Life is Grand

I just barely made it to 37 weeks. The girls finally joined us on Tuesday September 16, 2008. Hannah Malaika was born at 11:11am weighing 5lbs 6oz and 18 1/4 inches long. Alysah Grace was born at 11:13am weighing 5lbs 1oz and 17 3/4 inches long.

We are all doing well with the adjustment and getting used to life with 3 children under the age of 3. The house is always full of activity and we have had tons of help as well as visitors. The Noll and Boon families have been an amazing help and there is no way I would have ever wanted to do this without family around. Elijah is getting used to having two little ones around. The girls are gaining weight as expected and are little eating, sleeping and pooping machines.

Week 36..The End

Well, technically I'm not at the very end, but it's in sight and just around the corner. The doctor decided he was too busy Monday morning inducing two other women so I was put on the back burner "until a later time". I have an appointment tomorrow and am going to beg and plead to have the babies right then. We'll see how it goes.
Chris has been here for a week now and we have enjoyed the time together. Elijah is a completely different child and is soaking up every second of Daddy time that he can get. It's amazing to see what a difference it makes when a family is complete. Elijah is more obedient, more joyful, he laughs all the time and just loves life. God obviously knew what he was doing when he made families complete with a man and woman. It just doesn't work the same when it's not done by His design. Anyhow, here we are enjoying our time together as a family and our last nights of great sleep for a LONG while.
