After prayerful consideration and time with my Deliverer, I have decided to forgo my mission to try to induce labor prior to 38 weeks. It occurred to me that my motives for doing so were completely selfish. It is so much better for the twins to be within me for as long as possible, so instead of focusing on my own discomfort, I am going to set a new goal...(Buzz Lightyear voice) 38 weeks & beyond!! :)
"The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Ps. 18:2
"The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him." Ps. 28:7
This body is the Lord's. He knows it's limits and He WILL carry me!

Great Report!
We saw Dr. Z again today. He checked me out & continues to be astonished that we've made it full term!!! I am not dilated at all and am still without contractions. It was amazing to see the twins profiles & little mouths moving. Baby A's heart rate - 131 bpm; Baby B's heart rate - 135 bpm. They are getting so big & strong. I feel every kick, punch & roll. It feels like they're planning on exiting right out through the skin! Right now, I am researching ways to induce labor. Doc will take them c-section around 38 weeks, but I want to see if I can help the process along. Tonight I did a couple jumping jacks, lunges & squats. I have yet to feel any progress from doing so.
One thing's for sure, these 2 are definitely taking after their Father because they won't budge. They're proving that they are nice & comfy with their surroundings...a little too comfy perhaps :)
We are very glad that the Lord is in control of the whole situation and knows exactly what the 4 of us need in His perfect timing! We are also very excited to see our babies soon!!
