It's been one month since we took Dawn and Rain home, 5 weeks since I delivered them via emergency c-section, 40 months since they were conceived. This week would have been the week they're due had they been normal, full-term babies. But maybe that's just it.. these babies are ...
Week 35: Surprise Delivery (A Birth Story)
Marking this experience in this blog, before it becomes a distant memory. "I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears." ~Psalm 34:4 Whoever said that child birth is such a beautiful experience has set my expectations up too high. In my experience, ...
It Felt Like Christmas Morning
I remember that day we took our babies home. My husband and I sat at the back of the car, carrying Dawn & Rain in our arms like two kids who just received their most precious Christmas gifts. First-time parents, we each held one baby ever so gently, a little unsure if we're ...
Week 33: How Will Two Kids Raise Two Babies?
Husband and I had a fun time opening presents from the baby shower, even though we still haven't figured out how to use half the stuff we got! We have a little less than a month to get the nursery together now (I know, we're crammers like that), but my oh my, exciting times ...
Week 32: Probably The Only Time I’m Giving Pregnancy Tips
And I'm not about to tell you what to eat, what to do when your feet are swollen, or what's the best sleeping position with a huge watermelon-sized tummy. There are gazillions of websites for those tips already (try Baby Center & What to Expect), and surely they know more ...
Week 31: Just One of Those Moments
You, three, keep me going. Thanks for being worth all the cramps, and muscle pains, and long days, and sleepless nights, and everything that comes with this whole nine months. ...
Week 30: Through Good and Bad Days
I've been going through a lot of rough days lately. I wake up and go through the day with all sorts of pain in literally all parts of my body, and I have to endure looong trips from home to work and back each day. Sometimes I can't point exactly where the pain is coming from ...
Week 28: What To Expect When You’re Expecting
It's like, better than horoscope! Not that I read or believe in horoscope—I don't, let me make that one clear. It's just that.. it's cool how this website (and its tiny iPhone app) knows exactly what I'm going through in my pregnancy, sometimes even predicting what's going to ...
Week 27: I Stand With Arms High and Heart Abandoned
This one is for keeps: My little family, all four of us, (my husband and I and the two little worshipers inside of me), leading worship at our church's Cell Leaders' Conference. At 27 weeks. I'll let you in on how it's like to lead worship with a pregnant tummy. It's ...
Canyon Woods Batangas Baby Moon
From our anniversary weekend. Here's more, just because we have tons of them. :) The resort was huge, and we had it all to ourselves! Because the place was so huge (Have I said that yet? Oh yeah.), we had to take a shuttle to go around from our cabin to the clubhouse ...
Week 23: Found the Perfect Maternity Wedding Dress
So we're going to a big wedding this weekend, and last night, I found the perfect dress to wear to the occasion. I love it! It fits me like it was tailored for me and my huge bump! I'm surprised I could still fit in a small-sized dress, by the way, when I weigh about 130 ...
Week 22: When I’m with You, I Feel Old
So I spent one Tuesday afternoon with my girlfriends, and I've had these photographs waiting in my drafts for days, short for words as always. But I was positive that one of my girlfriends would blog about it soon, so I thought I'd wait so I can just link it up. I was ...
