1st purchase

I went through Oxford on my way home a few weeks ago and decided to make a quick trip to the Mustard Seed. I literally had about 10 minutes and of course, when you're not looking for anything in-particular is when you see it! ;) I had thought a little bit about changing tables and baby beds but not much but I knew when I saw this piece that it would make a great changing table. I wanted an older piece that I knew we could use later....SO, much earlier than expected, we made our 1st purchase. I liked it even more once we got it home and I think it's going to work great. Now, I guess it's on to thinking about beds!

Double digits

Well, I must say it feels good to reach a "double digit" week of pregnancy--I hit week 10 today! We had an appointment on Monday and everything is looking great. The babies have grown so much and we were able to see their little arms and legs for the first time. One was going ninety to nothing and the other one was curled up and sound asleep. Their heart rates were in the 170's and they're measuring just as they should.

I am still feeling good. I've actually really surprised myself because I just knew that I was going to be dead dog sick. My stomach is weird to begin with and I don't tolerate birth control very well so I just knew I was going to be in for it...BUT, knock on wood, I've really been okay. I do have nausea from time to time but not anything that a zofran can't take care of ;)

As far as cravings, I've had a few. I definitely have not craved ANYTHING healthy. I could eat junk food all day everyday. My craving of the week is Doritos...last week it was Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Quick story on doughnuts---I ran to Wal Mart last week to pick up just a few things (that were NOT on the food side might I add) and I couldn't resist the Krispy Kreme stand they had when I walked in the door! So, I swiped me a box and then took down TWO in the car on the way home---and I don't even live 5 minutes from Wal Mart...Wow--I wonder how many more stories I'll have like that between now and April?! Probably quite a few...

JOY

As alot of you already know, we found out several weeks ago that we will be having IDENTICAL TWINS next spring. We actually found out on September the 8th that we were pregnant and on the 29th we had our first ultrasound that discovered we will be having TWO babies in May!!! We couldn't be more excited and are so, so thankful for this blessing!!! It's been a long, long road and sharing this fun news with you sure has been a long time coming!!! There were days that I wondered if we would ever be able to share this kind of news with anyone, but the Lord is faithful...and here we are....and we truly couldn't have anymore joy in our hearts than we do right now.

Who knows why we have to wait so long for those things that we desire most. Larkin and I have seen some pretty dark days over this "waiting period" but we only hope and pray that our dark days can help bring some light to other couples who may walk our same road. And of course,
we truly cannot thank our family and friends enough for all of the support they have given us and all the many, many, thousands of prayers that were lifted up for us and Baby Kennedy to be. So many have loved us and walked with us and for that we are forever grateful.

We are due May 18th but since it's two they have moved it up about 3 weeks to the end of April. Things have looked GREAT so far so we pray they continue to. Will keep you posted!

"Oh that you would burst from the heavens and come down. How the mountains quake in your presence....for since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for Him." Is. 64: 1-4
