Patience

I've decided that patience will be the theme of this pregnancy. Nobody ever told me that pregnancy required so much patience...but maybe it is just me since as you know, I'm not a very patient person. My patience really has been tested from waiting two years to get pregnant, waiting till 12 weeks to share our exciting news, waiting in the doctors office, being on bed rest in the hospital for 5 weeks, learning to do things slower and accepting help (putting my shoes and pants on has become a real struggle) and now patiently waiting for these girls to make their appearance. But I must say, I believe everything happens for a reason and maybe God is just preparing me for what is to come because I am sure that A LOT of patience is required in parenting.

In the end, I know that holding my two little girls for the first time will be well worth the wait. I would not change a thing since we prayed for these girls for such a long time and now we are so lucky to begin the journey of parenthood in just a couple of days. In the meantime, I am patiently waiting till that moment comes. Thankfully, there is an end is sight and if the hospital has room for me I will be induced on Friday or Monday. Who would have thought after 7 weeks of bed rest to keep them cookin we would have to force them to come out?

37 weeks and still growing...
