3/30/10 Briefing:
Twin A - 5 lbs/4 oz. HR - 138 bpm
Twin B - 5 lbs/9 oz. HR - 137 bpm
Mommy - Tired & swollen; thankful & anxious to meet them
Daddy - Working hard; anticipating their arrival

We're all just hangin' in there, trying to make it as far as we can...day by day, week by week. We are very blessed!!

We had our 34 week appointment on the 24th & things are still progressing perfectly. No contractions. I know it may sound a little odd, but I guess part of me was anticipating 34 weeks as some momentous occasion; as one would anticipate a birthday or grand event. "The day has arrived...where's the climax? Isn't something amazing supposed to happen?". Part of me was hoping that the end was in sight. Well, 34 weeks came & went. Of course, I share this feeling with Dr.Z & he understood, but reminded me that the twins will come in God's time. It is difficult to imagine my skin stretching beyond what it already has & being this uncomfortable for who knows how many more weeks. I think I still have a while yet. Perhaps they will be 7 pounders? WOW! Few things comfort me at this stage...sweat pants, Ian's t-shirts, and getting in the pool to float the 3 of us. I spend most of my time in a reclined position. My feet are huge & sore, but I still try to stay mobile for as long as possible. We go in again for an extensive check up on Tuesday the 30th. I'm anxious to see them again!

I know that I am blessed and have a lot to be thankful for!! Pray that I will focus on these things as we near the last few weeks. I praise the Lord for His perfect plan!!

Sold!!

We sold my Pontiac today (19th). I am so thankful, but I will also miss her. She was a really good, reliable vehicle that Ian bought for me 6 months before we were married. We traded it in for a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with 38,000 miles. We will have enough room for the twins & then some. It is also amazing that we will not have a car payment because the Tahoe was previously owned by Ian's parents. We basically swapped vehicles & they will be putting the money from the Pontiac towards their new vehicle. It is just one more way that we feel more prepared for the twins to come. God's provision is so incredible! "Every good and perfect gift is from above..." Jas.1:17a. We are blessed!!
