Day 3

Mommy, Daddy, my bother and I are going home today! Thank you SO much for praying for us! The doctors are very pleased with our growth (and dashing good-looks) and we know that it is because of everyone's thoughts and prayers that we are able to go home so soon! Please keep checking the blog as Daddy is going to post more pictures here in the next couple of days. He is always shoving a camera in our faces (see picture below).

Please keep praying for us and especially for Mommy who is recovering from surgery. We can't wait to meet everyone!

Love,
Joseph
The older, wiser brother.

Joseph and Jameson were born at 12:45 and 12:46pm, respectively. Katie is recovering nicely, and both boys are doing very well. Neither little guy needed extra oxygen, which is great, and they continue to get positive results from the nursery. Katie and I are going through a million emotions. We truly want to thank everyone for the prayers, kind words, and good thoughts as we headed into today. We promise to post more in the days to come.

Thank you again and please keep praying for our new family!

Babies Update (36 Weeks)

As crazy as it seems, the delivery date has been set! On Friday, June 27th, at noon o' clock, Katie will have a cesarean section at St. Joseph's hospital in Bloomington! We are very excited to finally see our boys! Katie suggested that one might look just like me and one might look exactly like her. If that is the case, then one of them will be very lucky (I will let you guess which one)!

PLEASE keep Katie and the boys in your thoughts and prayers on Friday, and we promise to update everyone as soon as possible following D-Day (Delivery Day).

Thank you again for all of your support during this amazing journey! We love you all!

God bless,
The McGraws

Babies Update (35 weeks)

The babies' space is getting pretty limited. This meant that we could not get good sonogram photos of the boys, but I have provided everyone with a drawing of what I confidently think they look like.

Both babies have been gaining weight (which is always good news), they now weigh-in at 4 pounds 3 ounces, for "A" and 5 pounds 1 ounce for "B." Katie also put on a little weight - I thought she looked heavier - gaining two whole pounds.

SOOOOOOO...where do we go from here? The biggest factor right now is the weight difference between the two babies. Since they are both still gaining weight - which is good - we are going to see the doctor next Tuesday to measure and weigh them again. As of right now, the plan is to go to the hospital next Friday (June 27th) for a c-section! Of course, this could change if "A" and "B" decide to see the world earlier.

We will post next Tuesday when everything is finalized, but until then, please keep Momma and the boys in your thoughts and prayers! Can you believe this journey's end might be in sight!?

God bless!
