On Monday, at 6am, I will go to the hospital to have our babies. Yes, I am being induced. No, I am not super happy about this. I would LOOOVE to just let things happen naturally, but my doctor informed me, I could probably carry to 40 weeks plus, and with twins, I do not feel comfortable doing so. Not only is my body maxed out with seemingly permanent damage, but there are many risks for carrying twins so long as well. I feel strongly that by 38 weeks and 3 days, the twins will be strong and healthy. That is what I'm praying. Again, the decisions mothers are faced with make me want to literally throw up.
Since when did I have so much responsibility?
Since when did I have so much responsibility?
We had a fabulous day with Treyson. He was so good and ran a million errands with my mom/sis and me. We took him to see TANGLED and gave him way too many french fries and ice cream. What a skinny little, sweet boy. I look at him and really can't imagine what any other child will look like or be like besides like HIM. The idea is baffling to me, but all will soon be clear. I still feel horrible guilt for changing his world so much, but I know it's all in our Father's plan for us and as a result, ALL will be well.
We're excited. I'm terrified. Treyson is clueless. My mom and dad and sister are here and I'm grateful. Trevor went out of town today and I didn't go into labor. prayer answered. I'm glad tomorrow is Sunday. A day of rest and a day with our little family.
Did I mention I'm terrified? I have no idea what to expect. Flashes of the pain from Trey's birth are coming back to me. Babies having something wrong. Me having something go wrong. CSections (babies are currently head down, but you never know w/twinners). That THROBBING penicillin going into my vein thanks to group B.
BUT, then I think about the joy that comes from just ONE baby. How lucky are we to have TWO at once??? And then, to have Treyson come and meet his sisters - the girls he will protect his whole life. I think I'll take all 4 of them (Trevor too!) and keep them in my hospital bed forever.
Asking our dear friends and family to pray things go smoothly for us.
And that I don't chicken out and run for the hills.
Just a few thoughts.
Stay tuned.......

I LOVE YOU!!! YOU WILL BE AWESOME!! I'll Pray for you. Wish you were coming this weekend!! xoxo
We'll be praying for you! I am so excited to see these girls!
I know it's heart breaking to think of how it can be changing Treyson's life. I felt EXTREME guilt. But when I look at the past 6 months I can see how much she loves her brother and how much he loves her. I don't even know if she remembers life without him. Which kind of makes me sad, but I would feel bad for her to not have a sibling. Just like I love to watch James with our kids and seeing how they interact and love each other, I LOVE seeing Matthew and Bailey together. It's really amazing. I don't know if I am making any sense.
Good luck tomorrow!
I'll definately be thinking about you today! Can't wait to see pictures of those girls. Congrats on the eviction notice!!!
I am so excited for you! I love all the wonderful things that are in store for your family! You'll do great, and we'll be thinking about you.
