Here we are at 32 weeks! According to the book the babies should weigh four pounds each. We just had an appointment and the babies heartbeats sounded good, the doctor had a hard time keeping track of the girl because she was moving around so much. Ryan could see both of them move as the doctor tried to get the heartbeats.
We have an ultrasound in two weeks to see the positions of the babies and to see the amount of nutrition the babies are getting. The next day we will see the doctor for results. We asked how much after the 36 weeks will be safe for the babies, if we would go to the 40 weeks? He said that they don't want to go longer then 38 because the nutrition and room often runs out and they don't need to go the whole 40 weeks. He also said that if I go into labor before 34 weeks they will try to stop labor, but after 34 weeks is okay. So the babies could come, anytime, but really two to six weeks is the window. That's crazy! We are so excited, it's really hard waiting. God is so amazing and we are thankful for so many reason. We are monitoring the babies movement. They are quite active and are now making my stomach lopsided. You may be wondering about a C-section, at this point we don't know. It will depend on the positions of the babies. But we talked with the doctor and all of us want to not do a C-section unless we have to, which is good that he agrees too. We are still talking Lamaze classes and learning what we can.
Ryan is the best husband, I got home today and he had cleaned the whole house, had a fire going and Christmas music playing and fresh juice to drink. Later that night he made me taco salad for dinner. Delicious! He is a hard worker and a caring husband.
Ryan also preached on Sunday, It's really nice that he got this opportunity to share God's word. I'm really proud of him and the man he is.

Yes, you have a great husband!Pregnancy is exhausting for both parents, although most people only recognize the mom because she's the one waddling around with a huge belly (= Duane was extremely supportive as well. You are going to make wonderful parents, I'm happy to hear you'll be delivering in the next 2-6 weeks- so soon.
I love all of your pics of travel. Take care. Love and blessings, Dusti Stark
Kealy, you probably do not remember me but we had some classes together at Western and a few mutual friends. I just wanted to say that I am praying for your family! Also I have a friend that had twins and the first one was head down but the second one was not head down and they did not want a c-section so they got them all set up in the operating room just in case and let her deliver the first one and the second one flipped head down and came out on her own. :) I am sure you guys are praying and learning a lot about this right now but I thought that was a really good way to do things. I look forward to seeing the progress! I just became a mom and it is AMAZING!
God bless!
