More than half way there!
Life has been a whirl-wind since discovering that we are expecting twins. Soo many things to think about and I am already more than half way through the pregnancy. We had an ultra sound a few weeks ago and discovered that we are going to have a boy and a girl! This is absolutely perfect because my husband wanted more boys, of course, and I wanted at least one girl.
We are still living in our cozy little condo and have been preparing it for two new arrivals. We are going to have the twins in with us for a while until they sleep through the night. Then they will share a room with their big brother, Gabriel.
Gabriel is unfortunately going through a bit of the terrible two's. He has been fussy lately and seems to go from zero to sixty in no time. Meal time has been particularly difficult as it seems he does not want to eat anything yet still cries at the hunger pains. Kyle and I are dealing with it the best we can with the constant montra of "it won't last forever."
We received some difficult news lately pertaining to Kyle's job. We had hoped for a reasonable raise this year, especially with the twins coming and due to all of the extra time he has had to put in at work lately. Much to our disapointment Kyle did not receive a raise. I felt particularly bad for him because mostly due to my pregnancy I was unable to hold back my disapointment and balled my head off right in front of him. We have come to terms with it though. It will be a faith building exercise. In the midst of my crying I heard God very clearly telling me that everything would be just fine. He gave us everything we have, including blessing us with twins and he will provide. I am currently at an unexpecting point right now in that instead of being sad or unhappy about our financial situation I am actually very excited to see how God is going to work in our lives.
Kyle hopes to meet with his boss again in six monthes and discuss a possible raise then. I am praying that everything will work itself out. Hopefully in a years time we will fall into some kind of money as our sedan car currently has three car seats lined up in the back seat with no extra room. Once the twins make the transition from an infant car seat to regular ones it may not work.
Through it all I know that God is right beside us and guides our paths. For some reason we are to ride out this storm for the time being. Faith in knowing that he will take care of us is how I keep going.
