Remarkable

First, I want to thank every one for flooding heaven with prayers on behalf of the babies and me. Last week, I was kinda in a funk and crabby. I feel that I lost sight of the good things that are happening around me and what remarkable things the Lord has done for me.
First and foremost, the most remarkable thing that is I am carrying three healthy babies. Although at times it is not fun and can be very uncomfortable, it is still a great blessing. All three babies are doing so well and growing like weeds. Their weights are as follows; Jacob 3 lbs 12 oz, Quinn 4 lbs 1 oz and Claire 3 lbs. I have now passed Hayden's birth weight. He topped the scales at 10 lbs, 10 oz and I am now carrying 10lbs 13 oz of babies. There is only one words that can be said, remarkable.
The second thing that amazes me is all the love and support that I get from my family and friends. The fact that so many people are out there praying for me and my family. I truly can feel God's presence and support. Remarkable.
Last but certainly not the end, is the fact that I have been able to carry these babies for 30 weeks with the hopes of going to 34 weeks. I did not realize this significance until Jeff and I visited the Neonatal unit. Everyone we talked with, was so impressed and over joyed that I was 30 weeks. To me it just seemed like another number in my count down but after seeing those tiny babies, I now know how remarkable it is.
I am now going to try and enjoy the ride that this journey is taking me on. I have learned so many things about myself, my husband, my sister and many others. This ride will soon be over and I want to try and see all the remarkable things about it.

Good morning Jen,

Finally able to get to your blog. Didn't have the / at the end. I have a bookmark on it now.

I can certainly understand feeling a little "funky" at times. But you have a great spirit.

Every day gets one day closer and it sounds like babies are doing nicely.

We are proud of you and praying for you.

Love,
Gramdpa and Alice

Hi Jen
I read this a day late and now you are home!!! Congratulations. We are so happy for you that you can be in your own home as you wait for the babies. Even though we chat almost every day, I still love reading what you post. I hope you won't stop now that you are home. Claire, Quinn, and Jacob are now such a part of our lives that we can't wait to see them. Just think what Mother's Day next year will be!

Stay strong and know that we are VERY proud of you and Jeff.
Love
Loretta and Doug
