Not a lot to report lately, but wanted to give an update for those asking.
The girls continue to put on weight and are growing well. We aren’t getting much sleep at all, but we’re doing our best to remember that this won’t last forever. *Experienced twin parents- send me all the tips for helping twins sleep longer and at the same time, please!!
The big kids are great! They seem so big next to the babies, and they adore their sisters so much.
My mom is a saint- truly being fully immersed in this hard season of life with us. She’s taking multiple late night feedings, helps care for and transport the big kids each day, and does plenty of laundry and dishes. We would be lost without her.
My dad and my mother in law watch the babies on my chemo days, which are long, sometimes 5-6 hour days. They’ve become quite the team and we are thankful.
I still have 9 more chemo sessions, and I hate how they drain me. Living on limited sleep is enough, but adding on dealing with the awful side effects of these drugs just seems so unfair. But still, I keep going. There is no other option. It is looking like my surgery will be sometime in June.
We are beyond thankful for prayers, cards, and all the food. Our church, Grace Point, set up a meal train for us when the babies first came home from the hospital, and some dear friends have dropped off food as well. We found an unexpected blessing in a meal train from another church, St. John Neumann. One family at our sitter’s attends there and shared our story. I’m so moved that people we’ve never met are bringing meals to get us through my chemo days. It’s so hard to accept help, but we are beyond grateful!
Sending love and many prayers to our family and friends. Hope everyone is finding joy in the journey and trying to focus on the good in this broken and chaotic world. ❤️
