Overflowing Blessings…

It is such a wonderful morning! When I went to bed last night, my babies were still in the 27 week bracket, but this morning they are officially 28 weeks! I am so happy and feel so blessed…God has truly had his hand on us all and has given me strength to make it this […]

Day 13…

My oh my, I have been slacking! Was the last time I posted anything really Sunday? Whoops! The good news is, I haven’t really had anything too exciting to write about :). The girls have been becoming ever so slightly easier to monitor which we are rejoicing about. Now, instead of maybe having them both […]

It was very nice to have some familiar faces, and I can’t complain about people leaving snacks! 🙂 Both visits were so encouraging. After our lovely visitors, some interesting things happened.

Hurray! 25 weeks!

Well, last week we hit the major milestone of 24 weeks, and I probably should have written something about it…so excuse my combining my thoughts from last week and this week. Week 24: It is such an amazing feeling to make it to 24 weeks. At that point, the babies are considered “viable” — doctors […]
