"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3

So it's time to finally share what the Lord has been doing in our lives the past couple of weeks. We are indeed expecting! Over the past two months, the Lord has totally blown us away with the miracles He has created and the ways in which He has revealed Himself to us. We are so grateful and give Him all the glory!


I am currently six weeks along and today we had our first ultrasound. Are you ready for this???

It's TWINS!

We got to see each of our little wonders and their heartbeats, and, as you can imagine, I left the doctor's office both glowing and teary. 

When you think of us and our long road, the trials we have faced, and the Lord' s provision, please give thanks to God! He deserves all the glory, all the praise!

    i'm a friend of a friend and I started reading your blog occasionally through hers. I cannot tell you how many times I have prayed for you to become a mother. I know that the two most incredible babies have chosen to have you and your husband as their parents. From the bottom of my heart- congratulations!!

    Ronda! You might not remember me, but I was in the Community Bible Church youth group when you were an intern there (I used to be Stephanie Ballard).

    I was just reading my buddy Jen's blog about having more neices and nearly fell out of my chair when I realized YOU are the sister-in-law having twin babies!

    Congratulations! What a blessing! You must be wild with excitement!

    I'm so glad I found you! What a small world! :)

    Rondie....My sweet sister. I know I do not need to leave you a comment as I talk to you all the time, but I just want to tell you that 11:07AM on July 22nd 2008 is truly one of the happiest moments in my life! When you called and told me that you saw both heartbeats of my niece(s) and/or nephew(s), I felt an emotion that I have never felt before. I am SO PROUD of you for staying so very strong; even through all the heart-breakers. I never lost faith that God was going to give you this desire of your heart and he does deserve all the glory! Please give Uncle Chase a big hug from Rheace, Kyle and I and please ask him to hug you back from us. I love you my one and only!

    Post Script: When I told Rheace you were pregnant he just laughed and said "I KNEW IT!" =)

    Ronda,
    Words can't describe how EXCITED we are for you and Chase! Not only is God faithful and good, but He's mind blowingly amazing...TWINS! How FUN is that! Now that's a "double portion"! You are going to make the best mommy because you will know without a doubt that your kiddos are a gift directly from Him to your heart! I love you so much!

    Ronda,

    I'm glad that you're now feeling Much better. I had already made all the appropriate contacts and potential arrangements here at UTHSCSA in case you needed another specialist. Knowing the Chair of OB/GYN does have an advantage.

    Our paths again parallel, in a very small way this time, as they both deal with children (again). You are writing a new chapter in the parenting of children and my new assignment in helping to Cure Childhood Cancer. I'm being transferred next week to the Children’s Cancer Research Institute with the specific task of putting together the infrastructure to accomplish this mission. While they are different assignments, hopefully the end result will be similar; providing children a better quality of life.

    However, I'm glad that you're doing well and if you have any questions please let me know, because I know there would be someone here that would be able to assist.
