...and waiting...

Went to see Dr. Greig today, and everything still looks good. The boys are a healthy 4lbs12oz and 4lbs7oz and wriggling like crazy. Baby A still enjoys kicking his brother in the face. I'm sure he's glad his brother decided to turn back head up after a week of being cheek to cheek.

I had to take 3 or 4 of my "stop the contractions" pills this week. They presumably worked, since we didn't go back to the hospital. Dr. Greig told me that if I feel like I need to take one again to just go ahead and go to the hospital - that they wouldn't stop labor at this point. So, it could be any day now!! While there's still a good chance that they'd have to spend time in NICU, the likelihood of it being a shorter stay grows more and more each day. The very selfish part of me wants them OUT so I can breathe again, but I also know that I don't want to leave them in the hospital when we come home.

This week or next week? Or 3 more weeks? Anyone wanna start a pool? :)

I am so excited for you four!!!! Becky you look great. Ryan - I am sure you do too! Already looking forward to this summer when we will be in town - so we can see all of you. Wells and Simeon were recently on Wells' bed supposedly taking a nap -- but really they were listening to Ryan's CD that he gave her many years ago. Couldn't get too upset about that.
Much Love,
Kendall

Hey Becky! You look great! I can't imagine having two babies in my belly! I saw Dr Greig while I was back in America while preg with Kiran and I really liked him. You could tell his faith was evident in his work. I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well and that labor is quick and painless!
