Homestretch

I love keeping up our family blog, mostly because I love sharing photos and writing about what life is like for our family. But lately I'm finding that it is also a very practical way to get out information to a lot of people when, say, we're having twins and there are people who want updates! So, here is that latest: we are definitely in the homestretch! This morning my doctor scheduled me for a c-section this Thursday morning at 7:45am. Apparently the twins did not get the memo that they are allowed (expected!?) to come early since there are 2 of them! I will be exactly 39 weeks that day, which is the soonest the law will allow the doctor to schedule it since neither the babies nor I have any known health issues or risk factors at this point. But, I'll be honest and let you know that you may want to check the blog before that because I'm not sure I'm going to make it to Thursday. I'm almost halfway dilated at this point--crazy how different this time around has been than with Corinne! Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. Nothing about this has been even remotely the same. God's way of keeping me in check and relying on Him, no doubt. And that's as up to date as I can get you right now. Aunt Marcey may do some remote updates/posts for us on the blog in our absence. My mom is moving in when we head to the hospital and planning to stay for a while. Bags are packed, the car is partially loaded, and we are praying for a smooth and safe delivery of our little girls, as well as a great transition for Little C! Thanks for joining us in prayer all of these months. It won't be long!
