Our Progress

For those of you who have been gifted with the great gift of TWINS you know the constant monitoring and checking of these babies that takes place during the pregnancy. there are constant sonograms, checkups, and just another handful of "procedures “that you must undergo when having twins. I thought I would take a chance and brag on God and how Gracious He has been to us throughout this process. We had no idea when we started this journey that Twins would be considered such an "extreme" risk. Especially when I have read and been told of twins so early in the Bible with Jacob and Esau. So, for my wife and I, twins are a natural "normal" part of life, well kinda. (Maybe natural is a better word to describe it) Anyway, the journey began with us of course hearing all the wrongs that could go on with a twin pregnancy, a complete rain storm on an already heavy day when we just found out. The Journey has been everything but a rainy day. For the past 36 weeks we have had nothing but complete and utter BLESSINGS, from the Lord. He has been overly gracious and wonderful to us. Sometimes I feel like I am something special because of how greatly blessed I am. And then I realize I am because I am one of HIS. We have been told numerous times over and over, as if it is the Law of Doctor that they must warn you and fill your head full of the "what if's" and the "worst case scenario". Well, as I described to our Doctor during our Last visit, my wife and I travel a road in life that is sunny 75 degrees, perfect, beautiful day. I don’t worry or travel down the roads of "what if's" that is in the Drivers hands and I am not the Driver, HE is. Therefore, we don’t concern ourselves with the worst case scenario, because God has told us He will never take us down a worst Case Scenario road. In fact the word very Clearly says that He will make Straight our path, Guide us into abundance and Love us the whole way. Again, Therefore, we don’t travel those roads. This has always been foreign to our Doctors because that seems to be the only roads they travel. However, with exception for our Midwife, who has been an absolute blessing in our lives. I’ll call her D, she has been and unbelievable advocate and strength when I know that we have made her life tough. Even from the first day we found out we were having twins, she said that she wished it wasn’t us. Not because anything wrong, she just knew how we operate and said that with twins the road is much more complicated. With that said D has remained with us the whole way. Swinging the bat in whatever direction we have asked. She has truly been a "God Sent Angel" for us. I can only hope that this journey that we all have been on, including D, that we have blessed her as much as she has TRULY blessed us. Anyway, I just wanted to brag about how God has continued to "beat" the odds. First my wife is a amazing woman, sorry ladies, she stands out bounds above y'all. With that being said you must know that she is 5'3'' 110lbs. so she is not really considered the peak of physical stature. All I am saying is if you were picking a basketball team she might not be your first pick. (Wink, wink, sorry babe) So of course when we started this journey the concern everyone had was could she carry these babies. Well ladies and gentleman here were are going on 36 weeks and she has had no problems, no back pain, in fact she has maintained taking care of our 16 month old and taking care of the house, all while growing two humans inside of her. How about unbelievable, praise the Lord. But it doesn’t stop there. With twins there are some many things that I learned, that I did not know in the beginning. Like about their growth, about the Amniotic fluid index, about the movement, heart rate, practice swallowing, and many more things. These are all things that they continually monitor to make sure the babies are growing developing adequately. Well, all of these things have been amazing, scoring off the charts, she and the babies have been doing amazing. At one point the Dr. said that they were concerned about the growth of the Babies. With twins most times one will be bigger than the other. Which is normal, however, you don’t want one to be too big, that means it is stealing nutrients from the other baby. Well, as is normal Baby A is larger than Baby B. The Dr. told us that they wanted to monitor that because if they continue to grow farther apart they will have to intervene. Well, we sought another opinion from the GREAT PHYSICIAN. We called on DADDY and asked him to grow baby B to bridge the gap in weight, but to not stop the growth of Baby A. You might think wow that is pretty specific, and kinda demanding. Well you have you have to know My DADDY. He loves me, and my wife and these Babies more than I love Me, My wife, and my Babies. I know the will the Lord has for us so I can ask with Confidence that it will be done. And guess what, that is the very Testimony of what happen. Baby B has grown and bridged the gap, while Baby A continues to grow, healthily. Praise the Lord. This Birth has been a completely unbelievable journey, one that I personally thought was going to be rocky, tough and challenging. It goes to show you that although we may think that the waves are crashing, the boat is about to capsize, the Lord lays quietly comfortable resting at the head of our ship. It is only when we fix out eyes in the eyes of the beholder that we can see past all circumstances, all situations, and see strait to the peace and confidence that surpasses all understanding. We have and will continue to fix our eyes on HIM instead ourselves on his eyes as he directs this ship, into wholeness, and perfection as the Author and Perfector, He has promised good to us, so we will sit patiently and trust in his DIRECTION.
