2 pounds 12 ounces and over 28 weeks along!

One really sweet thing about being considered "high risk" is that I get to have a sonogram done every month! :) This past Monday I had the joy of not just feeling our two little boys moving around in my womb but seeing them once again. Their getting much bigger and it looks like tight quarters in there! The doctor said every thing looks great and their each weighing in at 2pound 12oz. (That's a total weight of 3oz more that Joshua weighed when he was born).

Prayer Request:
Since I had a c-section with Joshua and the "laws" are getting more strict on allowing moms to deliver naturally after having a previous c-section...I've been told by many, including my specialist, that I would not be allowed in any case to have a natural birth. We've been praying about this and I was able to talk to my doctor (who is going to be delivering the babies) this past week and she said that if they are both head down and everything else looks okay (I go into labor on my own, my fluid is good, etc.), she is willing to deliver them naturally. This is an answer to prayer that my doctor is even willing considering most doctors are not. Above all statistics, we serve an awesome, sovereign & powerful Lord. Please pray for the health of our babies, for mine through the delivery and for an easier recovery for me.
Most of all, above all these things, we desire that we would grow closer to our Lord through this time, that He would be glorified, that we would rest in Him no matter what takes place and that others would be drawn to the Savior through our testimony.

We are excited to meet our two new little sons. We rejoice in knowing that when we are weak, He is strong!

I would love to join with you all to pray for a natural birth. What grace already that your doctor is so open to that ~ ah, I am grateful though that the Lord already knows the exact moment and circumstances of your two little boys!!! Love you!
