The score...
Girls 02
Boys 01
We all got to go with Em to her ultrasound this week (except for Lilee...she was in school). It was so amazing to see little Charlee moving around and doing so well. Hearing that little heart beat and seeing that little peanut...(sighhhh)... makes me want another one like ASAP.
I had it all planned out... (me, have something planned out...I know, I know...what's new!). We were going to wait a little longer hoping the housing market would get better, then put our house on the market and start looking for something bigger. Something that would accommodate more than a family of four. Something that we could plan on staying in...for many years. But I don't want to wait too much longer...life's too short to have everything perfectly planned out. The surprises are what makes life exciting. Besides...right about the time I think I have everything in line...that's when God reminds me of something I promised Him a long time ago. I promised to give up control, and let Him guide my steps. It's not in my character to "let go". It makes me craaaazy anxious to allow my life to be unplanned. But I know HIS timing is perfect, not mine. Right at this moment, as I’m typing this…I look over my shoulder at the best surprise of my life. She’s wearing her dance recital dress from last year…that she says makes her look like Cinderella. Watching her…sitting in the middle of her playroom floor, quietly coloring, humming The Little Mermaid song. I think to myself…”we didn’t have Lilee planned, and she’s filled my heart in a way that is beyond description”.
So...after all that rambling...my point is this. After thinking about it...or rather trying NOT to think...
…bigger house or not, I’m thinking sooner rather than later.
And guess what else...
I'll be secretly hoping for twins!! Nothing would thrill me more!! (I can just see my husband AND my mom passing out as they read this!)

Go for it, that's what I say! And you're right, just when you think you have things planned the way YOU want and the way YOU think is best, God steps in to show you that HE is ultimatly in control! And even though there are lots of "unplanned" pregnancies & babies, when you think about it, they were planned by the big guy upstairs.
And I'm going to hope for twins right along with ya. Hey, they'd make the 3rd set in our little neighborhood! ; ) I know your mom will agree with me--they're a LOT fo work but man, the reward is AWESOME!
WOW....now that I have picked myself up out of the floor..Katie and twins...ok, whatever God wants! Most people would say you are crazy but...I have been there and nothing would thrill me more than to have two more Katie/Lilee's. Not sure my heart could stand it...with all the joy but..I will take whatever God gives us...and besides they could never have a better Mommy and Daddy!!!!!
HaHaHaHa...I would love to see that. If anyone knows anything about twins, other than a twin themselves, it's you. Wonder if anyone else out there has two sets of twin sisters? I wish you would get on it...can't hardly wait :)
Include me in the list of Brian and your mother surprised to read that you wanted twins. Of course, I would love it. And you and Brian are such wonderful parents, it would be a blessing all the way around. A new larger home would be nice, but it doesn't give you the joy that your children and family give you. Just get busy so we can all be surprised and happy with the outcome. Love you!
