Luke/Baby A's first teeth!

As many of you know, Luke was "Twin A"  during my pregnancy and also considered "Twin A"  after he was born because he was born first.  It's confusing, but if he had been born second he still would have been "Twin A" in utero because he was lower in my uterus, but "Twin B" if he'd been born second. They label them before they're born as A and B, according to their position, then after their born,  A and B according to their birth order.  Ours stayed Twin A (Luke) and Twin B (Isabel) the whole time.  So....anyways,  Luke/Twin A is getting his first two teeth!  The very tips have bud through the gums.  Josh was actually the one that discovered this today!  He's the one always sticking his fingers in their mouths :)   I do have a feeling Isabel's are coming soon too.  I said all that about the twin a/b thing because it is so interesting to watch them develop as twins. Now, I don't have an older child or anything else to compare to, but I still think it's interesting. Some things they wake up and do on the same DAY, other things, one is doing and the other is still not.  This may only interest me, but I am blogging about it partly because I don't want to forget this day, and it's sort of an ordeal getting the baby book out..etc...so this way I can keep track!!    

And....here's a list of Top Ten Things Never To Say To a Mother or Twins or Multiples, found from an article on momsmagazine.com.  Josh and I were laughing because we literally get most of these on a daily basis!!   It might surprise you  - but I get #2 pretty often!  Hello??? I actually dont ever mind people stopping me - I know it's fun to see twins, and most people are very sweet. But please people - if you ever see a mom of two or more....just smile and get the door for her :)   

1.  You must have your hands full!
2.  Are they identical? (especially if they are clearly a boy and girl)
3.  Did you use
fertility drugs?
4.  Do twins run in your family?
5.  Better you than me!
6.  How do you tell them apart?
7.  Are they all yours?
8.  Which one is the smart one?
9.  You’re lucky you got your family all in one shot.
10. I always wanted to have twins!

2 days before the twins arrived....

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
