Ever feel like God has called you to do something that doesn’t make sense? Purity in your romantic relationships Going on a missions trip Staying in-state for college to avoid debt Waiting (enough said) Spending time with Jesus with a busy schedule Respecting your parents Refusing to date a man or woman who doesn’t follow…
Twins-in-Progress: Week 15-16
Weeks 15-16 were a blur! I didn’t get a chance to sit down and write an update or take a photo for week 15. Some highlights include babies the size of Oranges (and they feel even bigger in my belly), I bought a birthing ball… which Mr. Darcy hates, and I am now experiencing nose-bleeds,…
Gender Predictions
The time has come! We have 2 weeks before we discover the gender of our twin babies-a-brewin’. How can I stand the wait time? I’ve compiled 10 completely worthless (but still fascinating) gender predictions for our twins: 1. Dry hands test: Dry hands=boy. Soft hands=girl… I have had very dry hands (and feet) so perhaps we…
Twins-in-Progress: Week 14
Week 14 was another breeze! On one hand I am ready for it all to slow down so I can enjoy it! On the other hand, I want to meet these beautiful people in my tummy so bad, it just can’t go fast enough! 14 Weeks: January 26- February 1 How far along? 14 weeks (3…
Twins-in-progress: week 13
Week 13 flew by! We started the spring semester of BCM, enjoyed a weekend in the hot-springs of Thermopolis, and thoroughly relished in the joy of becoming parents! It all went so fast, I forgot to take a bump-progress picture. Oh well, next week is just around the corner! 13 Weeks: January 19-25 How far along?…
Twins-in-progress: week 12

Fear Factor Friday: Statistics just don't apply
These past few weeks, I have been struggling with fear and anxiety about making it full term. I foolishly turned to internet forums of other twin mom’s experiences, which only served to heighten my fears. After much prayer, I bought a pregnancy devotional journal by Catherine Claire Larson. It has helped my perspective so much! I…
Twins-in-progress: week 11
Its another week to update the pregnancy timeline journal. Week 11 was emotionally difficult, but also wonderful. We got to praise Jesus as He took a dear friend of ours home to be with Him. Between her home-going, and this adventure of pregnancy, this week is a beautiful reflection on Ecclesiastes 3: There is a…
Twins-in-progress: week 10
We are still playing catch up with the pregnancy timeline journal. This post is from my 10th week of pregnancy, a week in which Shane and I spent like hermits. The weather was cold, and aside from a few very special visitors, we snuggled up in our warm house and avoided life in general. With…
Our Pregnancy Announcement: Time for S'more Rostys!
As many of you know, s’mores have played a pretty big role in Shane and my life. We built our friendship over a campfire, had a s’more bar at our wedding, and even shared a “unity s’more” during our marriage ceremony. It was only fitting that we use s’mores to announce the big news to…
