So babies aren't here yet...

I know every one was so excited to get to meet these babies, especially Samuel and I, however, it was just not the right time. Things were happening that were out of our control (full moon) so it didn't feel right to induce yet. We decided to give it another week and see if the babies would come on their own. God was in control and we believe that everything happens for a reason. We want healthy babies so it didn't hurt to leave them in the oven a little longer. We will keep you posted as soon as they arrive:)

10 day count down...

Isn't it CRAZY to think that in 10 days or less Samuel and I will be parents to 2 precious blessings? We think it is crazy overwhelming but SO exciting:) We are expecting to be induced Friday, July 15 if the babies don't choose to come sooner. At our Doctors apt. today the babies looked very healthy. Nolan is a chunky monkey (for a twin) weighing in at about 5 lb 10oz and Ralyn was a more petite 5 lb 3oz. Considering we have a little over a week before they arrive, they will be over 6 lbs each. Can you believe that's a total of about 12lbs of baby? Whoa! That must be why my ankles are swelling. Other than the ankles, my only complaint is lack of sleep comfort. I think it is God's way of preparing me for midnight feedings and exhaustion. God has blessed me with an uncomplicated pregnancy and we would appreciate continued prayer for a smooth labor and delivery. I will be sure to take a picture before babies arrive so you all can see the BIG belly.
