Truly Blessed

I have reached 37 weeks and the doctor decided that tomorrow is the day! I go in at 11 for a C-Section. God has truly blessed me in so many ways. I prayed for years that I would find a Godly husband, and Matt and I both decided to go to FC at the last moment where we fell in love. Matt and I prayed and tried for a baby, and now God has blessed us with TWO babies. As I look forward to tomorrow, I am amazed at how God has perfect timing.

Matt and I have spent this last week looking back at pictures and can't believe we are going to add 2 sons to our family. Matt is the love of my life and he has done an amazing job taking care of me these past weeks. I could not have done it without him. He is going to be an excellent Daddy and wonderful example to our boys. He is a Godly man and I'm so glad Shepherd and Spencer will have him to look up too! I thank Matt for 5 1/2 amazing years as a couple, and as tomorrow begins we will double our family to 4 and start a new adventure.

Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow!

Coming soon...Shepherd Mark and Spencer Matthew

36 WEEKS

We reached 36 weeks yesterday and it came with a punch! I woke up thinking "This is it". I could barely walk due to the immense pressure. I automatically got in the bath tub to get some relief...and there was none. For the next couple of hours there was nothing I could do to feel better. We talked to the on call doctor and unless I was having regular contractions he said to just stay in bed. He said since I was 36 weeks with twins, the boys are getting big so there wasn't much we could do to make me more comfortable. So, for the past 2 days I have not left my bedroom except twice to try and eat with Matt and his mom who is visiting. I had to hurry and eat because sitting up was NO FUN! I am not having contractions if I stay in the bed, but the pressure is still here. If they go away, it means they aren't doing anything. =(

TUESDAY, TUESDAY, TUESDAY- I go for an ultrasound and HOPEFULLY we will talk about inducing in the next week. We are hoping for Saturday, Jan 9 because my doctor is on call and I will be 37 weeks. Won't it be wonderful if they come and are not considered preemies!?!? I can't wait to see their faces, and now we are so anxious to see how much they will weigh! I feel so blessed to have been able to carry them this far,but I continue to pray for their health daily!

Time is getting very near! Maybe the next post will be hospital pictures!
