Thoughts on twins

I am constantly being asked what it's like to have twins. Let me start by saying, when I was pregnant with Chase and Faith, I didn't necessarily care if I was having a boy or girl, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't having twins. Being a twin myself and my twin sis. having twins, I was worried abt. my chances of having them. My perspective changed a bit after having a difficult time getting another baby here after Faith. There wasn't anything I wanted more than to have another baby. Prior to getting pregnant with Ty and Crew, Chase said he thought we'd have twins. I have to admit, I had felt that way too. In fact, I told my mom I felt like there were two babies waiting to come into our family.

So, having said all this, my perspective on having twins has changed. I have loved it...all of it. Even when they were first born and in the NICU. Each day I would visit them and marvel at how perfect they were. No matter what, they would be mine forever. I admit, there are times I wonder why I have been blessed to care for these special babies...I don't know, but I am very grateful. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't appreciate them. They are a gift.

Ty is a patient little guy. He's content to sit for now and loves to look at his brother and giggle. You know when Ty's happy when he makes his duck noises. We think he's going to have a sense of humor like his dad...and as Kirk would say, his dad's good looks too. I agree.

Crew is a mover and a shaker. A few weeks after he learned how to sit he decided to crawl. You know when he's happy when his mouth is open. He loves to be tossed up in the air and bounced up and down. I look forward to watching these two grow up together but am a bit sad time has already flown by so quickly. I guess the key is to cherish each day. Thanks again Laura for the BEAUTIFUL pictures...to see more, check out her website at laurafarrisphotograpy.blogspot.com
