Booties of hope

IMG_2006

It’s no secret, that I secretly want twin girls…BAD. I know that I can’t get my hopes up and that it may or may not happen. Although studies show that 3 in 100 births are twins, that’s not bad, right? I have been reading a lot about “chances” and studies about twins and such. Obviously this is out of my control, but I have always loved twins. My mom’s brothers are twins, My cousin has twins and I want them! I even have the sweetest names for twin girls!

I was at the mall this week looking around when I wandered into BabyGap. There are lots of bday’s coming up so I was stocking up on gifts when out of the corner of my eye I spotted these darling brown booties! They were on sale…at first I couldn’t believe my eyes, they were originally $16…and upon further review, they were were on sale for .97 CENTS! I would have been silly to pass these up! So I found two matching pairs and giddly brought them up to the register.

You may be thinking that I am crazy, or too excited about something that might not happen. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll find someone that has twins b/c these are so cute! I call them my booties of hope b/c it gets me excited and increases my desire for a baby, twins or not. It’s hope for me to realize it’s time to take my health seriously and do what the doctor tells me to do to prepare myself for hoping to having a baby sometime within the next couple of years. I have been talking about this a lot lately in my mind and with James. He’s a good one to always humor me! I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us, (hopefully including twin girls!) whether it turns out the way I want it to, it’s ok b/c I know the plan is right way to go. I look forward to the day to being a mom and feeling that bursting love for a newborn baby. I also know the importance of realistic expectations and to not get my hopes up too high. But for now, armed with my .97 cent booties, I am filled with lost of hope for a great year!

Ok so you should start taking fertility medication, it ups your odds for twins, really it does! :) Anyways I think you are hilarious, I bought a blessing dress for a baby girl in highschool, yeah pretty crazy, thank goodness I didnt become a teenage mommy right? Anyways I will “hope” with you for twin girls! You will be the best mom, and I am excited to see what they wear!
