    1. My dad is a twin. Primrose has been absolutely certain this whole pregnancy that we are having twins, so she is positively gloating. ;)

      I am excited and stunned and thrilled and terrified. :P

    2. "Excited, stunned, thrilled, terrified"-- that's about how I felt when we found out we were having twins! But I can't imagine a better mama for the job!:) God bless you, Sarah! You will enjoy this ride!

  55. God Bless! That is exciting news! If you happen to wonder from time to time, "How am I going to do it all," rest assured. First of all remember that no one "does it all" and secondly take heart in the fact that, with God's grace, you will do all that needs to be done! God sure answers prayers in abundance, doesn't He? You are going to continue to be a GREAT mom! Nothing can change that fact! I know you are thrilled to have more opportunities to share your love! How blessed you all are!

  57. That. Is. Awesome. :) twins run in my family too, and I always have big babies....so when I start carrying big we always go, "Maybe it's twins this time!

  83. Oh, Sarah! I am so happy and a little terrified for you as well! ;-) You've been on my mind and in my prayers for days since I read this exciting news and I was just waiting for a minute to jump down on the big computer to type out a response. I am so glad that Posie will have playmates close in age. How wonderful is that?! God is so good! When I shared your happy news with my 10yo she exclaimed with a big smile on her face, "Oh, that's so exciting! Oh, they are going to be so close - they are going to be the best of buddies!"

    I always thought I would love to have twins, so now I'll get to live vicariously through you. :-) Just think of all the photographic opportunities waiting for you! ;-) I have been praying for you for extra strength and grace. You are going to rock this Mom of Many title! :-)
