Seriously. All around blessings are being thrown at me through the love and kindness of people surrounding me. I may be repeating myself but we have been so overwhelmed with the l-o-v-e.
We have a key to a friend's pool and go whenever we want. The relief of belly weight is heavenly.
A friend has offered to take my boys every Thursday morning when I have my specialist appointment.
The young women of the ward have enthusiastically replied to my plea for help.
Friends have said "call me" I'll do laundry or dishes or clean.
My mother in law comes over weekly and makes me sit in the couch and proceeds to do whatever I tell her. She made me cookies this week at 9pm for crying out loud.
A friend threw me an online baby shower because she lives in another state.
People are handing me gifts at church every week.
My mother(s) and sisters and family are telling me they are ever praying for me and these babies.
And I feel support from family no longer living on the earth.
My Mom told me at the beginning of my pregnancy that when she was expecting my twin sisters she went to her Grandma, my great-grandma and namesake Alice, and said "How on earth do you feed two babies?"
She said Gma looked at her with this pitying, yet loving look and said, "Well, hon, you just do it!"
Man I love that lady and I can't wait to remember her better. We are bosom friends, I just know it. Her phrase goes through my mind and makes me giggle often.
Lately especially, in my time of extreme impatience toward my children (when I yell), as soon as unkind words/Tones come out of my mouth the thought goes through my mind "you shouldn't do that. People are watching you. They're going to leave" I just know we have Angels and family surrounding us here. This quote from Ezra Taft Benson got me this week "The veil is very thin. We are living in eternity. All is as with one day with God. I imagine that to the Lord there is no veil. It is all one great program."
Bam. What an awesome program it is.
These guys are playing better and better together and it's a wonderful thing to watch unfold.
Today my OB measured me. 40 week belly at 30 weeks, 3 days. Bring it on!
These are seriously the only two photos I have taken in approximately 2 weeks.
