Admitted to the hospital-. Last update page 16 (or something like that)

All the hugs for you right now @GirPipley. You are entitled to all of your feelings, including feeling bad for some of them. I think everything you are feeling makes sense. I wish your husband could be with you right now and I know he does too. But it still sucks that he's at the San Diego Zoo and you're in the hospital alone with an unsympathetic ultrasound tech. I wish we could all visit you in person but I hope that these messages are the next best thing. I'm sorry your sister was being insensitive. Even if her friend does deserve concern and prayers, it was still insensitive. I hope you can find a fitting distraction from these dark thoughts. It's all right to have them of course, but it's not comfortable.

This forum has turned to shit, but I had to come back to check on you and your boys.  I'm so glad you're all hanging in there.  And OMG your sister!  Don't feel bad for being angry.  There really is no comparison to what you're going through and someone who had a full term healthy baby.  Sheesh.  Also, I'm so sorry the ultrasound tech didn't give you pictures of your boys.  Ask for a redo with pics!  Demand it.  You do need as many pics as possible to get you through this shitty time.  

I'm a photographer and wanted to tell you about an organization, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  I'm praying you never ever need the service, but in case you do deliver the boys early and one or both don't survive, NILMDTS will send a professional photographer to the hospital to do pictures of them.  I've done this many times myself, and I can't stress the importance of it enough.  Like you said, sometimes photos of your babies is all you have to remember them.  The photographers at NILMDTS are trained to photoshop the babies to the parents liking - if you want it.  I found that most parents preferred the altered pics that made the babies look like they're just sleeping.  That way, you can really see what they looked like and focus on their features and their life and the love the parents feel for the baby, not just the sadness of their passing.  I just wanted to tell you in case you hadn't heard of the organization.

However, you're doing so well!  I really think you're gonna make it to viability with these guys.  Reading your story, my heart just aches for you and your husband.  You both deserve to bring these babies home, and I can tell you're both amazing parents already.  Yay for making it to Wednesday!  One day at a time, little troopers.  

BIG CREEPY INTERNET HUG!

@GirPipley‌ giant hugs and never ever apologize for sharing your feelings with us! This is what we are here for, and we are here for you all the way!

I've been looking for you on the dark side, I don't know if you're checking here still or not. I just wanted to send you so much love! It's impossible not to feel envy & jealous of normal pregnancies. Don't beat yourself up for it, that feeling isn't going to go away. MH bitches all the time when we see friends going on babymoons & pregnant ladies outside jogging & leading normal lives; these are things we'll never get to experience & I think envying that is completely normal.

I think about you & your boys every single day.

*HUGS* my friend. I would do anything I could to make this better for you. Not to be a creepy ass stalker, but I'm right down 95 if there's anything you need. I know you have family and all up there, but I'm definitely thinking of you and cheering you on.

I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now. I've been following your posts/updates and truly believe you are a strong woman (even having never met you). I am crossing my fingers for you and LOs

I don't even know what to say.  I've been absent recently and just had a chance to read your posts.  I am so sorry you are going through this.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your babies.

Thank you so much for the update. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Praying for you and your precious boys.

ciennah99

Still keeping you and your babies in my thoughts and prayers! I agree with PP you don't need to feel bad about anything you are feeling. I am sure it is just a rollercoaster of emotions and I'm sure anyone would be feeling the same way.

Ravenclaw314

Still thinking of, and praying for you!

Thanks for the continuous updates. I don't frequent TB daily, so this is the first time reading this thread. My T and P are with you and your babies. I cannot imagine how challenging this would be to stay positive and calm. You are entitled to each and everyone of your feelings. Not only are you going through a difficult time, you have crazy amounts of hormones coursing through your body right now. Just try to remember to breathe during frustrating moments, find your happy place, and then rant about it when it's over so you can let all those emotions out. (Basically keep doing what you're doing.

How are your twins? I've been reading your posts every since you've started this thread and am truly hoping everything is going well. I know you have not updated for few days now and sure it's because you're all doing better, right?:)
I understand that you might be posting somewhere else, but still hope to hear that your boys are fine.
Take care and be strong.

So very sorry. I'm praying for you all.

Just saw that people are still checking this. I have been updating on the other site. If I post a link to the blog, the bump will put me on hold again. If you google "the very complicated gestation of the Girard twins" the blog should come up. Sorry for those that were looking for updates.

Just FYI- things are not looking great, so just be prepared for an unpleasant update.
