post op now?!??

Today I received a packet on my pre op instructions.  This came as a bit of a surprise since I am not having surgery until January!  I am almost 20 weeks pregnant and still working on carrying these twins while growing exponentially every night it seems.  So many of these things need to be done "as soon as possible" which I kind of find surprising.  I feel like things could change between now and then.  I also have to get permission to continue medications, vitamins... I feel a bit taken off guard and a bit overwhelmed.  I mean, it's summer!  I am trying to enjoy the last month with my boys before they head back to school and I begin to nest for our newest family additions.  This is kind of a big fat reality check I wasn't expecting until, I don't know, January!  Oh well, better to be safe than sorry.  So, tomorrow I will be making more phone calls, scheduling more appointments and getting geared up for a surgery that is only 6 months away!  HAHAHA!  I can't help but laugh.  I can't believe I have to do all this stuff now!  But whatever, I will do as I am asked to do.  I think it's silly and I hope and pray I don't have to do it again right before surgery, won't that be a waste!
Anyway, just wanted to keep you up to date.  Please pray for my kiddos as we have a rocky road ahead of us.  Pray that the Lord will provide care for my 3 boys now and my 5 boys later as I have surgery and spend time recovering.  Pray for Jake as he will eventually have to take over and manage everything kid and household related.  I know he can do it but it's a job he hasn't had to do before.  It can be overwhelming for me and it's my job! LOL  So, just keep us and our fabulous little boys in your prayers.  Pray for them as they struggle with transition.  Pray for me as I can tend to struggle with fear.  Fear of not making it, fear of leaving my children, fear of losing my voice, fear of my voice changing and my children not knowing my voice.... so many fears.  Pray for my peace and for God's hand to be at work in us and through my doctors.
Thank  you for your faithful prayers.  The Lord hears and we are blessed through them!

In Him,
