There are many things that have grown since we began this journey.
First, obviously....Bethann. (Although now she's back to her normal size) We finally got around to ordering maternity pictures for our home, so this reminded us how big Beth used to be.
Next, the babies. They have both doubled their size since birth. To give an example of this...Stella began her doctor's appointments measuring in the 3rd percentile for length and weight. Now she has "caught up" and is in the 50th percentile, right where she needs to be. Even more amazingly, even with the rough road Trey has had, he is only slightly behind his sister.
Thirdly, the amount of "stuff" we have. If you have children, you realize how much extra stuff they bring to the equation. I am definitely astonished!
Finally, our family. Our family has grown...by numbers it has only merely doubled. But, we have learned so much, and met so many wonderful people on this journey. These people have become part of our extended family. There are too many to name, but we are positive that we will continue to stay in touch with them in the future. The warmth and generosity of the people around us, remind us that our network is just simply.....amazing!!
Now to the sad stuff...we lost a key member of our "family" who had been with us for almost 7 years. My Honda is no longer big enough to handle two car seats and all of their stuff. So, we traded it in and picked out a used SUV. There were alot of great memories with the Honda, it will be missed. (I'm tearing up!) It is nice to know that we will have enough room to travel comfortably with our new vehicle.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG5lU6gQBsqZHEkOEIuKNflqIwcFOg22XC0Ht1WqvhJXM3APTGIF7Br-ILHb5uyAEDJn1Uae9nRjBiE6hFcJyk9cV7TlEwhSk669_8134fWc3qchPkAZ_atfMws8kH2ifhlFeArWhINJw/s320/100_0373.JPG)
Tomorrow's preview: "Triple Digits"...
I am so happy and thankful I was able to have some Stella cuddle time this evening!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how big she is getting! I continue to pray for the twins and for you both. Thanks for the updates!
