My Kiddo's and our Twin story

 Yesterday we went and found out that we will be having a girl.  We plan on naming her Saige Kalianna Haley.  Adam new it was going to be girl the entire time.  I had no idea.  Hannah is really excited about having a sister and Elijah was disappointed that he wouldn't be able to get a bunk bed in his room.  Though he really is excited to be having a baby in the family.  He does so well with little kids and babies.   I think the ultra sound above makes her look like a monkey.  What do you think?

 Elijah got a large puzzle for his birthday from one of his friends, so we put it together the other night and he actually did most of it him self.  He is getting so grown up it amazes me that just a short time we found out he would be joining our family. 

 Both the kids love helping me in the kitchen.  So the other morning Elijah made the bacon and Hannah cooked the eggs with some help.  Elijah just last night cooking his own fried eggs by him self.  He cracked the egg and flipped them and every thing.  Can you tell that he is just so proud of what he can accomplish. 

Today I was taking some pictures of a friends husband for some work stuff, and the kids decided that while we were waiting for them to come that they needed to pose.  I am so glad that as much as they fight at times that they really do love each other and would protect each other.

When Adam and I first got married Adam had a dream several times before Elijah was born and was able to see are kids.  So we new Elijah would be first followed by Hannah.  But we also saw a set of twins and and then a baby boy.  So we have been looking forward for each child to come along.  I think that is why it was so hard to not be able to get pregnant or have so many miscarriages  because I new they were waiting. 

Well obviously we are not having twins.  We shared this experience Adam had with Family members and Some close friends, so we have had couple ask us why we aren't having twins, and I am sure there are some people who are just to nice to say any thing.  So I wanted to share some of the things that Adam and I have felt since we found out about the baby coming. 

There are several reason that we can guess as to why we aren't have the twins we thought would come.  1.  I have had many miscarriages and we don't know which little one or little ones I was carrying for the short time.  2.  Maybe Adam and I didn't keep the experience more sacred.  3.  Or maybe Heavenly Father just new that I would not be able to handle caring for twins on my own.  I for one know I would have lost it.  4. Maybe the twins weren't twins at all maybe they just look a lot a like.  And number 5, This one is one that strongly presses on my mind.  Heavenly Father may show us things through special experiences, like showing Adam our children, knowing that that is not what would happen.  But showed us some thing, so that when it isn't what we saw, that we could have that Faith in Heavenly Father knowing that we were getting what was planned in the first place.  Heavenly Father wants us to trust him in all that happens in our lives, this may be one way of telling our family that we need to have more trust in him, and even when things don't happen the way we thought it would that we would still have the faith, Hope, and most important Love for Him and the Savior and who ever may be coming in to our Family. 

I am in no way disappointed that we are only having one baby, I am thrilled that Heavenly Father still finds be to be person who can teach, love and care for another little one.  Does this mean we will have more, in the future we will try again for another little one, and if it happens great id not, I will be happy with what Heavenly Father blesses me with.
