Not yet....

Well, Guess the case worker and the Legal Worker at the prison, spoke to medical and misinterpreted what was going on ...and called me.
Birth mother was having complications and was in and out of contractions....so they called me and told me to GET READY!

Last night I received the call that she was back in her room, so guess I SHOULD have taken advantage and slept!
But the Anxiety and worry for both Mom and baby leave me praying and mind racing...
Sooo Unless something changes , and to my (limited) understanding. Mom will be induced on Tuesday.

We had our visiting passes expedited so we are going to go meet her tomorrow.

Maybe I should start packing for Haiti in the mean time?

SO SOON?!?!?!?

HOLY MOLY....
Sooo YES I AM GOING TO HAITI on the 11th....NO I was not planning on the babies coming so soon!
I knew she might go into labor any day, but speaking with the lawyer today...he told me she might be having a CESAREAN nest week!
What the....
I was PRAYING that I would not be in Haiti when they were born....but maybe I should have been MORE SPECIFIC?

Blessings are Blessings no matter when they come right?
Gods Hand was already in it( I have one friend that possibly may be taking them with my other children while in Haiti)and moments after I posted on my facebook account, a dear WONDERFUL friend (whom I soo haven't hung out with and miss) offered to take the babes while I was gone. Can you hear those angels? WOW...
You just can't doubt when you are doing something you are supposed to do when you see Gods hand and love through the goodness and unconditional love of other people...

Still hyperventilating...TWINS in the next couple of days! SERIOUSLY...

Yeah...I have an OFFICE to clean out...and a GAZILLION other things to do!

Question: What do you call "Nesting" on Steroids...cause I am soo there!

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

Had this question asked a lot today , since we have made the information public.

Well lets JUST say ...I thought I had WAY more than I do.

Last night I got out of good ole' storage all of my baby girl stuff (eight years old) and went through it ...first of all , my oldest bio daughter "Sweet Pea",was born in June ...NOT NOVEMBER...second, I tend to be a giver (BIG Shocker Right?) and through the years as people have needed this and that ...given stuff away.

So pretty much , I have a TON of 3-6 month clothes...some 6-9....and like a days worth of 0-3 month clothing, an hours worth of Newborn and (since they are twins and will be tiny) take home from the hospital outfits for Preemie's.

Help!

So I set out to find a list of "Gotta have items"....and OK some "really darn cute items"...what I want to say next is that I am not asking , begging or expecting anything from anyone...but if Ya'll are interested, I registered at Target for stuff I am still needing.
NOW THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR BRAND SPANKING NEW STUFF...I am WAY cool with used items...this was just a way for me to put out there the list of things I still need.

You can go to www.target.com
click on baby registry and put my name "Lindsay Crapo" in the Find registry box.


Also any gift cards to prepare for these cuties is AWESOME.
Walmart, Target, Costco...
Yes these would be helpful.

Thanks you ALL for your generous offers and support!

Lindsay and Trevor

If not us then who?

You can call it CRAZY...
Maybe it is.
We have prayed HARD and long.

We also want to respect the babies Birth Mothers situation, but please know that we empathize and feel for her, parent to parent, mother to mother.
We heard word of the babies situation only one and a half weeks ago.
EVERYTHING has fallen into place.
Every concern weather it be medical, formula and EVEN diapers have been practically handed to us , with in hours of the concern.

We truly believe it is our Father in Heavens will, that we love and provide for these babies. We feel blessed to have these little gifts in our home as long or as short as needs be.

Please do not feel obligated, but if you are interested in helping Faith and Hope in any way, please contact me via blog.
