Well, There You Go.....Completely Gobsmacked...

It's twins. Two Peanuts with two lovely heartbeats. We are stunned, thrilled and completely startled at the thought. I'll post pics as soon as I can get them scanned.

What an amazing milestone we've passed. Long way to go especially now with the extra things to monitor knowing that there are two. But today we got another miracle... for that we are truly grateful.

Morning sickness hit. I hurled once. So far, not too bad. I mostly gag. I look like a cat trying to cough up a furball. Very attractive. The Mister smiles every time I do it. Apparently it's funny because he'll be talking to me and then "gak" and he just stops and laughs. Then I get a pat and a "my poor baby".

It's been a long, nerve-wracking week while we waited to see what's was happening. I will get some sleep and catch up with everyone this weekend. Our most sincere thanks for the support during these rough spots. We look forward to some smooth sailing now. :-)

He Prayed Today

The Mister is the strong, silent type. Don't get me wrong, he talks....a lot sometimes. He just doesn't get into too much of the mushy, emotional stuff. He's like a lot of men. This morning I got up, walked over and gave him a smooch on my way to the bathroom for toilet paper inspection.

He smiled and said he loved me. Then out of his mouth came a prayer. A short, sweet yet most profound and special one for me. It was simply, "Thank you God for another day with the Peanuts." I was a bit startled to hear him say that. But so very grateful none the less. It reminded me to say thank you to God too.

Later after pulling the never ending weeds and mowing the yards he came into the house, stripped nekkid and headed to the shower. On the way past me, I said, "Thanks for the prayer for the Peanuts today."

Him: "How do you know about that?"
Me: "Um, you said it out loud..."
Him: "I did? Huh."

We left it at that. Enough said.

We are never alone in these or any other experiences. Sometimes for brief moments I think we women forget that. I rely so heavily on him for support that I need to remember to support him too. Give your Misters hugs and kisses today; remember they feel the same things we do.
