A New Pediatrician to see

February 14th, 2008

We met with Dr. Kimberly Albert today, who will be the twins pediatrician, to have her review the medical results with us. Not only did she give the twins a glowing review, she also shared with us that she has twin boys of her own and could relate to what we would be experiencing as parents once the adjustment period ends. We have felt God's hand at each step and this was just another confirmation of His approval and love for us in all this.

I snickered when she said "You know, they're going to be partners in crime." I seriously thought she was JOKING! until she said "I'm very serious. One of them will try to distract you while the other one conquers what he was after." Well, that's definitely something to think about!!

2nd Medicals are in!

February 8th, 2008

We received the final medical information on the twins today. What a blessing it was to read how healthy they are. Their height and weight place them in the 75th percentile of American children. As you know, our biological children are rather tall as well, so this is just another confirmation that the twins must be Flippens.

I had to laugh when we walked in the door to the house this afternoon to find the medicals in my inbox. See, the funny thing is that I have, literally (I kid you NOT), been waiting by the computer for DAYS, waiting for the medicals to come through. It wasn't until we left town Friday morning to go on a medical mission trip to Acuna, Mexico AND I was away from my desk for the first time in days, that the information FINALLY came through. I know that our God has a sense of humor. I can just picture Him watching me anxiously waiting for that email, then it comes through the second I leave. Literally, the email came at 6:40 Friday morning, as we were leaving the house to head up to the church. Of course, I was without email or phone communication until we returned this afternoon. Ha!

Needless to say, we were seriously excited to see those second medicals today!
