Countdown, Day 27: Tomorrow!!
This has been a quietish weekend. We've both been reflecting on the fact that our years as a couple (at least a couple by ourselves!) will soon be exchanged for our time as a foursome.
After church, we took a nap and then looked at our Chronicles. Beginning when we first started dating, Tim has kept a meticulous journal of the fun things that we've done together. After we got married, I joined him in chronicling our life together. A lot of times, my blog entries end up copied right into the journal. He "publishes" them every six months--we're on volume 9 at this point, going on four and a half years of friendship, couplehood and married life!
The journals have gone through several transformations--now Tim jokes that they're like photo albums with extensive (!!!!) captions.
We looked back at our first days as a married couple (volume 4), and then jumped to volume 8 to read about when we first found out that we were having a baby, and then to the day when we found out about twins. And through the changes in our lives--job, location, etc.--that have taken place since then.
And we both realized how amazingly blessed we've been. Twists and turns have happened in our lives that we never planned, yet God has brought about so many unexpected blessings.
To wrap this up--we're going in tomorrow morning at 6 AM. We'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers over the day--for a quick, safe delivery, for wisdom for the doctor, that the babies would be healthy, that they would line up and come out in turn (please, no Jacob and Esau behaviors!!), and that the induction wouldn't lead to a c-section.
Hopefully, we'll have pictures soon. Can't wait to meet our babies!!!!!

I can't wait for their arrival. Good times are ahead for you and your family. I'm blessed to be able to come along in your journey! I can't fully articulate what a blessing you and Tim are to me.
