It's almost mothers day...WOW and I'm celebrating

Hey Yall-

I know it's been 4 months but that's how old my babies are and they are such a joy. Jeremiah now weighs 14lbs. 2oz. Josiah weighs 15lbs. 5oz. and they are just the best babies in the world, clearly I'm bias.

Jeremiah has such a warm personality, I find him sometimes laughing at himself, he is so happy about life and if he's not moving it's because he's asleep, tired or not feeling good, we call him Slappy cause his hands are always moving or Skerm, cause his just always moving in general.

Josish is more of the serious one. He requires undivided attention to get a laugh out of him but he's happy too and he loves to sit up now...he's a Mama's boy for real and he looks just like I did when I was a baby.

Fred and I are so honored to be their parents and I truly carry them in my spirit everyday...I can't believe that GOD has blessed me this way and this year 2009 I get to celebrate being the mother of 2 angels this Mother's Day.

ONE Month already!

I haven't posted in a while..clearly you all know how busy I've been. Just a few days ago my boys turn a month old already...I can't believe it. They are growing so fast and are the sweetest babies in the world. Truly my heart's greatest gift and my life's greatest joy is wrapped inside the lives of these 2 baby boys. I'll try to keep posting more often as they get older.

Here they are a few days before they officially turned a month but at our first outing with them at church.

OUR Boys are Here!!

Merry Christmas Eve

I just wanted to quickly post a blog to let you all know my babies are here.

Jeremiah Douglas was born December 22nd at 7:29; he weighed 5 lbs and 11 ozs.

Josiah Frederick was born December 22nd at 8:59; he weighed 7 lbs and 4 ozs.

Yes you are reading correctly they are AN HOUR AND A HALF APART BUT LORD KNOWS JUST IN TIME!!


Please keep us all 4 in your prayers as we grow into a family!!

Happy Holidays!

(Jeremiah is telling you all to be quiet so his brother can sleep and Josiah is sleeping peacefully)

My pregnancy week by week

Now I dream in two's!

Here's a poem I wrote about my baby boys and how wonderful my life is blessed because of them already. just wanted to share.

Two mouths, 2 noses, twenty fingers, twenty toes, who could love you like your mommy; only GOD in Heaven knows?

You were such a special surprise for me I never dreamed GOD would send me two angels at one time, but HE’s the one in charge of my life and I’m so glad he follows HIS plan not mine.

Growing on the inside of me two little creature different yet the same, everyday showing your personality and living up to your chosen name.

I am so blessed with this journey of motherhood, a place I’ve never known, but since the day I’ve found about you two more and more into a mother I’ve grown.

I sometimes ask myself if it’s all unreal and I’m living someone else’s joy then I feel one or both of you moving in my tummy and I remember you’re my baby boys.

I promise to do my best to make your lives perfect but I promise that I’ll probably make some mistakes, please forgive me in advance but know your foundation in love won’t break.

You’ll be here before I know it and the reality will begin to set in, always know that mommy will love you two forever and no matter what will be your best friend.

I can’t wait to look into your eyes and hear your voices as you enter this place; I know there will be no greater feeling than see one of each of your tiny face.

I had no clue love could feel this way, it’s so surreal because of both of you, you’ve shown Mommy dreams do come true but now I dream in TWOs.

Twin Angels

So it's been almost a month since I've update you all on the boys. They are doing well, both weighing in at 1 lbs 10 oz. a piece which is a few oz. short of 2 lbs a piece. This is a really good thing because that means they won't come underweight and are growing at the rate that healthy twins should. They are showing their personalities more and more each day. They wake up when it's time to eat and play all throughout the day and mostly sleep at night...mind you I said mostly cause sometimes they want to play football and kick field goals through my ribs at night. Jeremiah is the more active of the 2 and he's always finding new places to push or kick or probe at. Josiah is the calmer of the 2 he let's me know he's alive but only seems to kick or punch with a purpose.



I'm more and more in love with them and have to say that it just makes my heart smile to know that in less than 100 days (98 to be exact if they go full term) I'm going to be the mother of 2 of the most precious babies GOD has every sent to earth. I found this picture in one of the Ann Geddess books and it just makes me think of what my boys will be like...2 little twin angels.

Documenting the Day!

I'm sure we all are reflecting today on what happened 7 years ago on September 11th. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I remember sitting in Cartography class at UNCC and hearing the people in the hall ways talking about what had happened. The professor stopped class and let us leave, by the time I got back to my room the second plane had hit and I remember crying for hours. I will never forget that day and how it caused me to reflect on my life and family. I was all the more grateful that I could contact my loved ones and know they were safe, but I remained mindful throughout the day of those who couldn't. I remember hearing people on campus talk about their family and friends who lived in NYC and DC, I even over heard one girl talking about how she just had a feeling her father was in one of those building that had been hit. Today is a bitter sweet day for me as I reflect on the terrior that happened at the twin towers because today I get to go see my babies again...my TWINS and how wonderful today will be for me knowing they are still growing and doing well.

I just couldn't help but doucument the day and how remarkable life can be when you remember the past, reserve your place in the present and recognize the beauty of the future.

I will NEVER FORGET!
