"TWO is better than ONE"

So now that the word is out about my best friends pregnancy (Jennifer (Kerkman) Kay), I just have to let everyone know that I am SO excited for her and I have been excited even before she got pregnant! Right away I told her that she was gonna have twins (again before she was even pregnant yet) and even her husband Christian said he would love to have twins and thought she would too. Finally, she started having symptoms and she would tell me about them, many of which I had. I kept telling her that she was definitely pregnant... so when she took the test and it was positive I was SO happy I started jumping up and down.... because I know exactly what she has been through to have this little baby. Worry is a constant for the first few months because miscarriage is most common at that time, so even after a few doctor visits a few scary issues appeared. There was (and still is) constant worry about miscarrying. She has now seen the baby on the ultrasound and felt a little more at ease, but the trials and issues continued. When she finally got to see her doctor again, not even he could tell her exactly what was going on. He told her it was a possible hemmorhage, which is what I had when I was pregnant. For those of you who don't know what it is, a hemmorhage is a blood clot and in women who are pregnant it can cause light to heavy bleeding. So she sent me a picture from the ultrasound to see what I thought of it. Hemmorhages, or at least mine, looked like a bunch of light colored matter, so when I received the picture, I knew right away that it was NOT a hemmorhage. To me, it looked just like ANOTHER baby sac... almost exactly like the one next to it. Again, I told her that I was sure she was having twins! She replied with "I will be happy even if it is just one." Today it was confirmed that she is having twins! :D I am SO SO SO SO EXCITED for her because she, out of SO many women I know, truly DESERVES to be a mommy and her husband deserves to be a daddy! They are a wonderful pair of people and I couldn't be more thrilled for them! And now, after all the trials they have been through, they get not only one little baby, but TWO! So not in every case, but specifically in this one, two is better than one! Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways. :D Whether you know her or not, please keep her and her family in your prayers because this is still a high risk pregnancy. She is an amazing person and I am SO very lucky to know her! :)

A Best Friend

(Other than my husband) I have one of the most amazing friends on earth and I love her to death! She has been there for me when I need her the most and she is such a kind person! :) She has such a sweet spirit and such a positive attitude. It's hard not to be positive when I'm around her. She has done so much for me emotionally and spiritually and I can't thank her enough. Jen you've been such a blessing in my life and I am grateful to know you and have you as my friend!! Love you girl! :)
