Day 5 {31 Days of Motherhood}


When I got pregnant with twins I was 19 and a newlywed and all we kept hearing is how miserable life is with twins from other twin parents, but I just couldn't accept that. I knew we had something special. Even though I was being fed so much negativity, I just couldn't believe the miracles inside of me were.


After being on bedrest for 7 weeks (4 of them strict bedrest) my water broke at 36 weeks at 7am on July 23rd.
And they rocked my world in the most beautiful way.

I know you have heard the saying double trouble. I hate that saying. Yes they are double work, but not double trouble.
You will lose sleep, you & others will question your sanity, 
but you will be blessed beyond anything you've ever experienced.

If you are expecting twins and are sick of hearing the horror stories, know you are about to embark on amazing journey.
If you have recently had twins know you can do this. God did not bless you without the capability to mother them.
If you are going through the sleepless toddler years, you will survive. 



It is not always easy.
There will be hard hard hard days.
But on the good days, it's double good. 
And the relationship between twins has got to be something made of pixie dust and coffee.
It's just magical.




If you need encouragement as a twin mommy or mommy to be, I'd love to fill your heart with God's truth and a little mommy wisdom. 

"Lord take our intentions and make us women who are dead set on living & loving as you'd have us to"

If God brings you to a place to mother twins, He won't leave you to do it alone.

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
