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!
