My favorite night nurse wrote this countdown on my white board in my room tonight; everyone seems really happy and excited for me. I really can't believe their birthday is so soon.
An old neighbor and family friend of ours sent me a book titled, Heart Thoughts A Treasury of Inner Wisdom. (Thank you, Gina!) What perfect timing for me to be reading this. I am in much better spirits since having our official date and am open to believing these positive & healthy ways of thinking. I came across this one the other day and thought how perfectly it suited me. As emotionally exhausting and trying this pregnancy has been, it truly has been such an awakening experience for me. It has been an adventure that I will never forget and is something that I am grateful for everyday. I am so thankful to be pregnant and to be able to build our family.
Today I had an ultrasound and Baby A measured 5lbs 3oz, 34 weeks. Baby B measured 4lbs 10oz, 32 weeks 5 days(which is exactly what I am). It's such a great feeling knowing your babies are breathing and growing properly for their gestational age. The ultrasound tech says when the babies deliver, the measurements are usually about 1/2 lb less. So I'm praying for somewhere around 5lb babies in 10 days. I have to pinch myself - we are so blessed to be at this stage and with healthy babies thus far. My doctor almost seems shocked that we've made is this far. Like I said, we have some seriously protective angels up there, Dal's mom & my gram. Going to sleep tonight thanking them over and over again for always looking over and continually loving our families. So anxious to meet these already very popular girls :) xoxo
How exciting yay!!! Soon, soon.. :)
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled for you , Dall as and the girls. Yes these girls are very protected and loved already. Just imagine how that will increase as we are all able to see them face to face. I am missing Melody especially durng this time of year and this time in your special journey. I can only imagine how much she would he doing for all of you there. She always totally devoted to Lil Dallas . No matter how big he grew. And now he has you and your family to embrace him. I am so happy for all of you there. Of course I could not forget Gramma and Poppy. Bless all of you. I am still praying. Love you all. Aunt Lori.

I am getting up to date on your blog. I cannot read it on my Blackberry; too small printing. I am so proud of you two how you have made this journey. Melody could not be anymore happy than we are. See you both and the girls on Wednesday. Grandma
