Why was I blessed with twins?

I am a member of an online group of Mormon moms of multiples on Facebook where there are thousands of MMOMs (as they call it) and we share experiences, tips, etc. It's been an awesome resource to me to have so many experienced moms within close and easy reach if I have questions, and to learn from what others shared. Today one of the moms on there asked us to share why we think we were blessed with twins. After I wrote my response I thought I should included it in journals :). Here it is:

I'm not sure why I was blessed with twins, but I definitely feel I was meant to have them. Leading up to my pregnancy I had a feeling I was going to have twins for awhile so when I found out I was pregnant with them, although I was surprised, it wasn't a huge shock because I was almost expecting it. There have definitely been hard stages (bedrest pregnancy and newborn stage were challenging!) but I have still enjoyed them in the busiest of times. Even with all craziness that is now with toddler twins I'm so grateful everyday for them! They are such good babies and make it easy to love. They have truly made our family complete and have brought us so much peace and joy. We love our twins!

Friendly girl!

I was loading groceries and Asher into the car and turned around to see Avery waving and saying "hi!" to every car passing by. I watched for a minute and it was so cute to see how excited she got when people would smile and wave back! Such a fun age! She's such a sweet, friendly girl!
