This has been a very restful, yet exciting week! First, the big news: After our appointment with our doctor today, we have rescheduled our c-section for this Tuesday, December 22nd! We were in shock a little bit, but our now quite excited that the babies will be here in less than a week! The doctor feels that the babies are progressing along far enough to be delivered, and Kealy's blood pressure is continuing to escalate at times, so that doctor prefers to deliver sooner than later for Kealy and the babies' safety. At any rate, we trust our doctor and are excited about the babies' immanent arrival.
Kealy is getting used to be tested:
This past week Kealy has had a fantastic attitude and we have really enjoyed her time on bedrest. We have had wonderful moments of quiet and reflection as we prepare for our little ones to join us in our family. We have realized that the prescription of bedrest has forced us to slow down and enjoy one another, and having time to prepare for the babies. It has brought clarity during this advent season, realizing that, in the same way we are preparing space and 'room' for our little ones, we ought to be preparing room in our hearts for the Christ Child to dwell and live.
We've had some wonderful visitors this past week who have encouraged us and helped past the time. Our families have been very supportive and Kealy's mom even came down and gave Kealy a foot spa and made us lasagna for dinner on Monday night.
The spa treatment:
The finished product:
Now that we know that the babies will be here in six days or less, we have made a list of things that we want to finish before they come. Along with some Christmas shopping and last minute cleaning, we're putting together those swings and bouncies to keep the babies happy.
Trying to put it together, not one of my strengths:
FINISHED:
We are continuing to have tests done over the next six days to make sure Kealy and the babies are healthy, but barring any unforeseen changes, our little ones will be joining our family in six days, on December 22nd, 2009, at 7:30am in the morning.
Kealy's keeping comfy, waiting for the big day:
We would love to see you at the hospital or at home, as the holidays progress and you have time. We can't wait to meet our kids, and then introduce them to all of you. Stay tuned for the big day!
in Christ,
Ryan and Kealy

Kealy I love the picture with your Mom doing your feet, it made me laugh and cry, she loves you so much she would do any thing for you, just like the feet washing in the Bible.
