"Praise the Lord WIth Me, Let Us Exalt His Name Together." Psalm 34:3

Today was incredible! Our visit to the Med Center was long, tiring, and as always, draining. Since Lindsay has been on bedrest, doing anything outside of the house is exhausting for her. Our appnt was at 2PM. We arrived at 1:45 and waited until around 2:45 to be seen. After getting to a room, we waited a bit more for everything to start.
Then we had the same techie take the measurements during the ultrasound. She is great, by the way. After a while of scanning, she entered information into the dreaded computer. (We have never liked the computer because that is when all the "numbers" and "percentages" are given)

Anyway....on with the story...
God continues to blow us away!
We have gone from 24.5% discordance to
6%!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't that amazing!
And the weights are now: Kennedy 3lbs 10 oz and Kaitlyn 3 lbs 6 oz.

Also....we found out today that we are known as the "church twins" lol! Funny, huh?
God is good. Please thank Him with us. We should praise Him no matter what, actually.

Pictures of the babies to be posted soon.

More Pictures

Here we are at 29 weeks. Just over 7 months. Also you can see our new double stroller.

OB Visit, Rest, and Due Date

Today's visit went very well. Again we see God's work in this and how it is ONLY God who has done all of this. We have another appnt with the OB next Thursday and then the following Thursday we see High Risk Doctor again.

Lindsay was officially put on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy. This is the hardest part of the pregnancy because she gets so tired and uncomfortable. She has a LOT going on inside of her and her body is really having to work to grow these babies. So she needs all the rest she can get right now.

Tentatively it looks like we will be delivering in 5-6 weeks which puts us at the week of June 18 or the week of June 25. That will also be when we are 35-36 weeks. And it looks like, as of today, that we would deliver at Sugar Land Methodist. Pretty cool, huh?

So, we could be having these girls enter the world in just a few weeks! WOW!
More to come...

FBBA Shower

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I wish there was a way that we could say thank you like we would like to. It is overwhelming to see how much stuff we needed and actually received. It is even more overwhelming to see the love that was displayed today. Seeing the joy on everyone's faces and with so many people attending and putting their whole heart into today's shower was absolutely amazing and humbling. We are sooooo thankful. Thanks to the High School, Elementary School, and Junior High for all pitching in to make today so awesome! So many people did so many things behind the scenes and we are so appreciative. We love you all and are so blessed to be a part of the FBBA family. Thanks so much! And thank you God for bringing us all together. I will hopefully get some pics to post soon. I didn't bring my camera today. God bless you all!

Baby Shower and Baby Room pictures

UGH! This is my fourth time to post the same info. I have been making little mistakes here and there. SO, here is attempt number 5.

Our FCCC Shower was held at the Davis'. It was awesome! We are so thankful for everything that was done. The blessings were incredible. Susie and Jeri prepared sincere and heartfelt blessings. God has blessed us with a wonderful church family.

I only have a few pictures from my camera. Carolyn and Dar took all the rest but I don't have them. So here are a few. Notice that Jake and I were the only males. I FORCED him to stay with me, and he did for the most part...(except for that HOUR....ahem....I mean 15 minutes for lunch).

Identical Twins?!?!

I don't think many people understand what it is like to go into these High Risk Doctors visits. It is one big guessing game and emotional rollercoaster. Bear with me as I try to paint the picture. We get called from the waiting room to the ultrasound (US) room. Linds lies on the table and they put the gunk on her for the US. Then the techie starts taking measurements of all parts of the babies. This goes on for at least half an hour, posing to be a very uncomfortable feat for the wifey. Lying on her back doesn't last long as it is hard to breathe. She ends up laying on her side for more pictures. The babies, on this visit, are bigger, more crowded, and moving around a lot. It was hard to get good pictures because they are all over each other. We finally got Kennedy's picture (face) but only through the legs of Kaitlyn. It was a funny site. Then the doctor comes in, enters all the measurements into the computer.

During this time, we sit and wait as we hear the whispering of information as it is being typed into the machine. Everything always seems so great until that blasted computer puts out its numbers. THen all of the statistics, percentages, large vocab words are all hurled out leaving us with lots of questions and confused. I like to understand everything but I still need to double check by asking for a repeat in English. All of the looking, wondering, listening, analyzing, takes a toll on you after a while. No complaints....it is just tiring. So...we are tired this evening.

SO.....let's praise God for today's report. God answered exactly what we prayed for. We prayed for Kennedy to slow it down and Kaitlyn to grow more. And it happened. God is so good.

Last time: Kennedy was 2 lbs.
Kaitlyn was 1.5 lbs.

Today: Kennedy 2.5 lbs.
Kaitlyn 2.2 lbs.

They are about even! How great is that? We are so excited! God is good. So, after all of that we went away with some great news. As you can see, things change a LOT each US that we have. But Praise God that we know there is no abnormalities, no Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, no need to induce labor, and Lindsay's health is great.

What a great report!

OH! And by the way.....now they think they are identical. Go figure.
