Past Halfway

Last week I hit the half way mark. Wha-hoo! Actually, I am having a hard time feeling that excited about it because I feel like I should be way farther than just halfway.

I know I promised to keep you updated on baby stuff on this blog, I'm finding that a little hard to do. When I talk about one baby I can be happy and jovial, but I have a hard time pretending that there is just one baby, because there is not just one baby there are two. Talking about two babies sucks the happy and jovial right out of me.

So, I'll tell you what I can in the bestest most cheeriest way I can, because I don't want to be sad right now.

We have names....

You all know we are having a girl...but some of you may not know we are also having a boy. Don't get excited. Our son is still on the "layaway" plan, but nevertheless he is still part of our family, we just have to wait until we get to be with him. How do I know he's a boy? Because Heavenly Father and I are pals, He is a merciful God, and He tells me things I need to know. That's how.

Our little girl's name will be....Aftyn Elizabeth Roberts.

Our son's name is....Zachary Thomas Kenneth Roberts.

Zachary means - The Lord Remembers
Thomas means - Twin
Kenneth - is of course his father's name

To me he is my little twin, remembered by God. Ken refers to him a his little Kenny.

Things are going fine with Aftyn. She is growing and squirming and kicking like crazy. I am feeling much better physically. MUCH BETTER! Emotionally we are mostly good, we still have our moments when the pain feels like a knife in our chest. Usually for me a good cry and a good heart-to-heart with my Father in Heaven puts me back on track. Ken is more quiet in his grieving but this has been just as hard on him. In some ways maybe harder because he is a man and expected to be okay.

Here is a 20 week prego pic. As you can see we are both steadily gaining the poundage.
