My heart is full today, and I truly feel blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Being a medical student is extremely stressful. These last few months, Billy has had to not only study for his classes, but also study for boards. These tests are crucial in determining which residency/specialty Billy will or will not get into - in other words, these tests will determine our future. In addition, Billy also has had to:
- do everything that I am no longer able/allowed to do, like grocery shopping and heavy lifting,
- stress out about our boys being born prematurely,
- stress out about our boys being born before he takes the boards,
- stress out about the possibility that I might have to get surgery,
- stress out about the possibility that I might be doing more than I should,
- and stress out about not being able to handle it all.
I wish that there was something I could do to help him, but all I can really do is show my support and appreciation for all that he does. Resting is now my #1 priority, not only because it can save our babies' lives, but also because it can save Billy's education. If I can prove my doctors wrong, carry the babies until after Billy has taken the boards, and deliver them in perfect health, there will be a lot less stress on him.
I know that if I do my part, the Lord will do His.

Hey Nathalie, how are you? I hope you're feeling well. Wow I didn't realize all the stresses and concerns facing you. You are really brave! I'm sure it's hard to be on bed rest. If you get bored seriously call me and Evan and I'll come visit. WE could help run errands too if you need it. Good luck! And I'm all for watching movies too...
