I feel so THIN!

Yesterday I ran into the library with 5 kids and books that were due, I somehow managed to get out of there with books only for me. I kid you not, highly unusual behavior.

As I looked at the big girl section books (also highly unusual), my eyes spotted- 'When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets or Quads.' (a pregnancy book) I saw it nestled between the other books on the shelf and the word TWINS caught my eye. I remember what the Holy Spirit had asked me to ask Him. I felt the nudge to bring the book home.

As all my kids were in bed-my Knight and I sat and read. I shuffled through this book, to see if there was anything I needed to know about this 'pregnancy' of mine. Fits of laughter and me spouting bits of multiple pregnancy knowledge to my Knight was what you would have heard.

Joy unspeakable joy-God is preparing me.

Come to find out, the normal weight gain for twins is 40-56 lbs. whehhh! As a girl who has had infertility and only one pregnancy where I gained all of 15 lbs (due to my heart condition)...I am feeling very thin today, well for an adoptive mom who is pregnant with ...well that remains to be seen.

A slew of recipes resides in the appendix of the book...titled, 'Best Recipes for Moms-to-Be of Multiples.' Let me share one...perhaps the Holy Spirit has you pregnant with something He is creating for your life. We need to take care of the spiritual as well as our physical bodies...so here goes:

Yogurt Guacamole-serves 6

3 ripe avocados (1 1/2 lbs)

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

2 cloves garlic, chopped fine

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (YUM)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt

6 pita breads, split

2 tablespoons medium-hot salsa (HOOK a sister UP!)

In a large bowl, mash the avocados. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the pita bread. Serve on warm pita.
