33 weeks

I am at the point in pregnancy that I cry when I get tired. Last night was an example of this. I was weary, as Mathwon described it, and I think that is the best term to describe what I felt. Even though I've been through this before it's still hard to imagine that there's a baby in there, let alone 2 babies!! A friend told me that her friend who had twins said it doesn't really hit you until you are holding two in your arms, and I believe that is the truth! I can't fathom their sweet little faces or imagine their quiet cries (hey I'm being positive here!), or imagine their big brother with them. It's all part of the miracle and the astounding surprise and overwhelming thankfulness that hits you when you set your eyes on them for the first time. Mathwon and I can plan and plan all we want and still nothing prepares you for that moment when you see your child for the first time. It's supposed to be that way. It's in that moment they capture your heart.

Mathwon and I were discussing the other night how much we've enjoyed 12 months and up with Demani because it's such a joy to see him learn and grow. Once again, there's just nothing like it and we both realized we are excited to get to experience this time all over again, twice over!

So, little ones, your family is as ready as they can be to welcome you into the world. We do hope you stay in your safe place until June. Please! We'd like a chance to get settled in our new place which offers us a bit more space for you and most importantly, it's better for you to stay where you are for a few more weeks! My prayers for a safe and healthy delivery are mounting and my confidence wavers occasionally as to how breastfeeding two works...my loving, strong husband reminded me again last night that I had some of these same concerns with Demani and we figured everything out. So these are the thoughts of a preggers mom, 33 weeks into carrying twins - these would be the sane and cohesive thoughts...I save the crazy stuff for my patient husband!
