Surreal.
And yet not.
I am at times keenly aware that tomorrow - or in a FEW HOURS really- we will be at the hospital just that much closer to meeting our babies.
And at other times it just feels like a normal day.
I have had a myriad emotions all day today.
I am a little sad this is my last day as a pregnant woman. I really have loved pregnancy. We have been so blessed with a drama free pregnancy, and I don't take that for granted. Last night the babies really put on a show for us! It was so special to just sit and watch them "riverdance" for us =).
I feel nervous. I am not really nervous about the pain -perhaps naively- but instead am struggling a bit with fear. Nervous of all the things that can go wrong. Would you all please lift us up in prayer? Pray that the spirit of fear would not be able to take up any residence in our minds. I have my list of Bible verses I am taking with me tomorrow to arm myself with the Word of God, but would love some prayer as well!
I have felt strange doing normal things today. I woke up at 4:40am and came out to the couch and watched TV for a bit. I watched 4 consecutive episodes of Saved By the Bell (the ones where the gang worked that summer at the resort, with Leah Remini as Zack's love interest Stacy Carosi...anyone remember those? Good times.) I kept thinking...I should be doing something else to "revere" today...but nothing came to me, and it was before the sun was up.
And mainly I feel excited. Tomorrow I will meet my babies...or it could be Saturday I suppose, but you get my point. Tomorrow I will be in labor, and that means my babies are coming! David and I are so very excited to see what they look like...what color hair they have and how much (ultrasounds showed lots of hair!), what color their eyes are, how big they are, if they look like each other... and we are SO excited to hold them in our arms, finally.
God has been so gracious to us. I can not believe we have been so blessed to carry these babies this far.
We know He will be with us tomorrow, and that He will command His angels concerning us.
We are grateful for that too.
Thank you so much for all your prayers, we appreciate them more than I can ever express.
My sister Emily will update the blog when they get here!!
Much love,

Kendra, I will be praying for you. For a safe arrival of the twins, and that you will be able to feel peace instead of fear.
I am so excited for you!!! I cannot wait to meet these babies too! I was so glat to see that someone will be updating your blog!! I can't wait to hear all about the day that you got to meet your precious little miracles!! God Bless you my sweet friend!
I'm praying and will continue too...can't wait!
I'll be praying for you tomorrow. Can't wait to meet those miracles that we've all been praying for!
Such a sweet sweet post Kendra. I can't believe today (or tomorrow) is FINALLY your big day.
Sending many prayers and blessings your way as you welcome home your miracle babies!!!
I have so enjoyed taking this journey with you :)
A monumental day, indeed. As miserable as I was in L&D on Thursday (feeling sorry for myself mostly), I did have a moment of clarity where I stopped and thanked God for the blessing he gave us two twenty-somethings in answering a small prayer of our hearts -- to experience these pregnancies together.
I love you, girl, and am SO proud of you. Can't wait to see the miracles that are Lucas and Abbey.
No, go kick some labor butt! =)
Good luck today! I am so excited for you and praying for you today!
Congrats! You are in my prayers! My sister delivered her twins about two years ago and it seems like yesterday - they are cute little toddlers now!! Cant wait to hear and see pics of your new gifts from God!!!!
So exciting!! I'm so glad this day is finally here! Praying against the spirit of fear and that you would rest and enjoy these days ahead!
Can't wait to see your precious miracles! I can't believe too that it is already time for them to be here! I will be anxiously awaiting the pictures and the story of their journey into the world! Praying for you!
I am so excited for you guys! I simply can't wait to see their beautiful faces! Praying for a smooth delivery!
Praying praying praying! It's 10am on Friday and I'm wondering how things are progressing for you! Can't wait to hear how it is going and know you are safe in God's hands!
I'm so thrilled for you and praying for you as this new stage in your life begins!
Been praying all day....can't wait to see those sweet faces! I have goosebumps just thinking about the fact that THIS, RIGHT NOW, is "Baby day!!!" Oh, praise you, Lord!!!
Prayers, prayers and more prayers, hugs, and lots of love are going out to you!! I am thinking of you and cannot wait until your precious bundles of joy enter the world!
Can't get you off my mind sweet friend....I'M SO EXCITED for you!!!
Praying for you TODAY too friend!!!!! I can't wait to hear the good news!
I am a lurker...can't remember how I got here...hahaha. But I am praying for you and safe delivery of your precious twins. Good luck and enjoy every minute of it...even the painful ones!!!
Can't wait to see pictures of the sweet babies!

What a sweet, poignant post! I'm undone. Praise prayers going up.
You and David and Luke and Abbey have been on our hearts and minds so much this week, and especially today/tonight.
Last text... 8 cm. You go girl.
LOVE,
