Twins!

Just 17 weeks ago our lives changed in many ways. I was accepted into my dream graduate program and we found out we were expecting! Then just 6 weeks after finding out we were pregnant we found out we were expecting twins! Now just last week we learned the sex of the babies. One boy and One girl! I can't describe how amazingly blessed we feel. Katelyn (Roo) is beyond excited about being a big sister and asks everyday when the babies will be here. She said this morning that she had a dream the babies were already here and she loved giving them kisses! I hope to keep up with the blog and do a series about my pregnancy. I'm sad it's taken me 17 weeks to get going on this but I guess it's better late than never!

Summer

I can't believe Katelyn is 15 days away from finishing kindergarten! She's growing so fast it makes me sad, but happy at the same time. She's blossomed into such a sweet girl. Gone are her chubby cheeks and little round face, now when I look at her I see a little girl, not my sweet toddler. She's such a kind sweet child, always wanting to help, picking me roses out of the back yard, offering me snacks and drinks, she really tries to go out of her way to make you feel special (isn't that my job, lol) She's wise beyond her years I think, sometimes I truly feel she's an old soul in a child's body. She has been taking drama classes throughout the school year and her final play is the 24th of this month. I'm so excited to see her on stage, she's playing Tilly the baby ant and I'm sure she'll knock it out of the park. I keep asking her if she's nervous or if she thinks she'll forget her lines, her response "no mom I've got this, you'll see." Next year will be quite interesting, she's starting 1st grade, I'm starting graduate school and hubby will be 7 classes away from graduating with his BS. Since he'll be finished before me I'm not sure how things will play out considering medical school is the next big chapter in our lives.
