I wanted to carry them to full-term and weighing at least 5 lbs. each. I also wanted to be able to deliver them without having to have a c-section. For this to have the best chance of happening, they both had to be head down. I wanted the labor to last less than six hours. I wanted to be able to work up until they were born. I wanted them born healthy without any complications.
Each and every single item on my little list, God answered plus. I carried them 38 weeks (all the longer the doctor would let me), they weighed over 6 lbs, they were both head down the entire time. I worked up until they were born. They were delivered with 2 1/2 hours of labor. We came home in two days with no NICU time.
It was a true test of patience, prayer, and endurance. It was a revelation of how big our God is!
