27 weeks!!

Hi everyone!  I'm still home and still have two little girls still content and staying put! 

Sick of reading the word 'stable' yet?  I'm not... things are still stable!  Things haven't gotten better but haven't gotten worse. 

I had my glucose test on Monday and got a big ol' 'F' on that!  Typically women have to do the three hour glucose test after failing the one hour, but Dr. Larson doesn't want me sitting in the lab for three hours so I got a glucometer thing, and I have to test my blood sugar twice a day.  Women pregnant with twins have 70% higher chance of having gestational diabetes.  I don't 'officially' have it, but we're monitoring the numbers. 

I am now the babies' punching bag.  Punching me in places that aren't the most pleasant.... bladder, ribs, other regions I won't mention... and I think one tries to take a jab at my spine once in awhile... and it's all awesome!  I'm trying to find little things like that and turning them into big things to make this pregnancy a little more enjoyable because even thru all this... pregnancy IS incredible and a complete gift. 

We're 27 weeks today... and doctors in Rochester, with all their facts  and stats, said I wouldn't make it past 24-25 weeks in my 'current state' (sense the sarcasm?). Once again, faith proves to be stronger than human knowledge... and that's been a hard thing to come to terms with... leaning on my faith more than human knowledge in times of complete uncertainty.  I haven't been the most optimistic person at times... basically feeling like a ticking time bomb.  We're further along than any doctor predicted! WOW!  Pure blessing! 

Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and prayers.  As I've said before... we are beyond blessed to have SO much support and love surrounding us!! 

P.S.  If you haven't had enough to read, I came upon this blog post today and LOVED it... really hit home and put my stirring mind at a little bit of ease.    :-)
