Week 36 Update!

Today we are 36 weeks, 4 days...alllllllllmost to week 37!!! So close to full-term & so thankful!

Since we first found out we would be adopting twins one of our prayers has been that they would make it to full-term, to where they wouldn't have to spend any time in the NICU.  Well this Saturday marks the 37th week which means that the babes have officially made it to full-term!  We have definitely been blessed throughout this entire process!  The Lord is good!!!

Our appointment yesterday went really good.  The babies are doing great and have grown so much!  It has been really incredible getting to watch them grow each appointment!  We are just beside ourselves with excitement and joy to meet them...and to think it could literally be just a few days!!! :)  The birth mother was not feeling well at all yesterday though.  My heart was hurting so badly for her...she is so miserable at this point, she just does not feel good at all and is extremely uncomfortable.  I wish there was something more we could do to give her some relief but all we can do is be there for her and encourage her through these last few days.  Please say prayers for her that she would get to feeling better and that she would be able to get some relief through these last few days/weeks.

The twins are both still in the transverse position so the doctor said the birth mother is definitely going to have to have a c-section.  Unfortunately he cannot schedule a c-section until week 39 due to the hospital's policies he is affiliated with...if she were to go into labor at this point though he would not stop it.  I really think it will be any day now!  Who knows...we may have turkey babies!!! :)

Our next appointment is this coming Tuesday & we will be at 37 weeks, 3 days.  We are going to take ours and the babies bags on this next appointment just in case the doctor goes ahead & sends us on to the hospital for them to be delivered :)  We will make sure to keep you posted!

Thank you for all of your prayers!

Have a great Friday!

Week 35!!!

We had a great appointment this week!  We have officially made it to 35 weeks!  So thankful that the babes have made it this far and are healthy and doing great!  They are still in the transverse position so as of right now the birth mother is going to have to have a c-section.  The doctor has not set a date yet but we start going to appointments every week now!  Please continue to pray for the birth mother and the babies, that they will continue to be healthy and safe.  Also pray that when the time comes that the delivery will go smoothly and both birth mother and babies are healthy...that the babies are fully developed & healthy and will not have to be in the NICU.

It really could be any day now!  We have our bags packed and the car seats in the car so we are ready to go when we get the call!  Dusty and I are just so excited and cannot wait to become parents to these two precious miracles!

This past weekend some of my best friends hosted a baby shower for us, it was incredible!  We are so blessed to have such amazing friends!  The shower was so much fun and we got some great stuff for the twins!  We are so grateful for all of the love & support that we have received and continue to receive throughout our adoption journey! 

Our next appointment is this coming Tuesday...we'll be at 36 weeks and 2 days!  We'll let you know how the appointment goes!

Hope you have a great rest of the week!
