Parenthood is just around the corner

37 weeks today! Went in for another ultrasound & pelvic exam. Still no contractions or dilation. Aside from uncomfortable, everything is great! We have a C-section scheduled for April 23rd!! I am so glad to know the end/beginning is in sight. With no signs of labor, I'm pretty sure we can make it. And at this point, we do not want to have them before then because Dr. Z is going on vacation with his family until the 22nd. We really prefer him to be the one to see us through. We are so excited to meet our twins! Just a week & a half left. Thank you, Lord!! You are SO good!

Make it Stop!

Itchy! There is nothing I dislike more than itchy skin. It irritates me to the point of tears, especially when pregnant! Any itch relief creams used on the expanding belly need to be applied frequently in order to make a difference. I'm using Burt's Bees & Pacquin. Any other's work for you, Ladies? Please do share.

New Perspective

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!
