We have some exciting news in the Cox household!
We are expecting.....TWINS!!!
We have known we were pregnant for a while, but went in for our first check up a couple weeks ago and found out that it is TWINS!!! The shock is starting to wear off, and the excitement is setting in! We are due around the end of September, but are hoping to make it 'til the end of August/beginning of September.
As much as I would have loved to have called each one of you, it just wasn't possible! So, we'll just have to stick with blog-announcement style. :) Kaley and Thomas are excited for the new babies, although Kaley did require some convincing at first. We were ready for a 4th, but will be challenged with a 4th and 5th! I am up for the challenge! I must be crazy because I think it sounds fun!
(For those who are trying to remember how old my kids are....yes - I will have 5 children under the age of 5!)
I must say, that when I told Josh (he didn't come to the appointment with me because I thought it would just be a routine OB visit - hello, this is my 4th!), he was speechless! He literally didn't speak for the rest of the evening! He is doing better now, but is still nervous about the future!
We appreciate all the love and support from family and friends! I am so grateful to be where I am right now at this time of our life! I have wonderful girlfriends around that have already offered to help with anything! These next months and years will be awesome! :)

CONGRATS, Crystal :). I am so excited for the Cox family! Please keep us update!
I can't believe this, and yet, of course I can. But what better family to be equipped for this! You are GREAT parents who will do awesome with this!
Whoa!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!
I would LOVE twins!! I always tell my husband that on my last pregnancy, I want them to be twins. Congrats!! I'm excited for you (and a little jealous at the same time!) :)
WOW!! I am so excited for you! You will be Awesome with 5 kids! If you do need any help I am always willing, plus I do get a little baby hungry even though I can't have anymore :)
oh wow... how exciting! If anyone can do it, it's you! Congratulations!
Holy Cow! That is great! If anyone can do it you can! You are amazing. Let me know if I can do anything to help!
Hey Crystal! Its Jen Smith from the B.C. I've been "blog-stalking" you for a little while. (Lindsey gave me your blog address). I'm so excited for you! Crazy that you're having twins, but I'm sure you'll do great! Congrats! By the way, I love your blog background
YAY! Everything is better in packages of TWO ;) Haha...I know I'm a little biased, but it will be awesome! You are going to be a great Mom of 5.
Bryan just got an email from Josh sharing your exciting news! We are so excited for you guys! Five kids - WOW - how did we get so behind?! ;)
WOW!!! Congratulations! How fun that Great Grandma Putnam is getting LOTS of grandbabies this year :)
Wow!!!! I thought I'd heard you'd announced this at church today. How exciting! My sister in law had twins for her 4 and 5th and had 5 in 5 years, but then they had another only 17 months later to have 6 under 6! So if you need someone to talk top about how to balance it all I'll give you her number :) You'll do GREAT. That must be why you called to be the primary president, the Lord was trying to prepare you for a full house of your own. How fun, I'm even a little jealous! Please let us know if you need anything at all. :) Yay!!!
Holy freaking goodness!! You're so going to have your hands full! How fun and exciting though!! Congrats :)
Wow! Congratulations and good luck. You're already a great mom so this shouldn't be a problem. :)
Oh my goodness Crystal! Good luck with everything. I know you guys will do amazing!
That is amazing!!! Congrats Crystal! I admire your optimism, twins would scare me to death! :)
I feel a little bit like Josh, speechless! I don't think I could do it, you are a better woman than I! You will be great and what lucky kids to get you for a mom. It is a good thing that you have so much family nearby and good friends. You will be great.
WOW WOMAN!!!! You are a super woman!!! Congrats!! Twins will be such an exciting adventure!!! I wish you the best of luck!!! Hope you feel great!
wait... did i read that right? did u say 5 UNDER 5??? :)
Glad you are out of the closet with this...:) You really are the best person I know to be taking on what lies in store for you guys. Dave & I did decide, however, that you are officially off the hook now for inheriting our kids if something were to happen. That would be like twins and triplets!!:) But Dallin is sleeping SO much better- thanks for asking!:) Dave guesses Porter will show up Easter- I think only a week before his due date (I'm at least as big as I was when I delivered Dallin- my belly button is transluscent!) so we'll see. We can't wait to see you guys! XOXO
Congratulations! You are so sneeky, being all nice and asking how I am doing and if I've been sick and having your own secret news...I hope you are feeling well. I can't believe that you were able to keep a secret so long with such talkative and outgoing kids! You guys are awesome and we are super excited for you.
Wow. Congrats! That will be a lot of work, but so much fun too. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
Ms. Putnam! Wowsers! I am so excited for you! Congratulations! You are going to be the best mom of 5! Miss you.
Wowser! Congratulations! Good luck with everything- you'll do great!
WHAT???????!?!?!??!??? Oh my GOSH!! That is so exciting and scary at the same time. Wow. Wow. Wow. Do you know what they are? Boys? Girls? CONGRATS!!!!!
Holy Moly!!! I'm beyond excited for you!!! Congrats again!
Josh and Crystal, That's exciting about the news of having twins! From your favorite Uncle Blair and Aunt Anneli and our two set of twins, We are praying for you. May the lord be with your family in your life changing adventure. We love ya. Blair , Anneli, and Family
That's such wonderful news! Congratulations! You're already a fabulous mom so you'll be wonderful with two more! How are you feeling??!!
Crystal, oh my gosh I can't believe it! It's so funny that you should just post this b/c I've been thinking about you for the past little while, and I've thought, "I wonder if she's pregnant..." I was obviously getting the vibes! Wow!! I must say, I was afraid this baby was going to be twins...I've got to hand it to you. That is honestly such an overwhelming thought for me. But you just seem to take everything in stride, I don't know how you do it! It was fun also to see pics of Haley's baby shower. I also wondered how she was--I thought she'd had her baby by now. When is she due? Tell her hello from me if you see her. Good luck with everything!
That is such fun news! Jonathan and I were just talking about what great parents you and Josh are. Congratulations!
Oh my goodness, that is so exciting! Congratulations, you will do great. Keep us posted, I can't wait to hear what they are. Congrats again!!!
congrats!!!You are so brave and you are making me feel a little ashamed! when we found out we were having 2 under 2, I was not so thrilled! you must be a great mom! good luck with the pregnancy!
That is totally insane!!! Now I am REALLY nervous to get pregnant!!! We wont be trying for at least another year, but you never know how these IUD's are going to work. So far, so good. Congratulations!!!
Wow I am so excited for you Crystal, if any one can do it it's you.
