Okay, let's do this thing.

Well, folks - today is the day. Joe and I are heading to the hospital this morning to be induced into labor. Our doctors felt that the time has come in which it is now better for the health of our babies and me that they be born. They have already well exceeded the average gestation for twins, and besides, we are eager to meet these little ones of ours after all these months! I have been off work since February 23rd, and have been just waiting and spending most of my time on bedrest. Plus, we've checked nearly everything off our to-do list... and I sure am ready to get my blood pressure and skin back to normal (I have been covered in a miserable itchy rash called PUPPPs for the last week - so... not... fun...).

So, the time has come. We are feeling a little nervous and excited this morning, as it is somewhat of a strange feeling to have the birth of your children planned out in this way. Wish us luck today - we are hoping for the smoothest labor and delivery that is possible with twins! And the next time you hear from us, we will officially be parents!
