I'm gonna be an Aunt---not an ANT..that's a bug :)

I've been waiting a while to post this and finally I can!! My sister-in-law, my Gemini Twin, is having twins!! I've been preggers now, for... forever. I am the first in my large family of 7 kids to have a baby. In Hubs' family there aren't any new babies from his brothers or sister (his sister is way too young now anyway). We felt like we really were gonna go through this "alone". Now, we know we are not really alone, even if we do live on opposite ends of the country as our family.. We just thought we were the pioneers of the Kids having Kids generation.

Now we know that MY GEMINI TWIN is having twins!! Her hubby, Adam, is Kyle's oldest brother. He's such a good man. I knew he would be a good father when we went golfing with him one lazy afternoon. I am not a golfer. I can play Tiger Woods on Playstation, but I can not golf. He was so great with me! He used positive reinforcement throughout the whole game. I can not drive to save my life, but I found that I'm pretty good at getting the ball out of the sand in one shot. He was sure to praise me when I did that, many times, and well, I got a big head. He was so wonderful. I knew then and there that he would be a great father. He was so patient and kind.

My Gemini Twin, Lori, is no doubt going to be the best mom. She's sweet, caring, and giving... sometimes to a fault. She's sure to sacrifice all she has for her babies. I just know it. Lori is the kind of woman that loves with all of her being. She will give everything until she has nothing at all, to take care of the people she loves. She has a warm spirit about her that will be a true blessing to her two bundles of joy coming in June (possibly Gemini Twins???).

I am so completely thrilled that they are having babies the same time we are!! I am really amazed at how things never go as planned and that when they don't, they are usually better. Our boy will have cousins!! His age!!

Our son is due in the middle of April. The twins are due in June. I have heard from many people that twins are usually born early. I would be so shocked and amazed if our kids were born right near each other! Lori is only 8 weeks behind me at this point!!

This is a blessing in our lives. Despite the drama of day-to-day life and recessions and economic turbulence, there is a glimmer of hope. A ray of great light. Our generation is forming a new generation!! It's so great and I'm so blessed to be apart of this upcoming family!! I can't wait to see what 2009 will bring!!
