shared post: because I've always wanted twins



I always wanted twins. Twin boys to be particular.
In fact, when we were in process for Bates I said we were open to a sibling group and would LOVE twin boys!

In some round about way, I think I may be getting my twins. Sure they are 14 1/2 months apart, but since Bates is such a shrimp, if Brodie is even sorta "normal" size they will be the same size and they sure do look a lot a like.

When we accepted Brodie's referral one of the first things I told Nick was I wanted to dress them alike!

Under the tree this year as the boy's something to wear were these matching pjs!When I went to the big red balloon sale at Gymboree I picked up a few more matching outfits in what I think will be the boys' sizes this summer.

Some fun monkey pjs.
And, matching monkey suit swim suits! I actually got these in three sizes, so they may be around a few summers!!
And lastly, yesterday I got them some matching Big Brother, Little Brother pjs.
How cute will my "twins" be?

I'm preparing myself for "are they twins?" and "are they real brothers?" now.

  2. Hi Mary Leigh! My name is Rachel and I have followed your blog for a while (I found you through the Holt boards). I am so excited that Bates is going to have a little brother so close in age to him! We have a little boy Matthew from South Korea - he just turned two - and we are waiting for his little brother Nathan who is also in South Korea. They are 13 months apart and I am also so excited to have my "twin" boys!!!! I think it is going to be a blast! Nathan is with Eastern so it looks like he won't be home until later next year :( But we can't WAIT to have him home! I hope your wait for Brodie is not long :) And now I have to go to the store and buy some matching pajamas for my boys :)
