BREAKING NEWS

I received word just a little while ago that the babies are going to be delivered on Sunday; I'll be exactly 33 weeks.

I have an ultra sound tomorrow to find out how much they weigh and whether or not I will be able to deliver the "regular" way or if I will have to have a C-section. It all depends on how much they weigh.

I have had the Beta-Methazone shots already to help strengthen the babies' lungs so I'm really hoping they'll be strong enough to breathe on their own.

I'm not ready; I'm completely unprepared; I thought I had almost 2 months left. Life on the outside is a chaotic mess and I'm more stressed out right now then I have been in my entire existence. I feel like a brick wall is falling down all over me. I need a Valium or something.

Emma Faith and Katherine Hope: Date of Birth: January 6, 2008

Hey Mama. Wow, it's here. I've been praying for you constantly. You've been on my mind a ton. We got back in town last night. Would it be ok to come and visit you (by myself) for a few minutes tomorrow? Or what would work best for you?

I'm praying, Kristen - for peace and strength for you, and for health and an uncomplicated delivery for you and the babies. But most of all, that God's will be done.

God bless you all,


Diane

Kristen- my heart is excited and anxious and so tender for you. I cannot imagine your position. Wish I could take some of it to carry for you- word escape me. You are precious and loved, just as those babies are. God is near- I pray you find that crazy indescribable "peace that passes understanding" in these days-

Cheryl said...

Good Morning Kristen,
Oh wow, this is wonderful news. I will be praying that the Ultra-Sound will show that the Babies will be able to breath on their own. I will also pray that you will be able to have them the normal way as well. I don't think we are ever ready for a baby to be born. We just take one day at a time when they are born and let God do the rest. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Hugs,
Karen H.

Dearest Kristen, we're all here praying for you and those precious little babies. Don't worry about the outside world right now, just concentrate on having two healthy babies. All the other stuff will work itself out:-) xoxo

Sweet Kristen
Whenever I feel as though my life is completely out of control I read Psalm 139. God has it all under control. He has written the story of these two precious little girls before they have even drawn one breath. He knew the day they were going to be born. Just lean back into His arms Kristen and let Him give you the peace He has promised. He has a wonderful plan for all of you.
I don't mean to sound like I'm spewing a bunch of platitudes. I am sharing from my heart what God has done for me in the worst moments of my life. He really is all He has promised to be.
I am praying, praying, praying for all of you. All will be well.
