37

As I erase the "36" on the whiteboard in front of my bed and replace it with "37" today I can't help but shout: Hallelujah.

37 weeks.  We made it.  After a preterm labor scare, lots of bed rest, broken water (baby a's water broke mid-march), and some divine miracle we now have two FULL TERM boys.  Hallelujah.

The Zohntastic twins are now over the 5lb mark, which means baby b will be big enough to have his heart surgery right away, and they shouldn't need any NICU time or have any other problems associated with preemie babies. Hallelujah.

Jeremy and I made it through 7 weeks of spending (almost) every waking hour in a little tiny room together without killing each other.  In fact, it has drawn us even closer.  We now know we are strong enough to get through anything together, even what lies ahead of us.  Hallelujah.

In the next week or so we will have two rambunctious, tough, amazing little boys to teach, to hold, and to love.  Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Amen.

34 weeks and then some

34 weeks, good stuff, not quite to the 5 lb mark our Dr. said was the goal but not too far away at 4.4 and 4.2 and that was as of last week. I visited Children's Hospital yesterday and was really impressed, we've heard they do amazing things there and it shows. We have had some amniotic leakage, it appears to be coming from baby A and are waiting things out, if things continue as they are, and we do get to 36 weeks, we will be looking a induction etc. Just a heads up to quick everyone.
