is anything too hard?

for those of you who do not what what has been going on with us over the last couple of weeks, read here

we had another appointment on monday and unfortunately, the fluid around each baby did not equal out like we had hoped.  one baby still has too much fluid around her and the other has too little.  therefore, we are heading to houston on wednesday.  our appointment for wednesday is to get a comprehensive evaluation and make sure and the girls and i are ready for surgery.  the surgery, or laser procedure, will take place thursday morning and will last about 1 1/2 hours.  they will go into the placenta and laser some of the blood vessels that are causing this problem.  i will stay the night in the hospital and we will be home either friday night or saturday morning. 

this is obviously a little overwhelming.  

when we found out that we were having twins, i was overwhelmed with the idea of feeding two babies at once, at needing a new car, at not sleeping through the night for a year, at our budget, at the stress and tiredness that i would feel.  

and now all of that has shifted.  
i want sleepless nights.
i want the stress of feeding two babies at once.  
i want tantrums and fits and whining.
i am desperate for the crying and wailing. 
i long for the struggles of potty training and picky eaters.
i couldn't ever imagine having twins and now i can't imagine my life without them.

a sweet friend sent me an email this morning claiming this verse for our family this week:
 JEREMIAH 32:27 "I AM THE LORD, GOD OF ALL MANKIND--IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME?"

god is so in control of this situation.  there is nothing too hard for him, which is so encouraging because this is way too hard for me.
thank you for your prayers for these sweet, precious girls.
