Words can not express how appreciative, blessed, loved...(I could go on and on) we feel after all of the wonderful celebrations of Kairyn and Jaxyn we have had this summer! We are overwhelmed with how loved our girls are ALREADY! We are confident that they will know the exact meaning of love through all of you!
Some amazing family members decided to have a family gathering in honor of Kairyn and Jaxyn in New Braunfels at our home. It was a great time with family that we will cherish forever! Enjoy another slide show..pictures compliments of Alan Motl (he's my photographer btw)
Update on the babes:
Natalie is now going every week to the Doctor so they can closely monitor the babies since the due date is so very close. She had another non-stress test done this week and the results were the same. The babies are doing great and Natalie is still having some contractions that she does not feel. Next week we will get another big ultrasound done and meet with the doctor again. Let's hope Jaxyn has decided to put her head down like her big sister :) The babies are still moving around like crazy and making mom a lot bigger and a lot more uncomfortable at night. Natalie is no longer working, doctor's recommendations, therefore she is suppose to be putting her feet up and doing a lot of nothing. This however, does not go over too well with her, but we are doing the best we can. Week 34 (starting 7/5) marks a milestone!! We aren't real sure what that means besides that we think that is when the babies' lungs are fully development and they are on the safe side of things so wooohooo!! This also means that if Natalie were to go into labor in that week she would get to have the babies here in New Braunfels rather than San Antonio. SA has a level 3 NICU where as NB does not. So our bags are packed and the car seats are in the car ready to go. We are starting to realize how close this really is and we are getting more excited each day!
On a sadder note:
Patton has taken a turn for the worse and is not thriving on his own. We are now praying for peace and serenity with God's plan for our precious baby boy. We have not yet decided what is best for him and are trying really hard not to be selfish and keep him here longer than he should be. This has been a roller coaster of emotions especially for Natalie. During this very exciting time we would love for every family member to be healthy and ready to greet the girls when they arrive however, if this is not the case we trust in our Lord and know that he will bring us through this difficult time. Please continue to pray for all of us! We will keep you updated. The link below will explain patton's condition in depth.
