In Love...

I have fallen in love... again and again and again... I'm so thankful for mom and dad being here to help me out as well... I had my final check up with the obstetrician this week, and it was kind of sad to say goodbye. It was such an "involved" pregnancy that I believe we made friends. The high level of anxiety surrounding the pregnancy increased our bond. It was amazing to hear him utter the words... "there must have been some sort of divine intervention" which I of course assured him, there was! I told him about the people who had been praying for us all around the world, and I hoped this journey was a part of changing his life - in drawing him closer to God. He smiled and I could see a glimpse of relief mixed with joy for the outcome of this pregnancy. The more I talked with him and the other surgeons, the more I realized what a miracle it is to have Levi and Malakai here. And I am so in love with these boys....so so so in love...

Of course being 34 weeks pregnant makes it difficult to plan anything big, which is just as well, as he never wanted to have a huge party anyway. However we did manage to have a surprise b'day lunch on Sunday - and his entire family (and a few others) were able to be with him to celebrate. It was so wonderful to have the whole family together again. We started at Lazy Moe's where the quantities of food overwhelm you... Following lunch, we gathered at Ross and Carlene's for cake and presents. Carlene made an incredible mud cake which I have to admit I tried...twice. We were able to surprise Leigh with a gift voucher from a bunch of his friends and family from all over the world, for RED BALLOON , which is a website that allows you to pick from a wide variety of FUN experiences. Some examples include sky diving, scuba
