I'd like to show you all a recent picture of my enormous belly but, unfortunately, our digital camera was accidentally submerged in one of the great fishing holes near Bozeman. (Matt, I really have forgiven you :) Another doctor's appointment today ( a "DP" as Matt calls them..."doctor's 'pointment"). Babies are doing well, still plenty of fluid surrounding them, heartbeats are strong, and they continue to be incredibly mobile. I really can't believe how much they can move in such cramped quarters.
I told Dr. Chisdak that I thought the boys had dropped lower and she said she didn't think it was possible...until she checked and, indeed, they had dropped even lower. I am nearly 100% effaced and barely a pinky-width dilated. Still having regular contractions.
Chisdak thanked me for not going into labor yet as she delivered 6 babies over the weekend! She said any time this week would be great...I heartily agree. She thinks I will probably go into labor in the next few days (she was, however, unwilling to guarantee this...dang!) but she went ahead and scheduled a labor induction at the hospital for Monday, April 30. There is an end in sight! I would prefer to go into labor naturally but the desires to 1) meet my sons, 2) move on to the "Mommy" stage, and 3) not be pregnant anymore, are beginning to trump this preference. Our prayer is that I go into labor before Monday's induction becomes necessary. We appreciate your prayers!

I'm your biggest prayer warrior!
How about those names? Just kidding. Love the whole batch of ya!
You have our prayers here in Northern Montana. I know you are trusting God for just the right time in the big picture for those little guys to make the move. It was so good to see you Saturday!
Seth said he thought my Dad dropped his camera in the river, and dried it with the blow dryer and he claims it works again... just a thought. Men! :) I'm so glad you are feeling as well as can be expected. One of my students warned me yesterday that I'd "better get used to talking at the same time, cause that's all that twins do!" Can't wait to see you. Take care.
Hello!
We're so excited for you two and wish we could be there. We can't wait! You are all in our prayers.
Love ya.
