Two growing girls!!!

We had our weekly sonogram today. The girls are looking good and growing lots! Cooper is still head-down at 4 lbs 4 oz, and Conley is still transverse at 4 lbs 10 oz!! I have talked to Dr. Wood, and we are still going to try to avoid a c-section if the girls maintain these positions. We will hopefully deliver Cooper with no problems and then hope to get Conley to turn head-down to deliver immediately after Cooper. This is my prayer and hope right now ... to make it to 36 weeks and to avoid a c-section! After 12+ weeks of bed rest, I would like to avoid a surgery to recover from on top of my fatigue and muscle loss from bed rest. I'm also so looking forward to holding them as much as possible as soon as possible if I am able to once they are delivered, because just to have them far enough along they will possibly spend NO time in the NICU, will be such a blessing and I hope to be able to celebrate in that moment holding both girls in my arms!!! Wow, I just can't believe how close we are!!

Thank you ALL for your prayers over these past 10 weeks! We are so blessed and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from so many family and friends as well as people that we don't even know personally. We have to say thank you to SOOOOOOO many helping hands that have made these last 10 weeks so much easier on us than they could have been. The meals for Matt and Campbell as well as here at the hospital (so I didn't have to get too burned out on hospital food!) have been so appreciated! The visits here at the hospital, flowers, cards and other goodies have been very heart-warming. Thank you to my mom and Matt that have spent HOURS up here with Campbell so that I could see her EVERY single day of my hospital stay. I know it was not always the most exciting thing to do. Thank you also to my mom for doing my laundry this entire time. That has been so awesome! Thank you to all of our family for the help with Campbell and the many many meals. I have eaten so well for having been in the hospital for 10 weeks :-) , and I have not had many lonely days, that's for sure! Thank you Matt for holding down the fort at home so well while I've been gone! I can't wait to be home sweet home!

We are truly blessed!!

What a great report!!! God is so GOOD!!! I was telling someone about you the other day and while I was telling the story I was reminded of the MIRACLES that your 3 girls are!!! No one would have expected things to turn out the way they did - only God could have made that happen! How awesome!!!
