Three days until my surgery, and then Madeline and Gabriel will join us in the world. Hard to believe we've made it through nine months of enduring and preparing. We feel about as ready as we can be. Their room is together; we have TONS of diapers and wipes, and a comfortable place for them to sleep. Philip and I have felt so supported by our family, friends, and co-workers throughout this entire pregnancy. We want to say a big THANK YOU to all of you for your encouragement. It has made all the difference in the world. So, we'll spend these next three days resting up for the adventure that awaits us! Here is one last belly shot. Consider it the BEFORE shot of Gabe and Maddy.

Hi Steph & Phil,
ReplyDeleteMY TUMMY ACHES FOR YOU!!!!!! Your Grandmother called me yesterday and told me about the picture and I couldn't wait to see it! I opened my email at work and immediately screamed, OH MY GOSH!!!!! Everyone came to see if I was ok!
Seriously, I will be praying for you all day tomorrow and I can't wait to see "the kids". The two of you should get as much rest as you can now because those days are over!! We love you all and hope to see you soon! I will report everything to Melanie and Traci.
Love you bunches,
Aunt Joyce
