Oct. 25 Appointment Update - Week 33!

Wanted to send a quick update on our appointment this week! 

We also scheduled to meet with the social worker at the hospital this week, which ended up being a great meeting.  Now we all know where to go and who to contact once we get to the hospital when the birthmother goes into labor.

We found out that, as the adoptive parents, we will have a room on the labor & delivery floor where we will get to stay with the babies!  We were so thankful to hear this!  We will get to spend the first few nights with them...unbelievably excited to hear that we get a room (some hospitals do not provide the adoptive couples a room).  The birthmother also wants us to be in the delivery room so we will get to see them being born!!!  I know that it will be one of the most amazing moments of our lives! I'm praying that we will be able to make it to the hospital in time to be in the delivery room, but the fact that the she has asked and wants us to be in the delivery room with her means more than she will ever know!

We had a little time between our meeting with the social worker and the doctor's appointment so we got to have some girl time!  We went and got pedicures & manicures done :)  so much fun! 

The doctor's appointment went well too!  The babies are healthy and doing great!  They are in the transverse position right now so it is causing the birthmother to be quite uncomfortable but the doctor said that with this being her 33rd week that they typically run out of room when turned that way and will hopefully flip to be side by side within the next week or so.  We are praying that they do so she will not be so uncomfortable.  It was so good getting to see the little ones and hearing that they are healthy and doing so well!  We go back November 8, which will be week 35...after this appointment we begin going every week!  It is getting SO close!

We are so excited and just cannot wait to meet our loves!  It is crazy how much we already love them, I can't imagine the overwhelming feeling of love that is going to come over us when we finally get to meet them!!!

We ask that you would continue to pray for the birthmother and the babies, that they would continue to be healthy and for their safety as well. 

We'll let you know how the November 8 appointment goes!
