{Packing!!! Packing!!!}

Time is getting close. Birthmom is over 33 weeks pregnant. The boys are healthy and over 4 pounds each. 36 weeks is considered full term for twins. So most likely within 2 1/2 weeks I will be holding my boys!! I get teary eyed every time I think about that.

Things change day by day in the adoption world. But as of right now I am leaving for Florida on MONDAY!! What??? Am I ready- ahhhh no.

I will drive down to Florida with Jadon (and my mom). Jason will stay home and work until the babies are born. I have some family in Florida so I will bounce around until the babies are born.

We most likely will have to stay in Florida 1-3 weeks after the babies are born before we can bring them home. So I may be in Florida for a month. How do you pack for a month?? Plus have JJ clothes?? Plus pack up all the things you need for the newborn babies??

My head is spinning. But full of excitement. Full of anxiety. Cherishing sleep right now.

Most pregnant woman pack a hospital bag before their baby is born. My "hospital" bag is packed and it contains my clothes, JJ clothes, and the twins clothes. One big suitcase!! I will be doing a lot of laundry in Florida. I decided to pack one weeks worth of clothes for each of us, plus a little extra. Then keep washing and wearing the same clothes over and over. At least it is hot down there so I packed shorts and t-shirts. They don't take up as much room.

Each day that goes by is a blessing. We want the twins to stay in the womb until full term. Also as of October 1, the situation may change. I may be able to see and meet the birthmom. And possibly be there for the birth. Please continue to pray for us:
1. That the twins are born healthy and do not need the NICU
2. Pray that the situation changes and that I can meet the Birthmom
3. Pray that the situation will change and that I can be at the birth.
4. Pray for the birthmom as she prepares and goes through labor and then has the painful and agonizing reality of signing the papers. How hard that will be.

Can't wait to share pictures. Can't wait to introduce the new McCabe twins!!
