End of a journey...and a new beginning!

(Note: this post is a little late, I started it a while back but never got it posted...)

Well, it's finally official...our boys will be joining us by this Thursday, May 13th! The dr plans to induce us then (we have to be at the hospital at 4 am..ugh!). I am so grateful that this pregnancy has gone so well. With all of the pre-term labor concerns with twins, who would have thought that we would have to be induced at 38 weeks? God has been good to us for sure!

As uncomfortable as I am right now, I am a little sad about the prospect of not being pregnant any more. The feeling of these little guys moving around in my belly is indescribable. I love being able to take them everywhere I go and enjoy having them all to myself :) But I am incredibly excited to meet these little babies that have been growing inside me for so many months and watch them develop and grow. My days of imagining what they will look like and how different their personalities will be are nearly over. We can't wait to meet them!

It continues to amaze me that just a few months ago, these little guys were created from a little piece of each of us and grew from just a few hundred cells the first time we saw them into perfect little people! I don't know how anyone could doubt that the hand of God is at work during this process. I am so grateful that he put us into the hands of doctors that took excellent care of us throughout the process and helped us realize the miracle of having kids of our own after Jim's struggle with cancer many years ago. We are so blessed!
