Showers of Blessing!

My dear friends, Anna, Amanda, and Christine, threw an amazing baby shower for the twins & I on Saturday! You wouldn't believe all the diapers!! My honored guests were my Momma from Nevada, my Grandmother from California, my Sister-in-law from Oregon, and my Mother-in-law from St.Louis! I am so overwhelmed by the amount of love bestowed upon us! There are no perfect words to describe my gratitude, but I did the best I could in composing this poem, in hopes that you would know a fraction of my thanks. This is to all the gracious people involved in my life. Thank you so much for your continued prayer & support!

The Arms of my Angels

- Excitement within, don't know where to begin
I run back to the arms of my Angels
- Enjoying each moment, but scared by the task I'm sent
I run back to the arms of my Angels
- Emotions are flying and I feel like crying
I run back to the arms of my Angels
- Motherhood looming and body parts blooming
I run back to the arms of my Angels
- Chores overflowing and Twins keep on growing
I run back to the arms of my Angels
- Needing assistance with my sleepless infants
I run back to the arms of my Angels
- Oh who could they be that watch over me and shower me with so much love?
- Such women of Grace that are quick to embrace; I run back to your arms, My Dear Angels

Twin update

Ian and I saw our twins yesterday! They're weighing in at 2.5 lbs each. Baby A's heartrate is 151 bpm & Baby B's is 148 bpm. Doc is happy with the way things are going. He thinks they'll be here end of March/early April and wants to see us every 2 weeks from now on. We have less than 10 weeks left. It's amazing how fast this has gone by. I'm loving every minute!

I would appreciate your prayers over a couple of things. I caught a head cold and it's incredibly inconvenient because my Mom & Grandma are coming in to town tomorrow for my baby shower on Saturday. My other request is over a glucose (for diabetes) test I have to take on Tuesday. I didn't pass the first one, so I have to go take the 3 hour one Tuesday morning. Not looking forward to it. Thank you!!
