Still Growing...



Only a week since the last post and Mommy's belly has gotten even larger!!!

Co-workers are commenting every day that my belly's bigger than the day before. My next prenatal checkup is May 26th. Shortly after that appointment the midwife will have to transfer care to an OB doctor. Multiples pregnancies are considered high risk in America and so twin births are restricted to hospitals with obstetric doctors and water birth is out of the question. I'm very disappointed, as Chris and I were looking forward to a water birth in a birthing center with minimal intervention. We can only hope and pray now that we can find an obstetric doctor who sympathizes with our wishes to have as natural a birth as possible without endagering the babies or myself. I strongly believe that childbirth is a natural event and wish to avoid cesarean. Please keep us in your prayers as we search for an obstetric doctor.
