Appointment Update

Hi there!

Sorry I am just now getting to post an update about our appointment this past Tuesday...it has been a busy week to say the least.

The appointment went really well!  Both birthmother and twins are healthy and doing great!  We got to see our little guy sucking his thumb this time :)  The birthmother said that he is super active and kicks and punches her all the time!  Our little girl appears at the time to be more of the quite type...maybe it's because her brother is taking up most of the space so she doesn't have much room to work with :)  All in all the doctor said they were doing great and everything is right on track!  Now we begin going every other week, so our next appointment is October 4! 

I cannot believe that we are in week 29!  The time is going by so quickly and now especially since we have appointments every other week I have a feeling it is going to fly by even faster! 

Dustin and I did a lot this weekend around the house that we have wanted to get done before the little ones arrival so it was a good feeling to get some things checked off of the to do list!  With each week that passes we just grow more and more excited about getting to meet them! 

We do have one prayer request for the week...please say prayers for the birthmother as she was not feeling well this weekend.  Please pray that she will have a quick and speedy recovery & that she will get to feeling better soon.

We also ask that you would continue to pray for the birthmother and babies health & safety.  As we approach the end of the pregnancy that they would make it full-term to where they do not have to stay anytime in the NICU.  That they are both born healthy and ready to come home!  Thank you so much for all of your prayers!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Appointment Rescheduled

Hi!

We were supposed to have our appointment today but due to the doctor having a family emergency the appointment had to be rescheduled to next Tuesday :(  We were bummed because we were so excited about getting to see the birth mother and how much the little ones had grown and now we have to wait another week to see them.  Well, at least she will be further along next week and hopefully we will get an even better look at how the twins are doing :)

As of this week it is the start of her 3rd trimester!  Praise the Lord!  Now we can breath a little easier: otherwise healthy babies born this week have a 90% chance of survival with no lasting physical or neurological impairment.  We continue to pray that they will make it until week 37, which is when they will be considered full-term and should at that point not have to spend any time in the NICU, Lord willing.

Can't wait to see them next week! 

I will make sure to post how the appointment goes after our appointment next Tuesday :)

This is for me right????

So the other night we heard a rustling in the nursery & realized that the pups had suddenly disappeared?  We walk in the nursery and this is what we walked in to see....lol!!!


Penny looked at us like, "This is for me right?!"  Dusty and I just looked at each other and cracked up laughing!!!  Granted this is from a dog that has not wanted to step foot in the nursery since we have been working on it and now all of a sudden she is sitting in the babies' bouncy seat?!  Too funny!  I think she is definitely warming up to it!
Wrigs, from the get go, has seemed to adjust quite well...he frequents the nursery and sniffs everything out :)  He is the nosey one though! lol! 

Our Sept. 13 apppointment is quickly approaching so I will make sure to post an update on how the appointment goes.  Hopefully we will get better pics of the little ones this time around!
