My brother Zac and sister-in-law Joy had their third baby a couple weeks ago-Jackson-so we wanted to come down and meet him in case I am too large to travel back for his baby blessing in December. I'm so glad we did! The Pittsburgh zoo was having a Halloween celebration so we brought the boys' costumes and they had a blast with their cousins getting candy and looking at animals. We were also able to enjoy Sunday with Brigg & Hava up in Erie. Hunter certainly proved that his lungs are completely healthy by throwing some first rate fits this trip.Somehow I forgot to take a picture of Jackson. He is quite the cutie and seems to be a really good baby so far. He hardly cried at all! (I want babies like that, please).
I had a slight panic attack coming home from Erie Sunday night. Even though Jackson is a great baby it was something about being around a newborn that had me realizing what exactly goes into taking care of a baby. These were my thoughts silent and spoken aloud to Jeremy the whole way home...
"What were we THINKING getting pregnant again so fast???"
"I am not in any way ready for another baby let alone TWO new babies!"
"I can't do this"
"Help"
Well, as my brother pointed out, sorry it's too late! I am feeling better now thanks to a lot of prayer and reading and re-reading this scripture over and over and over again.
Matthew 11:28-30

Megan, I love you!!!! You CAN and WILL rock this!!!
Honestly, when I read that you prayed for twins and then it happened, I almost cried. You are so humble and have such great faith! You are such a beautiful example of living the gospel. You are a wonderful mother and really utilize your spiritual gifts when you take care of your little ones.
Its only natural to feel nervous with such a big life changing event on the horizon but you and Jeremy are FANTASTIC parents!!! It might take a little getting used to but you will find your groove and it won't be long before you are an expert and imparting wisdom to others in need of comfort and guidance. You WILL do GREAT!!! The Lord trusts you with this awesome task because you've shown the faith, and you are ready!!!
I LOVE YOU!!! Just remember you have the entire Brookview bunch behind you cheering you on!!! :) Oh, and ps that Halloween picture is really, really CUTE!!!
you can do hard things! thanks for the scriptures - i needed to read that today. i'm having similar feelings of despair (not about twins, though. just about life in general - yesterday was a horrible day). megan, you rock!
Darling picture! Looks like lots of fun!
Love the cute picture of the boys and their cousins! That is so much fun to be able to spend time with family.
I'm sure there have to be a lot of unsure feelings that you're working through right now, but like Heather said, you are truly amazing and are an incredible mother! You will be just what those precious babies need. You already are for your boys. I am so awed by your faith and testimony. Again, like Heather said, the Brookview bunch is behind you!
Thanks for sharing that scripture in Matthew, how much I needed that!
Not that this will help you feel any better, but we have three close together, and we still freak out from time to time. But, none of them are dead.
Your hair is going to fall out and/or turn grey, but I think you'd look very elegant with grey hair.
You could always move to Kansas City. That would be relaxing.
