soaked! I do not understand boys!!! Spencer, Carter and Bo all walk around hitting each other and making noises at each other....sometimes I just sit all confused wondering why they do the things they do!!!!

I am so very happy for my husband that he has his little men. I am excited to see what God has growing in my belly! I am not sure if we can handle two girls in our family but one of each sex would be nice....Bo and I actually are praying for 2 healthy healthy babies!

I am continuing to experience extreme exhaustion...I have rested more in this pregnancy over any of the other ones! Yikes! I am limited to smaller portions already due to double the fun in the utero!!! So I am eating more snacks. I also as always have a loss of IQ for the duration! It is one of the first ways I know I am pregant! I was in Georgia and looked at Charlene and said hand me the receipt....and she said, Lindy, it's a coupon....and we both knew I had better quickly go to Walmart for the test!!!!

Today has been slow. Carter and Alli went with me to Columbus to grab Carter's meds that have to be compounded. Spencer had art this morning. This afternoon Bo has been gracious and allowed me to rest...he rather made it rest! Bo is busy continuing to work on the parsonage. There is lots of trim work still to be done.....the next place we live Bo definately is praying we have to do zero work to live in the place! Even the house in Oxford we painted before moving in!!!

We will spend the rest of day hanging here and tomorrow do alot of the same...Sunday's are big days around here...

Praying you all have a great weekend!

We made it through Monday!!!

Today we are officially 8 weeks pregnant. This is the first pregnancy without 7 week bleeding....Bo and I are trying not to hold our breath the whole time. We are doing this way sooner than either one of us felt we were ready for....and then doing twins with double the risk....it is really a challenge and test of our faith to believe that God is who He says He is and that He can do what He says He can do and that We are who He says we are and that we can do all things through Christ and that His word is alive and active in us.....

Our friends and family are so very supportive right now on this venture....it is refreshing to have the support and love and excitement.

There is still some shock....we have had a lot of random things happen in mine and Bo's 9 years together...but no one was expecting twins!

Bo and I celebrated 9 years this Saturday...we both feel like it has been more like 30! I am proud of our marriage for standing after all we have been through. There is rarely a point in our last few years where we have not been stretched to the max. I am blessed to have a Godly husband in him. I am looking forward to the next 9 years being beautiful!

We spent the afternoon in Greanda yesterday with me seeing a few clients and the boys playing outside with Alli at Mommamacks. We visited with Josh and Laura and Steven and T and baby Rilee!

Today Bo is way under the weather and the kids and I are doing homeschool and cleaning this house!

Hopefully I am going to knock out some more sewing. I had to walk away from it because I was frustrated with the finished product....but after talking things through with Mommamack, I feel I can try again today!

Praying you all have a blessed day today!

Sewing....

Hello,

So we are trucking along! This week has been good week so far! I am trying this sewing thing again...yikes! The boys have had a great week of Homeschool. Bo has had a good week as well. I am very tired. We are doing our best to seek God's face and point the boys to Him. Spencer asked if these babies would die too and we responded the best we know how and said that if one lives we praise God, if two live we praise God, if none live we praise God. Please pray for him as he figures out this thing called life.

We enjoyed a playdate with the Shaws. They have Wilson who is Spencers age and Annie and Zoe who are I believe 3 and almost 2. The girls are here now so Mimi could take the boys to music and hopefully enjoy a few quiet moments.

Bo and I are reprioritizing things now that we are expecting. We do not know what is ahead in the journey, but we do know that we want to bring glory to the One who is laying out the journey!

Snow Day

Hello,

Today we had a snow day! It was great to wake up at 5:45ish to snow on the ground and then at 6ish to be in the bed with the boys watching the wild wind and the snow falling. A beautiful sight! Carter had just watched a Maisy video and had said I wish we had snow....Bo decided to hold off on church this morning due to some bridges being iced over. The weather channel didn't have the sun coming through until after lunch. So when Carter realized the snow was melting early he had a melt down!

Bo and I had flashbacks of Oxford snow and letting Carter outside to play in it and then him getting really sick and needing two lung procedures....so we opted to bring the snow in to play! Sounds weird I know, but when do we ever do things "normal", eh?

Bo and I are expecting again.....we were not trying to nor were we wanting to be pregnant right now, good thing God knows what is best for us and not us.

With my history and it being so close to loosing Andrew, I wanted to go back to Oxford and use Dr. Hunt and his staff. We saw them Friday and much to our surprise we are pregnant with twins. Bo is still in shock and has trouble finding words and is looking for a vascectomy doctor as soon as we have 2 full term healthy babies!

Please be praying for us....this is a whole new ballgame for us and requiring a new testing of our faith in a lot of area.

I will try to update more later this week! I do not see the doctor againg until the 26th.
