Miracles Coming Very Soon...July 23rd at noon!


"Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were an hour old I would give my life for you
This is the miracle of life"Maureen Hawkins

I have held on to this quote for years now, dreaming of the day when I would actually be holding my little one at only an hour old. I am truly standing amazed that this moment is about to happen and that I am going to be a mom to two very special little boys.

My last appointment with my OB/GYN prior to my c-section was last Thursday. When I was about to leave, she told me that Dr. Crochet, her office partner that delivered my triplets, asked to assist during the c-section. She said we all needed to experience these little ones coming into the world together. Everyone has worked hard to make sure that I have healthy babies and now are ready to celebrate such an accomplishment. The office staff and nurses all told me that they would come over to Baylor Hospital to meet the boys!

Tomorrow, July 22nd, I am going to go to my Fetal Care Specialist Office for the last time as a patient. Dr. Magee asked me to be a part of a photo shoot celebrating his practice being awarded a VERY significant amount of money to further expand services for high risk pregnancies. I think he chose me because I am probably the MOST pregnant woman he could think of. The photographer is going to take picture of Dr. Magee looking at the boys on the sonogram with Karry looking on! The pictures will be published to help to announce the donation of money for the practice. He told me last Thursday that his office would have an "emergency" at the hospital on Thurs so they could come and meet my sweet little guys!

I think that I am nesting! I have washed everything I have owned, packed for me and the boys and keep thinking over and over about things left to do! There is only one day that we have left in our home without the boys!

I guess it is normal, but I feel so many things right now. I am anxious about the birth, still praying that they are perfect in every way. I want to leave the hospital with both boys healthy and thriving. I pray every day that I will have wisdom even at the very beginning of establishing a happy life for them focusing of growing them up as men of faith. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who want to be such a big part of the boys' lives!

Thank you to the many people that have prayed for these little boys. I know that this outcome is a product of those prayers and faith.

The next post should come with pictures of the cutest little boys ! Between my mother, family and friends it sounds as though there will be a hand full of cameras represented.

I will be dreaming of Thursday and looking forward to the magical moments!

  2. What a great post! It is certainly hard to write down in black and white all that is on your heart, but I think you have captured so many of the emotions that all of us mommies feel in anticipation of having our little ones. I too am trying to think of a reason to escape the fire station tomorrow and head south. I hope you have a restful day today - it will certainly be the last one for a bit. Still praying -

    Love - Holly
