8 Weeks - Hoped for ...

We have arrived at the 8 week mark now. Gee things move slowly when you want them. Impatience they call that. We truly sit in the Hebrews 11:1 verse right now.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

We are certain, certain that this is God's miracle, and we sure as sure "do not see" our little babies. :-)

I am actually not that impatient and am enjoying this stage of life. It has been 9.5 years hoping but not seeing our own children born into this world. This next phase, 7 months, it will go like a wind, 7 months vs 9.5 years. I know which is shorter.

I can say it is enjoyable, but poor Sara. Everything is horrid - smells, bathrooms, walking, sitting. Twins sure do bring out the strength of morning sickness. (not morning BTW). It is for a greater cause and you can see that is understood in the very centre of how Sara carries her self. Her determined eyes and face. To endure is a small price to pay. She says it when she can, (when, because, probably because she is so sick the other times that she can't :-) but I know she is just happy. We both are.

We have been doing a little bit of eye opening of "things" we need. Boy that is a world unto itself. I know we won't get carried away with it all, especially I think because (a) we are generally real people, and (b) twins remind us that there are some important things to think about.

So wild!! Twins .. who'd have thought. Actually God had a pretty good idea. I have always wanted twins.. and well God gives you the desires of your heart. I dare not reduce this miracle to anything less. He is an awesome God. Thank you.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. .. Before, during and after.

Ultrasound all good...

So we went for our ultrasound today. In credible I was amazed at the technology. I mean, you know it exists and that's cool.. but the coolest thing was how the ultrasound machine calculates the heart rate(s)...
