From Four to Six

Well things have been changing quickly around our house.  Our big news is this...


Yep, we are doubling our kid count and expecting TWINS (2 boys to be exact)!   We were surprised with the news of this pregnancy being twins but are beyond excited for these two new additions to our family.   There has been lots of morning sickness but that is finally going away and now it's just battling feeling tired all the time.  I can't tell at this point that there are two babies in there moving around, except that I'm showing way more then I was with one and I actually feel like I can feel my stomach growing.  The other night my stomach so tight and it felt like my skin was just being stretched, a weird and uncomfortable feeling that I never had with our first two.

Between keeping up with the two kids and trying to keep our house in order there isn't much that really gets done quickly around here these days.  Tyler is great at helping out and we have simply decided we don't mind living with a little chaos and mess.  It's only gonna get crazier around here with 4 kids age 5 and under (3 who will be under the age of 2) right?


Anyway, this is what has been keeping us so busy the past few months.    Lots of changes taking place for our family in the months to come.  The 2 new boys are due to arrive sometime in June and then shortly after their arrival Neal will be starting kindergarten so life will look quite different here this summer.  Plus Gwendolyn and I are gonna have to stick together since we will be out numbered with all the boys in the house.



We are praising the Lord for his abundant blessings and the gifts of these new kids and we look forward to embracing whatever lies ahead for us as we transition from a family of 4 to a family of 6.
