What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

Here is a picture of Matt and his father and brothers. Matt (my hubby) is the one on the far left. His twin is on the far right. Thanks to a different hair style, it isn't too awful hard for people to tell them apart. Of course-I can see lots of other differences too. Posted by Picasa

Having twins is alittle scary at first but if you were having twins you would be elated after having them. All your anxiety would pass very very quickly and you would just be too in love to have any worries. The hard part is just adjusting to caring for two babies at a time. The hard thing for me was not being able to walk around with my babies the way I like to. I always walk around with my babies, sleep with my babies, just sit with my babies and so on until they are several months old. I had to swap out babies and I still didn't get to hold them much in the beginning because one was on oxygen and it was for the first month or two and that just changed life as I knew it. I couldn't do all the things I wanted to with that oxygen tank.

There were many many differences compared to when you have a single baby but it seemed like there was more good than there was disadvantages.

Another thing good was that they comforted each other alot so I didn't have to as much and they were my first babies to sleep through the night at 3 months old because they had each other. I always sleep with my babies but that was harder to do with two babies then it is with one. All my other babies didn't sleep through the night until they were at least a year old.

I do have to say though that I would love to have twins again so remember that if you do end up finding out that you are having twins. If I am willing to do it again it must be a great experience. Do let me know what you find out.

As for your husband and his brother they do look alike. Do you think my twins are fraternal or identical? Now you have me wondering. It would be fun to have them tested. One twin has a small mole on her face, arm and foot and the other doesn't. I asked their doctor if that meant they weren't identical. She said no you can have small differences like that in identical twins. She said Sarah might just get those same marks in a couple of years. I would think though if you are from the same egg/sperm that if you are genetically prone to moles in certain areas then it would happen to both of you if you are identical. So little things like that make me want to have them tested. I am more curious then ever now.

Thanks for sharing the picture of your hubby and his brother. I enjoyed all your pictures as usual.

By the way did you get my question where I asked how you type words under the pictures you post on your blogpage? How do you do that? I cannot seem to find outt how to do it. I don't want to waste my time trying to figure it out if you can just email me the instructions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and have a blessed night.

Be sure to rest up for you and baby. Take care of the both of you. Or maybe the three of you.
Blessings

I can see some small differences in their jawline, etc., but it's really amazing how similar they look for fraternal twins! (Handsome lads, all four, tho' I'm sure which handsome lad you favor...)

Brenda said...

Yes I must agree with Abigail they are all handsome fellows but we know which one you favor :)

You know, it's funny. I was disappointed to post this pcture because I didn't think it did any justice to how they do look alike because to me, they don't look anything alike in this picture. I wanted to post something though. A lot of their 'look alikes' come from the same expressoins they have, the way they move their bodies, and hold themselves, the way they talk-things like that.

Brenda-getting words directly under your pictures is very easy if you have the right photo program. What do you use to post pictures? I use something called Hello. It is free and very easy to use. If you go to Hello.com you can download it-then download your pictures. Before you publish them to your blog, you can write an excerpt for each photo. If you decide to download the program (which I would recommend) it will give you easy step-by-step instrutions and walk you through everything. I didn't get the first question or I would have answered long ago...sorrry! :-)

Thanks for the info I will give it a try. I do have hello but I just never saw a place to comment. Do you just write under the picture before posting?

How are you feeling these days? I know Paula is very sick with morning sickness wondering how you are doing? I am still praying for another baby. Have not had any opportunities yet. I have not normalized yet since the hemorraghing. I am just patiently waiting.

Your pictures are great. You and hubby look great in that one picture and I love your room and Corynns room. They look great.
Have a great day!
