Change of Plans

Well, we are no longer planning a homebirth. We are sad about it, but our midwife will not continue our care...for a very good reason.

We are having twins.

That is right. I am not even joking. We just found out today at our ultrasound. We had a resident friend do one for us since we haven't had one yet.

All week, I have been wondering if there were two babies instead of one. I believe my spirit knew what my mind did not--the Lord was preparing me for this great news!



Here they are!!!

Our next step is to find a doctor who won't insist upon a c-section unless absolutely necessary. Thankfully, my midwife is going to be able to be my support during delivery and be my go-between for hospital staff as well as helping support me with breastfeeding them.

We appreciate your prayers!!!

  4. oh my gosh!!!! Talk about having your hands full! I am so grateful that mine came one at a time... primarily b/c of breastfeeding! BUT I know YOU CAN DO IT!!!
    My doc won't insist on a c-section... but I don't know that you want to drive to Little Rock! A friend of mine had twins with him and I know HE wanted her to try for vaginal... she didn't want to though.
