*posting this on the day i am 34 weeks pregnant. Surely we have several more weeks to go but you never know so I wanted to go ahead and post so I won't forget!
To my sweet Graham and Thomas,
Where oh where do I even begin? To say y’all were the surprise of a lifetime is an understatement. Never in my life did I ever think about/dream of having twins. It NEVER crossed my mind. BUT, with that being said….it didn’t take your daddy and me long to come around to the idea and fall in LOVE with you two. Although the thought of twins has caused quite a bit of anxiety and worry (over things you two won’t have to think about for quite some time….like finances and balancing life with three kiddos) it has caused even more love, excitement and absolute pure joy. Once we got over the initial shock of being told we were having twins…your daddy and I would stay up late talking or randomly just look at each other with amazement over the fact that God was blessing us with twins. TWINS. It was so surreal.
And let’s just say the very MOMENT we found out you were both boys, it was like we just KNEW God had completed our little family. It felt like it should have been that way the whole time. Built in best friends and playmates for life? Your daddy was ecstatic as he and Uncle Trey are only a year apart and he always hoped for two little boys to share the same fun, adventure, and craziness that they had. (Mama’s a little weary of the craziness to come, but we know it will be fun!)
Your big sister is going to love you two like crazy, she’ll probably drive you crazy too over the years…but I’m sure not as much as you boys will annoy her.J Such is life with siblings! Collins loves babies and we hope and pray that she feels that same love for her brothers…she’s not really old enough yet to fully understand what’s about to happen, but there isn’t a doubt in my mind that she will love and protect you two until y’all are old and big enough to be the ones doing the protecting of her. I pray that the three of you will always love each other, always have each other’s backs and always look out for each other.
My prayer for each of you is that you grow up to be independent, kind, caring, loving, Christian men. I pray that you will be each other’s best friend, but that you will also grow on your own and have the courage to do what YOU want to do. I pray that your dad and I are able to help fulfill your dreams and also that we do a good job of not treating you two as one individual unit, as this is one of our biggest fears. I pray that you EACH feel loved and special at all times, you are both already loved so much I hope I can continue to foster that love with both of you over the years.
We know our life is about to get turned upside down, but we are ready for y’all! We love you boys to the moon and back and cannot wait for you two to complete our family.
Xoxo,
Mama
